| Review Action Items | Dale + group | Many action items that originated in the DM group have piled up here System Operations and Management SIG Meetings and Notes and on the subsequent pages. |
| WolfCon agenda proposals | Dale + group | WolfCon is coming up in Texas, College Station (the main campus of Texas A&M University), from Jan 22-24, 2020 ! Who will be able to attend from this group ? What session do we want to have there ? What should be on the agenda ? Who should meet (group only, group + developers, group + POs etc.) ? Who will be the moderator ? What equipment is needed ? These questions shall be answered along with the same questions for the main SysOps SIG. See the recent protocol here: 2019-11-08 - System Operations and Management SIG Agenda and Notes . Also, can we get an estimate about the number of people who will attend including the main group (we had a small audience on Friday) ? Proposed session should be submitted by this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zIfnRNE_mbMRcLR0op-deYPlLmojr8ji7DpzI4f9p6s/viewform?edit_requested=true A draft agenda will be out by Nov 18th. |
Notes
Nice example of organizing topics for WolfCon (RM SIG):

We've started our own planning sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F8b55pg_NRKE3LY5n9-ggI24LPQBwZF82_a1SuUtFyQ/edit#gid=0
Discussed how best to use our time at WolfCon, suggestions for session topics & what benefits from meeting face-to-face:
workflow session w/structured data
show and tell - data loading...possible approach:
demo from Chicago direct DB
demo from Texas A&M using API
timings, workarounds, handling problems
Issues we've run into that others may see as well
recommendations for loading data (e.g. order of data users...permissions...)
session on bulk loading
there may be a lot of questions about bulk loading modules in January. Can we ask devs. to attend this session?
the community really needs documentation. Having some documentation created would be a good outcome of our time at WolfCon
sessions recorded & transformed into a workbook/documentation (one possible approach)
the topic of data management...backups...data restores came up...who has done this?
Ebsco with Amazon RDS?
Five colleges could be an interesting session. They are planning to run systems concurrently.
Deadline for session submissions is 11/18
We'll continue this discussion during the next meeting & possibly have a group discussion with sysops
