Discourse #46
Comments
I thought this was something NumFOCUS was working on for all sponsored projects (though haven't checked in on that). Is that still true? |
I don't know, but in either event I wouldn't want to wait for them |
Do you mind checking with NumFOCUS first? It would be a bit silly to setup a second Discourse if one already exists. Not to mention a bit of extra maintenance effort to keep up with. |
Sounds great |
Oh I see, after reading your message again it sounds like you're expecting me to engage with NumFOCUS here. Sure, I'll send an e-mail. |
Thanks Matt 🙂 |
Not much has happened here. I have a waiting community and I think that there is loss in waiting further. I'm inclined to move forward. If someone has bandwidth to push harder on NumFOCUS that would be great, but it doesn't seem like that's the case. |
On the email thread it sounded like they had something, but then the ball was dropped regarding sharing details. I prodded it again. If we don’t hear something by end of week, I’d be fine doing whatever here. |
Looks like Andy responded. I'm not entirely sure how you want this setup. If you could please engage with him, that would be helpful 🙂 |
For others, response from Andy

I'm not sure I understand. I don't want to go through NumFOCUS. I just want to do this myself. I engaged NumFOCUS at your request and it sounds like they're not especially set up and keen to work on this. At this point we're two weeks delayed and so I'm inclined to not lose any more time. If you feel strongly that we should go through NumFOCUS rather than having me do it personally that's ok, but I would prefer it if you would engage directly, rather than have me drive something that I don't actually want to occur. |
Was only interested in making sure we are aligned with larger community efforts. It sounds like this is not relevant. Please proceed however you see fit 🙂 |
OK, we're up here: https://dask.discourse.group/ We may want to seed this with users and categories. I haven't yet given this much thought, but I'll try to think on it in the near future. In the meantime, people might want to check it out and say hi. |
I figure that we phase rolling this out in stages. We probably want to model good behavior before we advertise widely. We probably also want to figure out what good behavior is before we can model it :) |
So I guess now that the Discourse forum exists, what do we make of it?
Personally I would be in favour of 1., 2., 3. soonish and maybe wait a bit to discuss 4. because it feels like a can of worms. I also think I am more likely to answer questions on Discourse than StackOverflow or Gitter, I don't know really why ... Full disclosure : I am in no way an advanced Discourse user, I have mostly used them as weekly automatic email for summary activity and I decide whether I want to read some of the posts (mostly Jupyter and Pangeo). Opinions on this would be more than welcome! Maybe @rabernat and @jhamman can share some insights of running and using the Pangeo Discourse? Maybe some people close to the Jupyter (not sure who to ping at the intersection of Jupyter and Dask maybe @jacobtomlinson?) project can also chime in? |
All of those seem like great ideas @lesteve! 😄 |
@lesteve I think that this whole thing is an experiment. The only wrong answer is for us not to try something :) Probably it will be wrong and we'll do something else afterwards. Broadly, I think that there are three stages to this:
I'm happy to help provide some time on this, but it's probably not a good idea for me to lead it. In general I share your concern that we don't really know what is best here, but I think that that is ok at this stage. We will figure things out I think. |
I am happy to put some time/energy into this Discoures iniative and see what happens. If that qualifies as "leading it" I am fine with that too 😉. So here is what I did:
Maybe if I was given necessary permissions I could try to edit the category description that seems like a templates right now, for example https://dask.discourse.group/t/about-the-delayed-futures-category/22. Or you can do it as well if prefer no worries. |

Done

So here is what I did:
- I answered a few posts that were already there without answers and
pinged a few persons that may be able to help
- I wrote an introduction about myself here
<https://dask.discourse.group/c/introductions/50> and invite others to
do it as well if they wish
- and a few other minor things

I added some minimal content to the Discourse categories description. Maybe people can write a few words about themselves in the "Introductions" category. Here is a pre-filled topic link that should directly allow you to compose your introduction post: (by the way I did not know about link to pre-filled topic in Discourse 5 minutes ago and found the info here, this is quite nice) |
Is the Dask Discourse gone? |
Conversation is now on slack, see #118 |
Maybe it's time to close this issue :) |
I found myself this morning in a call with a surprising number of beamline scientists (15 or so?)
It was a great conversation, and at the end said "how can we communicate together in the future?" The consensus from that meeting was that a Dask Discourse with a beamline tag/group would be useful (they preferred this over other mechanisms, like an e-mail list, slack, or an existing community structure)
This has happened often enough that I'm now somewhat inclined to make such a discourse. This has come up previously and hasn't always been met with full enthusiasm, so I figured I'd make space to discuss this here.
