Evaluation of the workshop¶

• programming background very different
• many different research areas (was this good or bad?)
• some "attitude" problems??
• networking was good… but it would be more important if everybody's research topic "presentations" should have been done in the first day
• all the energy and "side" stories compensated for a lack of technical expertise

one day workshops? is it possible?¶

Version Control¶

• the most important ideia coming out of the course
• main topic for 1 day workshop
• Are the user interfaces is more important than the tools itself?
• should we develop our own tool? (based on hgexplorer)
  • study needs and workflows
  • tailor for new students, presentations, workshops

Building the "network"/SoundSoftware Community¶

• organize a workshop every year
  • focused on the software used, not in the research itself
  • share code, practices
• could also be done internally (C4DM)
  • need of bug tracking software
  • wiki to have discussions
• Advantages of this community
  • "Safer space", more confortable to researchers in the area, easier to ask questions than in specialized forums
• Online seminar:
  • weekly? probably too much…
  • Adobe Connect??
• the target community for this project is wider that this workshop's attendees
• FaceBook group has been active
  • is it "open"/public? - it should be public
• SoundSoftware could be an aggregator for audio/music software content (fetch info from blogs, etc)
  • watch certain blogs feeds for tags
• be more social
  • forum?
  • blog links?

Repositories¶

• should we host? Probably not:
  • maybe the people that attended the workshop should talk to their universities systems team
  • talk to the supervisors/ people that attended in order that they act on this

Future of the project¶

• need for sorting out software, needs, etc—in the community
  • start within C4DM
• after that, choose tools, etc
