Dear all,
regarding the outreach and visibility topic I have one suggestion
concerning the hurdles of getting started with the Einstein Toolkit.
Already two times this year I met people who were rather interested in
the ET but did not know how to get started.
The initial hurdle of starting with the ET could be lowered, if one
offered for example the contact to a "starting buddy" who agrees to
Skype for example 2 times 30 minutes with somebody who wants to get
started and provides appropriate slides/scripts/examples/tasks to kick
off - also, this might take away the fear to contact the community with
further questions. Alternatively, in a lighter and more standardized
version of this, one could offer a monthly Hangout giving a "How to get
started" presentation and leaving room for Q&A. In any case, I would be
on board for any of these points.
For tonight my very best from Valencia

Hi Hevli,
let me add, as an example of NS merger simulations done with the ET, our
(Princeton/Parma/Frankfurt groups) simulations with the WhiskyTHC code, which
includes microphysical nuclear EOS and neutrinos:

Dear all,
let me pick up on our discussion on the visibility of the Einstein Toolkit
within the LIGO/VIRGO Scientific collaboration, our scientific community in
general and the public that we had during the workshop last week.
In the end of the week we are opening our traveling exhibition "Unraveling the dark
universe" and, as probably many of you these days, we will have a number of outreach
talks about gravitational waves. In this context I was looking for animations produced
with the toolkit, in addition to the BBH material that I already had from the SXS
collaboration, to give more credit to it.
I noticed a few things that we could improve
- update the gallery on the website. At the moment the only animation of an
event is that by Barry for GW150914. It would be nice to have more of a
collection for the other events, and in particular for GW170817. As first step
we could collect links to the youtube channels of different groups.
- that brings me to a second suggestion: should we bundle those animations,
e.g., in a ET youtube channel? At the moment, a quick search leads to filmed
talks and lectures (which is important, too, of course), but try the same for
SXS and you'll get a list of animations by the collaboration. A first step to
give more visibility to the toolkit could be to add the logo to the credits.
This is essentially to spark some discussion, and if there is interest, we can
follow up on it in one of the next calls.
cheers,
Helvi
