Astromon: 1. Omie's presentation of the development of the progression puzzles!(I would like to see somthing about Lfp6's ideas from last years eternacon he really pushed for a diferent Eterna setup of puzzles and he is a very important part in this I think) [12:06 AM]

Astromon: idea 2. [12:07 AM]
Astromon: A puzzle made by Hogla or someone made for "group solving as a race" for fun somehow ideas are welcomed to make this happen, redspah said something of a split sceen that could make this possible. [12:08 AM]
Astromon: 3.I propose jenifer pearl does a presentation about D3_paT/remmy/sara and all the success she has had with her program developments. its a game changer and has made winning designs!!! 100%'s!!! [12:09 AM]
Astromon: 4.Another idea i have been thinking about is to ask NANdo if he can do a presentaion about how he became a developer with re-coding the flash work ect.. and the abilaty to asert his ideas into the eterna comunity/ and also talk about scripting developments he and others (Jen pearl, Lfp6 ) are involved with . I think scripting and tools are a very important part of eterna especialy now. [12:10 AM]
Astromon: 5. A presentation by a developer about the new Microscope! [12:11 AM]

Jennifer Pearl: lets wait til caleb is caught up [12:21 AM]
Astromon: its labs pretty much Master [12:21 AM]
Astromon: sure thing<> [12:22 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: I am thinking that we should have catagories of presentations to ensurte that we dont have too much of one kind and not enough of another [12:22 AM]
calebgeniesse: i like that [12:22 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: I want to make sure we cover as much ground as possible without missing to much stuff [12:23 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: @caleb what do you think of the list of ideas so far [12:23 AM]
calebgeniesse: also, i think bekeep and I could put something together re: puzzle progression, and omei can present on the new data browser (his baby!) [12:23 AM]
Astromon: oH okaY [12:23 AM]
calebgeniesse: otherwise, the list is great! [12:23 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: cool [12:24 AM]
calebgeniesse: i think it would be really cool to have Nando talk about how he got involved as a dev [12:24 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: thanks astro for your haed work putting it together [12:24 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: hard [12:24 AM]
Astromon: your welcome! [12:24 AM]

