Guides

This page is an index of the growing set of guides behind the operations of the research group. It is intended to be a living document capturing the overviews and checklists for mastering the practical, administrative, and computational infrastructure that ARFC relies on for various common tasks. All research group members should contribute to this section early and often. If possible, link to GitHub repositories, gists, or Jupyter notebooks when there is a guide item that can be captured in one.

Getting Started

You’re new to the research group. There are a lot of tasks to get done before you can really fly.

  • Handle HR stuff.
  • Get a GitHub account
  • Add yourself to the communication channels.
  • If you have an office, work with TP and the School of NSE office to get a key.
  • Activate your OSU and COE computer accounts, and begin using your official OSU email address. Get a Zotero account. Join the ARFC Zotero group.
  • Request licenses for export controlled software. (Ask Katy if any are needed for your project.)
  • Read the Code of Conduct.
  • Download Katy Huff's book. Browse it now and use it as a reference when you are lost.
  • Install a text editor of your choosing. (e.g. vim, emacs, atom, or xo).
  • Install git.
  • Configure git. Install the Zotero desktop application. Learn how to use Zotero. Learn how to access articles through the university library. Add yourself to this website. Email Katy your: GitHub username (Katy will add you to the ARFC github organization.) Email address(es) to invite to the group: Google Drive directory. Box Directory Email List Slack Register for classes. Explore Chambana.

Dealing with TP

Here are some ways to interact with me that will make my life (and sometimes yours) easier.

  • Scheduling to meet with TP
  • Requesting a recommendation letter
  • Requesting comments on a document
  • Requesting help with software
  • Asking TP to be on your PhD committee

Communication

We communicate through many channels. Use the communication guide to understand and be prepared to make use of the various meetings, listhosts, chat media, calendars, twitter accounts, and whatnot that tie us together.
