Title

We want YOU to organize a OceanHackWeek! (If you'd like)

Summary

If you've wondered what goes into organizing and running a hack week/hackathon/workshop, join us as we formalize some notes from previous OceanHackWeeks into checklists and notes for OHW23 and beyond, ask us questions about our experiences, and gain experience to run your own OceanHackWeek satellite in the great Ocean Hack Week constellation!

Personnel

Joseph Gum - potential lead, secretary

Specific tasks

Convert notes and feedback to github issues:

• Assembling a committee to organize an event
• Introductions
• Project planning and proposal
• Tutorials - planning, meta support

Data sets and infrastructure support

We'll make a set of github issues that can be copied and pasted for others to use for their own events. Markdown files that allow people to read the structure. Possibly a csv and use of https://github.com/gavinr/github-csv-tools to quickly import github issues.

The problem

We want to make it easier for people (including ourselves) to plan future hack weeks/workshops, and by taking time during the event to formalize our notes we will do so.

Existing methods

Panic and throw everything together at the last minute (months)

Proposed methods/tools

A public, forkable github repository to quickly setup an event organizing repository.

I love this and it reminds me of the way that the Carpentries have set up a nice set of resources for hosting and running your own Carpentry Workshop, including checklists and a website template

Great minds @sophieclayton :D I just posted this #31 that @ocefpaf and I discussed over the weekend that seems similar to what you have in mind?
