The CarpentryCon @ Home Task Force would appreciate community feedback on proposals, and seeks regional hosts to help facilitate sessions at the conference.
CarpentryCon @ Home kicks off on July 14 and now is a great time for as many as are interested in our community to get involved - comment on session proposals you would like to see, contribute to sessions still looking for help, and volunteer to be a call host for your region. Help Us Review Proposals We invite you to review sessions proposed for CarpentryCon @ Home <https://2020.carpentrycon.org/> by other community members in the issues section of this repository <https://github.com/carpentrycon/carpentryconhome-proposals/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen>. Reviewing proposals is a two-step process: * Read each proposal, ask clarifying questions or volunteer to help run the session in the comments section, and * Upvote (using the thumbs-up emoji 👍) or comment on the proposals you would like to see included in the six-week schedule between 14 July - 31 August 2020. Please note that all CarpentryCon @ Home sessions will be expected to adhere to The Carpentries Code of Conduct <https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/policies/code-of-conduct.html>. Volunteer to Help Run Specific Sessions Several proposals are looking for contributors, specific feedback, or session co-chairs. All of the sessions in need of community input can be found under the help wanted <https://github.com/carpentrycon/carpentryconhome-proposals/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22> tag. Sign Up As a Regional Session Host Timezone ranges for CarpentryCon @ Home*Timezone ranges for CarpentryCon @ Home* Another way to contribute to CarpentryCon @ Home is by becoming a *Regional Session Host*. Because CarpentryCon @ Home sessions will be delivered remotely, we are looking for local community members to help host CarpentryCon @ Home sessions slated to take place at specific times. Here is a breakdown of timezones we have bundled up <https://github.com/carpentrycon/carpentryconhome-proposals/blob/master/README.md#timezone>. What is the role of a Regional Session Host? Borrowing from The Carpentries guide to running online CarpentryConnect events <https://carpentryconnect.org/online/#CallHosts>, the role of Regional Session Hosts will include: * Introducing speakers at the start of their session in the online event * Recording the session after introducing the speaker(s) * Skimming through questions raised during the presentation and decide which ones to prioritise for the time slotted for Q&A * Preparing a set of summaries for the last 5 minutes of the call, explaining * where attendees can continue with discussions after the virtual session * what attendees can expect in the coming days i.e. - recording of the call will be released, for example, an invitation to collaborate on a post-session blog post or survey, etc * making sure the Code of Conduct is being followed during the online session. The CarpentryCon @ Home Task Force will offer an orientation to regional hosts before the event begins. Sign me up!
