Levi Waldron (17:08:45): > Couple possible topics I can see to discuss here:

Levi Waldron (17:09:41): > 1) sharing materials, resources, experiences on what makes for good / not so good meetups

Levi Waldron (17:14:15): > 2) are organizers looking for some kind of “official” recognition or mention onbioconductor.org? Boston and NYC meetups are so far community efforts without any central organization or recognition, but it could be discussed.

Davide Risso (17:19:31): > I think that what@Leonardo Collado Torresis alluding to is also worth discussing, i.e. Interactions with R meetup groups

Davide Risso (17:20:35): > Especially in places where there are already well attended / established R meetups

Davide Risso (17:26:04): > Also, from what I could sense, it’s not so much that people want official recognition (although that might be a nice incentive), but seek “permission” to use the Bioconductor brand / logo

Davide Risso (17:26:46): > (that is of course based on my N=1 dataset)

Levi Waldron (17:31:24): > http://bioconductor.org/about/logo/

Levi Waldron (17:33:23): > (no permission is needed provided several conditions - that it is used in reference to Bioconductor, does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Bioconductor and is not disparaging to Bioconductor, is used in its original color scheme and format and not stretched, cropped or distorted, and links where possible tobioconductor.org)

Levi Waldron (17:34:18): > sponsorship / endorsement would be different, we don’t really have precedent for that

Martin Morgan (18:32:40): > @Martin Morgan has joined the channel

Martin Morgan (18:36:42): > The ‘technical advisory board’ has an opportunity to discuss this later this week; in the past there has been minor concern about the ‘brand’ being used in a way that doesn’t reflect well on the project. I’m more of the opinion that, worst case, there is no such thing as bad press but actually almost always the press is good.

Martin Morgan (18:39:44): > It would be natural to update the ‘Events’ at the bottom ofhttps://bioconductor.orgwith meet-ups etc; maybe this would be facilitated by a meetup group or other mostly-automated approach. Also the Bioconductor twitter feed could be employed programmatically or at least as a best practice.

Stephanie Hicks (12:35:49): > I’m going through the process right now of starting an RLadies meet up group. Happy to answer questions if it’s helpful

Aedin Culhane (12:36:42): > Thanks Stephaine, do you think its useful to have a “starter-kit”. Do you like this model. What should a Bioconductor starter kit contain ?

Aedin Culhane (12:39:18): > Should the meetup groups use a “modified” Bioc logo.. (similar to R ladies)…

Marcel Ramos Pérez (12:59:02): > Please seehttps://www.bioconductor.org/about/logo/

Stephanie Hicks (14:43:01): > I thought the starter-kit was extremely helpful and I like the model. It made the process very streamlined. I know the meetup R-Ladies accounts are sponsored by an R-Consortium grant. There is a R-Ladies slack group for all organizers (or co-organizers) of the various chapters. Great place to discuss ideas for events. There is a #new_chapters channel for everyone to request a meetup account.

Martin Morgan (19:28:43): > We did have a bit of a discussion about the use of the Bioconductor name and logo, and revised the statement athttps://bioconductor.org/about/logo/to request that groups ask permission (which will usually be granted) before use. We also discussed things to be done to facilitate meetups and similar activities, and hopefully have some progress to report in the not too distant future.

Aedin Culhane (16:48:56): > Thanks@Stephanie Hicks. I think its useful to have a “go-to” point for organizing the meetups. Partly because of the cost-structure of meetups. Once membership is over 150 (which it is for our meetup in Boston and for Levi’s in NY) then you have to upgrade the membership. The upgraded membership allows one to run 3 groups. So we are paying for 6 meetup groups, but currently only running 2. At the board meeting, we also discussion the R-Consortium or a central funding model. Perhaps we can organize a blue jeans call, to work out the good/bad/unnecessary of the starter-kit so we can adapt for bioc@Levi Waldron@Vince Carey

Heather Turner (03:09:55): > :books:The R Contribution Working Group are organizing a book club for existing/aspiring R contributors that want to learn C or refresh their basic C programming skills. Aside from base R, it will also be relevant to people wanting to contribute to older packages that use R’s C interface, which includes several Bioconductor packages (C++ is generally recommended for new packages and this club will not cover that). > > It will run from May to August and our main reading will beModern Cby Jens Gustedt. All readings and exercises can be accessed for free. See the book club repo for full details:https://github.com/r-devel/c-book-club/.

Konstantinos Geles (Constantinos Yeles) (04:00:28) (in thread): > Hello@Heather TurnerI would like to ask you how many contributors are already in the group? > Do you think that the meetings are going to take place during CET or CST working hours?

Heather Turner (05:16:36) (in thread): > Hard to say exactly - 14 people have responded to the poll about meeting times so far, but 27 have joined the book club channel on the R Contributors Slack. The times in the poll are 10:30 - 15:00 CET; 16:00-17:00 CET; 21:00-22:00 CET, so mostly in CET working hours, but we will go with the majority. As it says on the repo, we plan to record meetings and share on the R Contributors Slack for people that can’t make it. If there is no good time (say less than 50% of poll respondents can attend the meeting), we may switch to an asynchronous format or possibly alternate between two times - it depends on the poll results.

Heather Turner (05:21:47) (in thread): > Sorry times above are CEST.
