Jam Session

The idea is to create some movement, continue to work towards our goals by organizing Jam Sessions: a scheduled event where people could work together toward the same short-term goal, as designing genetic parts, refactoring a software tool or discussing new roadmap features.

Jam Session themes so far

Confirmed

Interlab

Runner

Jeremy Cahill

Description

This channel is for the "interlab" jam session. The interlab session is a generalist, get-stuff-done session meant as a standard time set aside to ensure that there's a time consistently understood as guarded for coworking rather than meetings-proper. That is, this is a consistently available block of time for synchronous coworking on priority tasks like:

• friendzymes grant/proposal writing
• friendzymes labwork, especially that involving coordination between multiple labs
• friendzymes research & development generally — excluding software, which is anticipated to receive its own session.

Additionally, this session is meant to provide ongoing availability for 'hosted' sessions, with the goal of reduced organizing overhead for anyone who would like to run a workshop / jam session / practice talk / etc. on an ad hoc basis. Please just let us know in this channel, #interlab, or let me know via DM, when you would like to use this session for something in particular so we can announce it.

At its start, this session will be tentatively scheduled to run every other week on Tuesday evenings US, eastern timezone. The work session ends at the scheduled start of the Friendzymes Asia/Pacific meet aka Biweekly Meeting B, which currently focuses on labwork at PGC Mindanao.

Tentative

These topics are by informal suggestion of weekly meeting attendees.
They have chat channels but may not materialize as routine sessions.
