Participants bring own laptop which can run required software. | (none) | Must specify OS, hard drive space, and capabilities (RAM, proc). Other info? |
All software required for the workshop portion must be properly characterized and made available.
| (none) | Q: Will participants have time to install, configure, test and de-bug software? Q: When will they do this, with what support, and still have time to participate in the workshop? Includes dependencies such as operating system (version, bit-level) and required supporting applications (such as Matlab). |
Provision back-up resources to participants' laptops. | Explore ideas, with John Franck, and clarify related procedures to the degree ChemIT is involved or otherwise responsible. Timing matters! | Effort and turn-around time required to provision backups is a concern for a one-day event. Especially to provision "just-in-case" needs. Ideas includeFor now, focus on these ideas:

Workshop software considerations:
Create a timeline so expectations are clear to all involved. When are the software specifications and vetting due, for example? When and how is vetting completed?
- Without an investment in good process, the workshop may not be able to test and distribute working software, much less deal with any last-minute changes.
ChemIT recommends the group creates and maintains a spreadsheet with info such as the ones below. Perhaps shared via Box.com.
List of each application | Owner: Who is requesting it, for which workshop(s) | In addition to John Franck: Who else can de-bug, if not Owner | OS dependencies | Other dependencies | Test file(s) | Notes |

Goal: Find a good location for the presentations and the workshop itself.
Areas of concern and ideas. | ChemIT's role | Notes |
---|---|---|
Electrical power | 1) Ensuring physical access to power plugs. 2) Ensuring sufficient power so circuits are not blown. Low risk of that, using laptop chargers? | |
Networking | If need anything other than wireless, for this one-day workshop, any other option other than using an existing computer lab? |
Ideas on locations.
Presentations vs. Workshop. Should be close to each other. Must have ability to provision food, etc. in or nearby.
- CU Library: Mann Library. Others?
- Stimson Hall (CIT/ ATC)
- CIT Labs: Any appropriate? (ATC)
- Sage Hall (Business school)
- Baker: ?
- PSB: 120, 401. Others?
...
- Clark Hall: 7th floor (700/ 701)
- Clark Hall: Old Physical Sciences Library space
- Weill 226. Others?
- Other buildings?
