| 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:

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
