Evaluation of the workshop¶

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

the most important idea coming out of the course
main topic for 1 day workshop
Is the user interface more important than the tool itself?
should we develop our own user interface? (based on hgexplorer)
- study needs and workflows
- tailor for new students, presentations, workshops

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?

should we set up SVN hosting immediately? 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

need for sorting out software, needs, etc—in the community
- start within C4DM
after that, choose tools, etc
- create "tutoring" material
- tailor tools to fit the problems
