Quarterly Workflow Tidying

[stefaniebutland]

A 2.5-hr time slot to focus on things we let might let slide when we're busy focusing on project-level work. Open to anyone.

Maybe treat it like coworking, where each person says what they want to tidy.

Things we can tidy

• delete repos used for testing; consider archiving inactive repos like 2023-agu-planning
• triage issues: close things that are resolved; add labels
• create reusable alt text resources: have one location for images we use > twice; keep images and alt text in same place; gather existing alt txt and write for others
  • logos, flywheel, editorial image, cloud cookbook
• reflect on things in your workflows that feel clunky; choose one and take first step
• triage/ archive Slack channels - past champions cohorts, inactive channels

Great to do some tidying together last week! Moving this now to Backlog

[jules32]

For October, we will focus on Agenda and Approach Guide updates, following first NMFS Champions Cohort Calls. Gathering ideas:

Call 1 agenda

• Update Welcome - Mindset; see Cohort C - @jules32
• review timing and update in kyber?

Series

• add MML slides to Champions Series as “core” slides - @stefaniebutland
• emphasize that these open science mindsets apply no matter what your work is (does not have to be data-intensive or science; they apply to contracts and budgets teams too!) -@jules32

kyber - other

• update repo readme text to underscore series more - @jules32 (noted in Update README.Rmd template  kyber#116 (comment))

Zoom

• Stef + Julie can't open meetings at the same time - what!?
• admin followup from call 1
• check polling

To discuss/action

• cross-org Mentors seaside chats

Hi @stefaniebutland , I added a calendar time for Dec 16 (we can shift to other times that week) for more Champions/kyber followup.

We can list TODO items here, along with kyber issues.

• add as inclusion tip, revisit where the full list is: https://diversity.tufts.edu/resources/interrupting-bias-calling-out-vs-calling-in/
• I loved this talk! A quick note, can we use a term besides “man hours”? Lots of non-men are doing this work 🙂
• updates from Call 5 Pathways intro & next steps
• add updated slides to series?
