Add blog post on SC19 events #113

Description

Adds a blog post with information on SC19 RSE events.

Motivation and Context

There have been several questions about SC, so we wanted to gather all the information in one location.

Checklist:

I have posted the link for the PR in the usrse slack (#website) to ask for reviewers
I have previewed changes locally
I have updated the CHANGELOG and (if necessary) the README.md

I'm assuming that new blog entries are not intended to have changelog entries - if not let.me know.

 Finally, we're also planning to arrange an informal RSE gathering (or more than one?) during the conference - details are TBA.  We hope to see you there!

If you take a look at the preview: https://265-120906408-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/usrse.github.io/2019-10-04-SC19/index.html

I want to suggest (so the spacing is cleaner) to have each of the bullets in the format:

Type: Date Link to long and undetermined length title!

That way, there is some consistent lining up of the elements - right now since the title is second (and date at the end) my eyes are jumping and rolling around a bit.

vsoch · 2019-10-04T20:59:35Z

Also, instead of having a small header per entry, why not have sub headings? E.g., instead of:

Panel: Developing and Managing Research Software in Universities and National Labs, Tuesday, Nov. 19
BOF: Software Engineering and Reuse in Modeling, Simulation, and Data Analytics for Science and Engineering, Wednesday, Nov. 20
Panel: Sustainability of HPC Research Computing: Fostering Career Paths for Facilitators, Research Software Engineers, and Gateway Creators, Thursday, Nov. 21

Do like

Panels

Tuesday, Nov. 19: Developing and Managing Research Software in Universities and National Labs
Thursday, Nov 21: Sustainability of HPC Research Computing: Fostering Career Paths for Facilitators, Research Software Engineers, and Gateway Creators

Birds of a Feature

Wednesday, Nov. 20: Software Engineering and Reuse in Modeling, Simulation, and Data Analytics for Science and Engineering

And you could do italic or bold, depending on your preference! It's a little cleaner to look at, and easier to digest (because there is a lot of content on that page!)

Would be great to put the date before the link and title, and organize BOF/Panel/Tutorial (and other) via subheaders instead.

cferenba · 2019-10-04T21:17:33Z

I like your idea of moving the dates first - will do.

I'm hesitant to do subheaders in the way you suggest, for a couple of reasons: it loses chronological order, and it overshadows my grouping of directly-RSE vs. of-interest-to-RSE events. But how about something like this:

Research Software Engineering sessions

Tuesday, Nov. 19: Panel, Developing and Managing Research Software in Universities and National Labs

[ etc. ]

Other sessions of interest to RSEs

Sunday, Nov. 17: Tutorial, Floating-Point Analysis and Reproducibility Tools for Scientific Software

[ etc. ]

danielskatz · 2019-10-04T21:20:32Z

I also think having this by date is more important than by type of event

vsoch · 2019-10-04T21:22:19Z

I think you could still do it by date, and then by type of event. Imagine that someone is opening up their phone to check the page - they would first want to see quickly the date (the top heading) but then they would want it to be cleanly grouped by the type of event (at least I would). I see no reason we can't take advantage of the ability to have multiple levels of headers, and support both of these needs!

cferenba · 2019-10-04T21:39:50Z

There are few enough events on each individual day that I don't think two levels of sorting would add much value. But adding a section for each date should be fine.

vsoch · 2019-10-04T21:41:17Z

Hmm good point! For the order of bullets then, maybe sort by type, or in chronological order?

cferenba · 2019-10-04T21:43:38Z

So what I'm thinking is, sections for directly-RSE events vs. related events; subsections by date; then bullets sorted in chronological order within each subsection, with the event type in italic or bold. How does that sound?

vsoch · 2019-10-04T21:45:56Z

That sounds 👌

Oh wow this looks so much better! https://266-120906408-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/usrse.github.io/2019-10-04-SC19/index.html

Let me go through and check all the links, then I should be good to approve.

cferenba · 2019-10-04T22:30:20Z

Oops, the indentation didn't come out right for the date headers. Will fix...

vsoch · 2019-10-04T22:33:03Z

okay, so some questions:

I think the link to "Developing and Managing Research Software in Universities and National Labs" might be wrong - it goes to a session page with a different title.
I just noticed the indentation too :)
" Getting Scientific Software Installed" links to the other one I think!


        Fix indentation for date headers

cferenba · 2019-10-04T22:36:20Z

Good catch on the mixed-up links. This would be so much easier if the links actually included the words from the title. 🙁

vsoch · 2019-10-04T22:38:46Z

@cferenba it's done robot style! The web robots can just read the titles from the cached pages in the browser - us lowly humans have to actually navigate to visually see them.

I can't remember - are we requiring 1 or 2 approvals for blog posts?

vsoch · 2019-10-04T22:49:22Z

We could probably do 1, but since @danielskatz already has commented let's wait for him to look it over again (and give approval). We want to make sure his concerns are fully addressed so we don't have to do another PR!

cferenba · 2019-10-04T22:49:53Z

Sounds good.
