Hosting our weekly meeting

Open afshin opened this issue 2 years ago • 35 comments

Original issue

I have been hosting our weekly calls – with some helpful substitutions – for a long time as the default host.

Let's come up with a plan where multiple people host. I'm happy to be one of a group of hosts.

@andrii-i has been documenting a guide for hosting, and I'm happy to meet with anyone who is interested in being a host. As a starting point, I would suggest every member of the @jupyterlab/jupyterlab-council consider it, but this also seems like a good way for someone who isn't yet on the council to get involved with the project.

I'm interested in co-hosting a weekly call, perhaps in a rotation. (I have access to the shared Zoom and Gmail accounts, and I've hosted calls before.)

Here's JupyterLab weekly call hosting guide draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18-9HQVu9MvL1l98B37VX-UMF6cEb-GW-5KqbEb-8SBs/edit?usp=sharing. Comments and feedback are welcomed. When done, the guide can be published as a new issue.

One issue we need to align on is how to provide access to Project Jupyter Zoom account for hosts. Based on discussion with @blink1073 last week, there is no apparent way to safely provide access to credentials to everyone/anyone but it's possible to do it for a defined group of people. I think it makes sense to restrict this group to JupyterLab council members and consider co-hosting for everyone else.

And I'm also interested in (co-)hosting a weekly call.

andrii-i avatar Jun 08 '23 00:06 andrii-i

I can help with hosting, for now as a fallback and then on schedule from Q3.

I held back from a long time volunteering to host because I wanted to allow space for other people to step forward. But the call for new hosts has been out for a long time now, and it seems there is a real need for more hosts, so please feel free to add me as a volunteer host! :)

gabalafou avatar Jun 14 '23 16:06 gabalafou

You should be able to log into Zoom now:

  • [x] @JasonWeill (already had access)
  • [x] @andrii-i (emailed an invitation)
  • [x] @krassowski (already had access)
  • [x] @gabalafou (emailed an invitation)

I updated the top-level comment of this issue and will pin it on the issues page. It has a list of upcoming meetings and I have made myself the backup host for all of them so that they are not left un-hosted but once a volunteer steps up, I may remove myself to allow someone else to be the backup.

I can host on June 28; updated the top comment.

JasonWeill avatar Jun 21 '23 16:06 JasonWeill

You can put me down for the following two dates:

  • 2023 08 09
  • 2023 08 23

Unfortunately, my office situation makes it difficult for me to host in July.

gabalafou avatar Jun 26 '23 09:06 gabalafou

I can host on July 19, updated the top comment accordingly

andrii-i avatar Jun 26 '23 17:06 andrii-i

Added @tonyfast as host for July 5, by his request on the call today

JasonWeill avatar Jun 28 '23 20:06 JasonWeill

do i need credentials to host the meeting?

tonyfast avatar Jun 28 '23 22:06 tonyfast

The creds are in the 1Password; if you don't have 1Password access, someone who does have access might be able to log in and pass you the host privilege

JasonWeill avatar Jun 28 '23 22:06 JasonWeill

I signed up to host next week, July 26.

Hi folks, I'm signed up to host tomorrow and two weeks after, but I think I need to back out. I recently relocated to Athens, and I'm discovering that connectivity is a bit trickier here. I have discovered that my apartment's Internet connection is not reliably fast enough; after working from home for a week, I have frequently experienced choppiness and lag in my Zoom and Google Meet calls. I recently joined a co-working space, but it closes at 7 PM Athens time, which is when the JupyterLab team call starts. I really don't want to host the call unless I have a top notch connection in a quiet space, and it's taking too much effort for me to find that in Athens, given the combination of factors that need to align.

gabalafou avatar Aug 08 '23 11:08 gabalafou

Removed @gabalafou from the table for tomorrow and two weeks after.

andrii-i avatar Aug 08 '23 14:08 andrii-i

Thanks, @andrii-i.

Are we sure we have someone to host tomorrow's call?

gabalafou avatar Aug 08 '23 14:08 gabalafou
