Pangeo happenings at the 2018 AGU Fall Meeting

[jhamman]

Hi everyone, the 2018 AGU Fall Meeting in Washington, D.C. is just a few weeks away. In this issue, I plan to help coordinate some Pangeo community happenings. I'll keep updating these lists as more details become available. Feel free to suggest edits.

Pangeo Workshop / Tutorial

@rabernat and I are hosting a Pangeo tutorial at AGU this year. The full announcement is here: https://medium.com/pangeo/pangeo-agu-workshop-d9565667ad48. Registration fee can be waived if you sign up via this link. Please distribute broadly!

Time: Wednesday, 12 December 8:00 a.m.-12:20 p.m.

Dinner and/or Happy Hour

I'm proposing happy hour and/or dinner on Tuesday December 11, 2018. Exact time and location TBD.

AGU at EarthCube Booth

We are signed up for a few 30 minute demos of Pangeo at the Earth Cube booth. Current times are:

• Tuesday December 11, 2018: 11a
• Thursday December 13, 2018: 2p

Talks and Posters

I spent a few minutes grabbing Pangeo-like talks/posters from the program. It may be worth moving this list to a blog post right before the meeting. Please feel free to comment below if I missed your talk.

[rabernat]

Thanks Joe! This is a great list!

I would slightly favor a get-together on Wednesday, but Tuesday works for me too.

[lheagy]

Hi Pangeo folks - I am helping organize some sessions on open source software with @leouieda, @krischer, @florian-wagner, @jklump and a number of others it the NS community. We would love to see some of the Pangeo community there!

[jhamman]

Thanks @lheagy - these look great.

[NicWayand]

Tuesday and Wednesday evening both work for me for 🍻!

[rsignell-usgs]

I'm placing my vote for Pangeo dinner Tuesday night, as on Wednesday night I'd like to attend (and hopefully present at) Ignite@AGU at Busboys and Poets , co-hosted by NASA’s Applied Sciences Program and ESIP.

[rabernat]

Given @rsignell-usgs's constraints, let's go with Tuesday night for Pangeo get-together.

Any suggestions for a venue?

[rsignell-usgs]

How about we pick one of these?
https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=good+for+groups&find_loc=convention+center%2C+dc&ns=1
I was going to suggest brasserie beck, but someone bought out the whole restaurant for Tuesday night.

[rabernat]

Rich, if you have time, it would be awesome if you would just pick a spot and make a reservation for ~20 people. Joe and I will cover as much of the tab as possible from the Pangeo workshop stipend $ we are getting. Keep in mind that @lheagy's OSS forum is 18:15 - 19:15 on Tuesday, and many of us plan to attend that. So our dinner should be after.

[rsignell-usgs]

The The Capital Burger has been booked for 14 people at 7:45pm on Tuesday under “signell/pangeo”. It’s right across from the Convention Center. I will see if we can add more or get a second table.

Has a decent 4 stars on yelp and noise level is listed as "average".

If you plan to attend, can you just give a thumbs up here?

[rabernat]

Thanks so much for taking this on! Really appreciate your help.

[gidden]

Hi all, hey @jhamman - I inadvertently started a parallel effort on the xarray listserv for happy hour/dinner. I'm suggesting we all coalesce here. Looking forward to seeing some faces I know, as well as new ones!
