earthaccess Hackdays: Starting February 6!

[asteiker]

The NASA Openscapes Mentors are kicking off a series of bi-weekly Hackdays beginning next Tuesday, February 6th from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM MST (6:00-8:00 PM UTC) focused on earthaccess development. We aim to foster new contributions through small group work aligning around specific topics or features.

Please post in this thread if you are interested in joining, and we will extend an invitation!

NASA Openscapes mentors have permissions to extend invitations using the calendar.google.com interface.

Do you have suggestions on topics or areas of work for these upcoming Hackdays?

• What Issues are you interested in contributing to?
• What features should we be prioritizing?
• For our library maintainers, would it be helpful for me to set up a Roadmap view of our project that we can utilize for new and existing feature work?

@asteiker Please add me to the invite list for these. Also, was the time being moved to 12pm MST or not?

[asteiker]

@JessicaS11 Great! You should have just received an invite. We are sticking with 11-1 MST - I hope that works for you!

[JessicaS11]

It does!

[jhkennedy]

@asteiker me as well! I'll try and join for at least the second half, once I'm out of my 11:00-12:00 MST meeting.

[asteiker]

Great! You should have just received an invite. Glad you're able to join the second half!

[Rapsodia86]

Hi @asteiker! I am also interested!

[Rapsodia86]

@asteiker Oh no. I just checked my calendar and have another workshop on the 6th. Sorry! So, I would like to join the next one then!:)

[asteiker]

@Rapsodia86 No worries! I invited you to the 6th before I saw this, but I also invited you to the following hackday on Feb 20. Looking forward to meeting you!

[Rapsodia86]

Great! Got the invite and accepted for the 20th!
Thanks:)

[betolink]

Can we include @jpswinski?

[asteiker]

I added him to the hackday series last week! Let me know if you don't see it in your calendar, @jpswinski.

[asteiker]

We look forward to our next hackday tomorrow! Please note that the time is shifted ahead one hour to accommodate the Openscapes Community Call:

Tuesday, February 20th from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM MST (7:00-9:00 PM UTC)

Last hackday we formed breakout groups around topics including end-user documentation, test environment support, and s3 access checks. Do you have other topics, Issues, or feature ideas you'd like to work on? Let us know!

Notes from 2024-02-20

[chuckwondo]

I'm interested in these hackdays. How do I join in? I'm interested in working on #120 to begin with, but open to other things as well.

[stefaniebutland]

@chuckwondo come on over to zoom. Here for next 1.5 hrs.
Would you like a calendar invite for biweeklies? Always welcome; no obligation

[mfisher87]

Was great to have you join us today! :)

[chuckwondo]

Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I look forward joining next time!

[mfisher87]

come on over to zoom

@stefaniebutland @chuckwondo Looking from the outside, how did Chuck get the zoom info in the end? I don't see it in this discussion.

I'd like to update the top-level post to have a bolded call-to-action that explains exactly how to request to join and what to expect in response :)

[stefaniebutland]

how did Chuck get the zoom info

I pasted the zoom link, then deleted it once Chuck joined since we don't want open zoom links for recurring use being public.

exactly how to request to join and what to expect in response

🤔 If people get added to the Google Cal invite, that has zoom link and link to the notes doc. We set that Cal invite so guests can add others and I think that has worked for @asteiker. Can you try to add @doug-newman-nasa that way? The idea is to enable any NASA Openscapes Mentor to add someone, rather than having only 2 gatekeepers.

The idea is to enable any NASA Openscapes Mentor to add someone, rather than having only 2 gatekeepers.

I now know how to do this, I already had permissions and used the calendar.google.com interface to edit the meeting. I don't know much about how Google Calendar permissions work, but if I can do it other mentors should have permissions too, so just give it a shot and I think it will "just work"! 🚀

I updated the OP!

[mfisher87]

@stefaniebutland can you invite @doug-newman-nasa?

[doug-newman-nasa]

Yes, please!

[stefaniebutland]

invited you just now @doug-newman-nasa. Sorry for my delay!

[mfisher87]

Sorry folks, that was totally on me. Stef asked me to test in the thread above and I never even responded, despite intending to 😆

Thanks for getting the important work done 🙇

👋 I added you to the meeting. Can you let me know if you get an invite? Google Calendar took a weirdly long time to save the change.

[Mikejmnez]

Hello everybody! I recently learned about this am interested in joining on some of the hackdays! I am interested in cloud access to EarthData, with a particular scientific interest but not limited to the oceans. I have not yet browsed through all the issues and discussions, but looking forward to learn more about this project and the ways I can contribute. Email is [email protected]

[mfisher87]

Invite sent! I'm just on my way out to a dentist appointment, so I won't be able to help if that didn't work. Not sure who will be there, so blasting everyone I can think of in 1 second :) cc @asteiker @stefaniebutland @betolink

[mfisher87]

Context I left out: we have a hack day starting in 20 minutes :)

[stefaniebutland]

Amy and I will be there! Join us at any upcoming earthaccess hackday, every 2 weeks! No obligation, but great way to get oriented among a kind group of people

[Mikejmnez]

Got it, thanks! :) -- I won't be able to join likely until June, but I will be looking forward for these!
