For an agenda I would like to follow up on some things we discussed last time. I wrote the meeting minutes on this wiki page https://github.com/NAU-CS/NAU-CS.github.io/wiki/24-Aug-2018 -- I also added the "best practices for organizing a departmental colloquium" that I got from a phone call with Jim Swift who organizes the long-running NAU maths/stats colloquium.

  1. Overleaf revolution -- please file a ticket with ITS service now and ask them to buy a site license for Overleaf, so each of us do not have to individually buy a personal license. I have already filed a ticket here https://nau.service-now.com/sp/?id=ticket&table=incident&sys_id=1de07873db78a344d19d71fa8c9619b2 but I think it is not publicly accessible.

  2. Possibility of hosting conferences at NAU -- I created a wiki page where you can post your ideas. https://github.com/NAU-CS/NAU-CS.github.io/wiki/conference-organization I suggested the useR conference which has a call for proposals to host in 2020 (but it is 1000 people so too big for Flagstaff, maybe we could do PHX or LV?), and Machine Learning Summer School which we could probably do in Flagstaff.

  • Talk to James. Paul? probably a lot more complicated to do a conf outside of Flag. Also having the conf elsewhere misses the point -- we want to alert people to our school.
  • Collaborate with Jay?
  • how to get people to flag? charter buses from phx and lv?
  • 240 people conf CIE organized by Eck. intl eng education.
  • photos of flag.
  • weekend trip before conf. sedona, lowell, grand canyon.

  1. Last time we talked about the possibility of doing tutorials that may be of interest to the CS group https://github.com/NAU-CS/NAU-CS.github.io/wiki/Tutorials

  2. I created a NAU CS organization on github and I invited all the faculty that I could find with a simple search -- if I missed you and you would like to join, please email me your github user name. https://github.com/NAU-CS -- Logo? Not SICCS -- that is regulated by the university. Yes logo for CS & SE. Maybe something more catchy than CS & SE. CSI bloody bits logo

  • student competition prize, ipad, book, conference ticket, ask Paul, ask Eck. Morgan will take the lead.
  1. Discussion about github wiki / do we want a seminar web page like the math/stats colloquium? http://naumathstat.github.io/seminars/
