Meeting 2020-02-24

Present: Graeme Stewart, Danika Macdonnell, Kilian Lieret, Martino, Matt Bellis, Samuel Meehan, Sudhir Malik, Erik Bray, Adam Parker

Registration and agenda is in good shape
- Open registration on Friday
- Tuesday (absolute beginners) is an optional day: unix + python
- Drop in session to fix people’s environments if they aren’t there on Tuesday
Experiment Contacts: CMS - David; ATLAS - Adam; LHCb - Graeme; ALICE - Graeme
Posters are ready (see meeting agenda - make sure you get the one with “Registration Opens 28 Feb” at the bottom
- At CERN B32, B2, B1, Library, R1 and B40 are covered
Call for helpers - to HSF this week (but quite a few people said yes already). Around 50 attendees; need around 1 helper / 10 people
Discussion with Martino and Erik: Previous carpentry was a bit too basic for some participants:
- Erik has some extended numpy tutorial
- Martino will prepare something on scikit-learn (some hours to whole afternoon)
- Cover also testing
- Perhaps go a little bit faster with git, but don’t spend whole day on it because it’s not that interesting (?)
Todo:
- Preparing survey - Cloned the previous pre workshop survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1adlSwbWHAH7tmXG_TA8pCztqDPpAG8l8uWPHtKILsvk/edit?usp=sharing. Make any changes you feel.
- Visitor passes : Adam can get these for the two instructors
- Sticky notes : Already have a stack of sticky notes (Adam)

Github organization to host our modules: github.com/hsf-training: So far used by pyhep people, we want to have access to it to and settle for a naming scheme to distinguish our carpentry-style modules from trainings of other formats.
Should think more about recognition of helpers and tutors: Include them on front page of indico of the event. Also: Nice to keep lists of possible tutors of the next events

22 June - 1 July 2020 at LAPP (Annecy) https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/20306/
Will concentrate on code basics, data science and machine learning - Pythonic focus
- coding environment and good code practices
- version control and collaborative development
- Python packaging
- scientific libraries for data science and analysis and machine learning
- domain specific sessions
Will be advertised to HEP students, but then need:
- Uproot+AwkwardArray tutor
- Help with machine learning for HEP (tutors, helpers?)
General question about the best way to involve people in events like this? Just use the list?
- Sam has a few lists of people who helped / were trained that might be willing to help in the future
  - We should advertise the training group to them
- Keep a directory of people, location, teaching interests

Parallel session (90minutes) for Training WG (Wednesday PM). Need to think about what we want to do there: Talks/Speakers/Discussions/…
Going through blueprint results + discussion -> O(1h)
Springboard off the Blueprint meeting, what modules do we need for HEP?
Sudhir won’t be there: Kilian/Sam?
Should aim for involvement of locals to get a community in Sweden (ask LOC?)

There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
