05 Call Digest [ 2022-noaa-afsc ]

[jules32]

Hi @Openscapes/2022-noaa-afsc-team,

Thanks for a great fifth (final!) session this past Friday. We talked about everyones' pathways forward and plans for more open and inclusive data science in their teams. Thank you all for sharing your progress with the group. We are so impressed with how much you all have learned through this cohort! Thanks also for sharing about your needs and ideas for AFSC leadership. Openscapes would also love your feedback so we can improve future cohorts; please fill out this survey by March 22. 

We hope you can carry the inspiration forward with our rockin' Openscapes Spotify Playlist. 

We look forward to watching you advance on your journeys! It was great to 'meet' many of you through this cohort and we look forward to when we can take this virtual collaboration to being in person. If you can make it, please join us for a ~3 month check up on May 27 at 12:00 pm PT so we can see what everyone is up to. We'll send a calendar invite :)

Below is a light digest of Call 05.

A few lines from shared notes in the Agenda doc:

One thing from Openscapes you've learned/are implementing and how will it help your work? Why is it important?

• importance of sharing imperfect work, planning for continuity, and making code transparent so that other people can identify issues!

• onboarding set-up; organization-GitHub, openscapes mindset; setting up for "future selves"

• All three of our groups seem to have found the Pathways document to be helpful to our projects; still have a ways to go on filling them out; The project organization/management capabilities of Github are new resources that have a lot of potential for helping all three groups.

• Group discussed how it is encouraging to see many different groups wanting and using these tools at the center and maybe some rapid progress can be made if we all know how to use these things

Upon completing Openscapes, how do you feel about your needs and how you are supported to meet those needs? 

• How do we keep the across-AFSC sharing going? I've spent more time with and learning from [ my team ] in the last 2 months than the last 4 years thanks to this forum. This center-wide community is so important.

• Need to hear from leadership what their views on open data science are and how they plan to support staff to learn about all these tools and maintain this into the future+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1

• It's hard to keep space for improving the workflows, process. I worry about defaulting back to the old way of doing things+1 +1+1+1

One more thing - please have someone from each team please email/direct message me a physical address where we can send stickers via postal service! We'll ask that you distribute them within your team 📮
