[16:20:10] dsaez, isaacj: I left some questions for you at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Technology/Annual_Plans/FY2019/TEC9:_Address_Knowledge_Gaps/Goals . Please review and respond. :) [16:21:13] got it [16:23:32] leila: sounds good - Q2 is the one to pay attention to? [16:23:51] no, Q3 [16:23:55] isaacj: ^ [16:24:32] leila: gotcha, thanks [16:47:11] isaacj: am I the only who can't ssh to stat1007? [16:47:32] leila: possibly, i'm using it at the moment [16:47:44] hmm. too bad. ;) [16:48:12] I'm hammering stat1007 but I've got the processes on low priority so they shouldn't limit anything else on the machine. [16:48:30] halfak: you should be fine. I basically can't get in. ;) [16:49:24] yeah, and i left and rejoined with no issue [16:49:36] leila, unrelated, I have a tentative confirmation from Martina Balestra to talk at the research showcase on Jan. 19th (Dario reached out to me to fill the slot) [16:49:48] isaacj: ok. thanks for checking. [16:50:01] Shall I move the line in the spreadsheet or should I let y'all do that? [16:50:10] halfak: sounds good. by when can you confirm? [16:50:37] halfak: and what will be the topic, roughly? (If I can, I will find a related topic for the second time-slot) [16:50:40] I have confirmation in an email, but I don't trust that until we have a title and abstract ;) [16:50:49] ow ok. :d [16:50:58] I can move it. [16:52:16] It's Newcomer Motivation dynamics with a quanty/systems theory approach. It's not exactly related to the cross lingual stuff, but MBalestra is someone we're way overdue to invite. [16:53:42] halfak: ok. which day have you confirmed? [16:53:51] halfak: the 16th? [16:54:50] The 19th [16:54:56] That's what Dario told me [16:55:13] I see now that that is a Saturday [16:55:14] lol [16:55:22] lol [16:55:29] I'll go double check on the 16th :) [16:55:41] halfak: now that you haven't confirmed [16:56:01] halfak: can you do 23rd? [16:56:10] OK I'll ask for that :) [16:56:59] halfak: thanks. let me know what the result is. 15th is ICWSM deadline and I think if we do it one week later I can ask Ramtin to come and talk about eliciting new editor interests model which is thematically related to the other presentation, at least a bit. ;) [16:57:33] Will Brent still be in town on the 23rd? [16:58:22] leila, ^ [16:58:48] halfak: I don't know. [16:59:02] OK maybe Dario really meant it when he said the 19th? [16:59:05] halfak: but ICWSM is a good argument. :D push it to 23rd if you can. [16:59:11] nonono [16:59:18] Either way, could you confirm with DarTar and let me know? [16:59:32] halfak: yup. [16:59:37] Cool :) [16:59:47] * halfak goes to marathon 3 hour meeting. [16:59:50] :( [17:04:34] halfak: apparently Dario has already asked Brent for the 16th. He will come to IRC in some minutes and talk with you. [17:04:46] cool [17:04:52] halfak: I'll let the two of you handle this. It's too much for me to catch up with a moving train. ;) [17:05:02] No worries. Thanks for your help :) [17:05:07] yup. :) [17:24:02] leila,halfak: sorry for the snafu with the showcase calendar, I really don’t want you guys to show up on a Saturday [17:24:21] lolol [17:24:25] the date is the usual, 3rd Wed of the month aka Jan 16, per https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19TprppMIY35XfYYvUxmPTOSlWE3_SvshkknR0BAryeo/edit#gid=0 [17:24:27] So what is the real date? [17:24:31] kk [17:24:53] I asked Brent about his students’ availability for that date as a second slot [17:25:12] if the date doesn’t work for either presenter we should cancel the showcase or move it [17:25:55] Checking if it works for Martina now :) [17:27:03] Confirmed! That was fast [17:27:11] We have Martina at least. [17:34:42] DarTar: if Brent's student can't make it let me know and I'll check with Ramtin re eliciting new editor interests. [17:35:05] DarTar: the 16th is one day after ICWSM deadline so there will be madness until the 15th for Ramtin, but I can always ask him. [17:35:37] leila: ah good point [17:36:12] halfak: \o/ could you also ask her if the week after could work as a backup plan just in case? [17:36:20] haven’t heard back from Brent yet
