Welcome to the Cluster-Challenge wiki!

Aim for final digital asset - a clonable repo of how-to documents, ideally with method for building a workshop website etc. (adapt from Carpentries templates if possible)

Thoughts on what might also go in here, with links from report:

General

• Images/logos

Careers showcase day

Key features to make it a success:

• List of attendees - summary with institutions represented
• Comms methods/audiences targeted - email, Twitter, website, DiRAC, course directors, ARC associate directors, student weekly comms, etc.
• Roles/facilitation of online event
• Agenda
• List of speakers and why they were chosen
• Slido polls run during workshop
• Questions asked by attendees in Slido
• Feedback form questions and feedback from attendees
• Links to Zoom recordings (hosted on UCL Mediacentral as they're too large to upload directly here) and slides
• Slack channel/Eventbrite/ARC web page URLs
• Issues and lessons learned

Key features to make it a success:

• Timing of event (end of term/after summer exams)
• Attendee list/teams (summary by institution)
• Attendee sign-up questions - prior experience
• Reading list/ recommended training resources
• Cluster challenge format - see Jamie's README.md (2 days, part teaching, part hands-on challenge), design of challenges to suit different levels of prior experience, size and make-up of teams, number of helpers needed
• Comms to attendees
• Cluster - nodes/node types on Myriad, reservation and queue setup etc
• Online/hybrid - equipment/setup needed
• Swag we ordered!
• Catering costs/vouchers for food
• Feedback form questions and attendee feedback, especially on how prepared they felt for the event, and whether they enjoyed it!
• Issues/lessons learned/other things to consider if (when) we do it again...
