[Psidev-qc-dev] upcoming PSI2020 all-virtual conference - QC track

[Walzer <wa...@eb...>]

Hi there, mzQC enthusiasts!

For the structure of our upcoming all-virtual PSI2020 conference QC 
track, we have for each of the 3 (.5) days an early slot of 3h starting

PDT 	GMT 	CET 	SAST
8:00 	15:00 	16:00 	17:00

and a late slot of 3h starting.

PDT 	GMT 	CET 	SAST
12:00 	19:00 	20:00 	21:00

The first day's first slot is cut-short half an hour for the 
introductory plenary session.

On our putative agenda 
(https://github.com/HUPO-PSI/mzQC/blob/master/meeting_notes/PSI2020-QC_Agenda.md), 
we have some items which are dependent on others, and others that can be 
tackled in parallel. From the proposed agenda linked above I tried to 
pry apart those items and assemble them into series of events as 
following. (Same as main agenda, but some more details.)

As a general way of things, I think it would be best, if we'd meet up at 
the beginning of each session all together for a flexible 5-10 minutes. 
There, overview the upcoming tasks and then break-out early, to regroup 
for the last 10 minutes for a wrap-up. Our slack channel will have the 
current links to the break-out places (either directly as a slack thread 
or preferably meets/hangouts link).

Since it is a *purely virtual conference* (allows for more flexible 
schedules in the best case) and we might have quite different timezone 
constellations in the break-outs as in the general group, I thought it a 
good idea to assemble a poll who in which timezone would like to 
participate in which break-out group. *Please log-on to our slack 
workspace and fill the poll until Saturday latest. Multiple choice, if 
several time directions befit you, please select them.* I will then try 
to suggest custom break-outs. In cases where the poll should reveal this 
as not-so-ideal, we have the above suggested schedule as fallback 
option. First day should be aligned the overall schedule (see slack 
lobby pinned item) with in any case. I will keep an up-to-date schedule 
in our slack channel.

If you think there are items missing in the agenda, please let me know 
by the end of Friday, and I'll try to fit them into the schedule and the 
poll.

take care,

   mths
