JupyterHub social stuff
I'm being a bit socially starved and would like to have more chat/telephone/video interactions with you! Realizing this I got to thinking about some stuff that we could do
JupyterHub happy hour Just a time to align when to sit at the computer and do open source stuff with each other, where all of us login to Gitter in the JupyterHub channel or similar.
A JupyterHub team chat space We have some gitter chat channels at the moment but they are all public, I think I'd appreciate a place where I'd be able to chat with you without public discussion/Q&A in the same channel.
Calendars where meetings can be scheduled easily I learned that its possible to create calendar events that allow others to schedule a time in them. Here a one that I welcome anyone to use to schedule a chat with me, then we get a video meet link automatically generated etc btw.
Hi
Demo sessions Perhaps we could have a demo session now and then where we informally without fuzz could show something we've been working on. I was very happy to learn about the Jupyter Book project @choldgraf and learn about yuvipanda/hubtraf and Grafana dashboards from @yuvipanda etc, and I just want more of these excellent insights! ;D
Triage sessions I don't like issue triaging much but I think it would feel fun to make a voice call and do it together, helping each other out where its a bit tricky.
I would also love a space for chatter and conversation that was more focused on folks from non-North-American timezones. I feel a bit starved for interaction too, at UTC+0530 - most people I work with are in NA, so I can only talk to them past 10PM my time :'(
hi! 👋
I'd love this and I also happen to be in the same timezone as @consideRatio and would be happy to have some coordinated time together. But I think we can't reasonably "all" do anything synchronous on a regular basis. I think one thing that's hard with a globally distributed team is that synchronous communication always excludes people. But we still want to be connected! For example, there are no times during a normal work week that I can have synchronous communication with California. With my partial parental leave, I am trying to have a pretty strict work schedule of 9-15 CEST, which is 00-06 in CA. Not the best time over there! I have to rearrange things every time I sync with the US.
Maybe we could arrange a few slots of "office hours" that work for different combinations of folks, where people who are available at that time can make a point of connecting?
We also had planned a JupyterHub team event colocated with JupyterCon when that was going to be at a time and place. Maybe we should still do something like that, but with more decentralized time windows?
Could do a weekly (or more frequent) coffee hour, rotating through different times?
PANGEO has coffee meetings every other day I think https://pangeo.io/meeting-notes.html

I'm only 1 hour behind you so happy to join too :-)
I would be slightly wary about too frequent coffee hours. Only because I already have one daily coffee with Kirstie and co and two daily coffees with my team at the Turing. I don't wanna get sick of y'all 😅 Seriously though, it's a lovely idea.
Asynchronously, what do folks feel about a 'social' channel? Like '#random' in slack, so not focused on any one topic. Equivalent to running into people at places...
I just created https://gitter.im/jupyterhub/random for off-topic, social conversations. Please follow the Jupyter Code of Conduct!
Let's mark this issue as resolved for now, the random chatroom was a great addition!
