TODO

In the checklist below, DATE is placeholder for deadline, to be filled in.

• set up zoom registration; add zoom link to Google Invites & Doc
• create page at https://openscapes.org/events
• create draft Google Doc for event
• promo announcement via Slacks, Mastodon, Bluesky
• engage potential participants / stakeholders
• planning meeting with speakers, Andy, Stef, Julie, Alex, Sargent Srhiver1-week prior to event
• Reminders

  • Zoom reminder email to registrants (since they each have unique zoom link; easily lost in earlier email)
• ask speakers about their favorite pump-up song/a song that we'll play at the intro

Updates from email thread:

• Title: What we're learning about Hub Cloud costs for Earth science workflows
• Date: Tuesday, March 25,
• Time: 9:30-10:30 or 10-11, during our normal cloud-infrastructure hackday time
• there is a lot of interest in cloud costs for science workflows and that's what we've been working on, it would feel good to share!
• The 25-min prepared-but-casual conversation could be designed as a fishbowl where Julie facilitates pre-set questions that Andy, Alex/Sarge, and Yuvi/Jenny each respond to for ~5 mins each (slides/demo welcome), and we ask each other a few questions before opening it to audience.
• Alex and Sargent to answer questions about OpenScienceLab on behalf of ASF, and ASF's chief scientist, Franz Meyer to join us if he can.
• for folks not presenting, helping us spread the word and asking questions/discussion during the call would be super
• we can share this info with the ESDSWG community asynchronously via the recording and notes in a short blog post