Astromon: Ill revise it for future document [12:25 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: there are ceratinly many things taht have changed since eternacon [12:25 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: I think we should have a Eterna devolpments group, eterna science group, player science, nad tools/scripting group [12:26 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: and tool/scripting [12:27 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: any more that im missing [12:27 AM]
calebgeniesse: exactly [12:27 AM]
calebgeniesse: was about to say the same [12:27 AM]
calebgeniesse: excited about your talk, @Jennifer Pearl [12:27 AM]
calebgeniesse: would that fall under tools/scripting then? [12:27 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: yesish [12:28 AM]
joy45: what is the distinction between eterna science and player science? [12:28 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: eterna science would be things Eterna (devs) are doing in teh science realm like teh microscope Rhiju built [12:28 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: player science would be player papers and recent advances [12:29 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: by players [12:29 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: kinda like Eli [12:29 AM]
joy45: Got it. [12:29 AM]
calebgeniesse: assuming the eterna developments and science groups will include presentations by devs, how do we want to organize the player science and tools/scripting groups then? [12:29 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: Eli's and ,ine observation about static stems in teh FMN lab [12:29 AM]
joy45: Thanks [12:29 AM]
calebgeniesse: should we have people submit an "abstract" and then have everyone vote? or do we want to just stick with nominating/inviting people? [12:30 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: those would be presentations by the players themselves unless they are not available and then if the devs think it is importatnt then have a dev present it or something [12:30 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: good question caleb [12:31 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: im curious what you think. I naturally want to make everything a democracy... [12:32 AM]
calebgeniesse: of forsure, me too! [12:32 AM]
Astromon: me 3<<! [12:32 AM]
calebgeniesse: my only concerns with a democratic system would be the technicalities (e.g. who will organize this, setting up a system for voting) [12:33 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: :-) [12:33 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: agreed [12:33 AM]
calebgeniesse: hmm, i wonder if we could use the player proposed labs/voting system as a starting point [12:34 AM]
Astromon: hmmM [12:34 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: that would be neet [12:34 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: I knwo that you can set up a google form [12:34 AM]
Astromon: yeaH [12:34 AM]
calebgeniesse: oh nvm [12:34 AM]
calebgeniesse: thats way easier hahahaha [12:35 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: that was what was done to help pick the data for last years eternacon [12:35 AM]
calebgeniesse: lets forsure use a google form then [12:35 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: ok [12:35 AM]
calebgeniesse: doing something through the site wouldn't be trivial [12:35 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: How about we put together a list adn submit that and ask people for adittional people. What do you think or it that stacking the deck to much? [12:36 AM]
Astromon: easy is good!! [12:35 AM]
calebgeniesse: should we award a badge for giving a talk? [12:35 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: I think just for being there [12:36 AM]
joy45: How many sessions/talks can reasonably be scheduled? [12:36 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: not everyone will get teh oportunity to speak [12:36 AM]
joy45: Badges are good! [12:36 AM]
calebgeniesse: maybe just ask for nominations (self-nominations allowed and encouraged) [12:36 AM]
Astromon: yes a cool badge! indeed good idea [12:36 AM]
calebgeniesse: good point [12:36 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: maybe a different color [12:37 AM]
Astromon: good question Joy [12:37 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: if we really want ot go with a special badge thing [12:37 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: @Joy not sure yet how many. once we have a good list of people and we know how long everyting will take we can schedule [12:38 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: but figure 8-5 and 1 hour per presentation [12:38 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: maybe 30 min to 1.5 hoursih [12:38 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: hoursish [12:38 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: minus 1 hour for lunch [12:39 AM]
calebgeniesse: we could also have short and long presentations... sign up for either 15-25 min talk or 45-75 min... something like that [12:39 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: i like that [12:39 AM]
Astromon: yeah some presentations need an hour maybe some would not [12:39 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: we could get more small thing in if people have things they want to present [12:40 AM]
calebgeniesse: i just wouldnt' want 1hour to scare some people away [12:40 AM]
calebgeniesse: it scares me... [12:40 AM]
Astromon: haha [12:40 AM]
calebgeniesse: just kidding, but depending on what the talk is about, i think the time needed may vary [12:40 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: true...I forse DPAT and SARA taking an hour at least [12:40 AM]
calebgeniesse: thats totally fine too! [12:41 AM]
Astromon: you will be great caleb its interesting about the progression puzzles indeed! [12:41 AM]
calebgeniesse: we don't want to limit too much either [12:41 AM]
joy45: I agree, timing should fit the talk. [12:41 AM]
Astromon: all the stuff listed so far i think merits an hour imo [12:42 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: we have 2 days of talks so we can fit a few things in [12:42 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: @astro definitly I think [12:42 AM]
calebgeniesse: i agree [12:42 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: oh oh oh [12:42 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: i have an idea [12:42 AM]
calebgeniesse: whats that [12:42 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: what if we use teh hastag thing to help us [12:43 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: for the short talks we can see if people would lliek to talk about their use with hashtags adn what the data has shown using them [12:43 AM]
Astromon: yeah what progress they have made using hashtags [12:43 AM]
Astromon: good idea jen [12:44 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: like if someone is using a hashtag and that tyoe of experiment gets 70's vrs 30's of a simialar designs but tweaked [12:44 AM]
calebgeniesse: great idea! [12:44 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: that would give us some short 15-30 min talks about things people are trying [12:44 AM]
calebgeniesse: so like a group talk or discussion, or one talk per hashtag [12:44 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: maybe a hashtag session [12:44 AM]
Astromon: oH nice thinking [12:44 AM]
calebgeniesse: good idea! [12:45 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: im thinking a hybrid of group and individual [12:45 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: each person woudl talk about their thing and then have a grpoup discussion at endish? [12:46 AM]
Astromon: sounds good [12:46 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: not totally set on the last idea but I like everyone being able to give a talk but then also having group time [12:47 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: we could break it into structural stuff and sequence stuff [12:48 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: so primary structure adn secondary structure [12:48 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: since kinda different things [12:49 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: or is that too much seperation... maybe cause confusion [12:49 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: what do you guys think? [12:50 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: what do you think Joy? [12:50 AM]
Astromon: sounds good [12:51 AM]
Astromon: primary is state 1 and secondary is state 2? [12:51 AM]
joy45: I think that having the primary and secondary structure stuff intermixed can work. [12:51 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: primary is the actual sequence adn seconday is the structure you see in the eterna UI [12:52 AM]
joy45: OOPs. I was thinking primary was sequence and secondary was 3D structure, [12:52 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: you are correct joy [12:52 AM]
Astromon: oH i c [12:52 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: secondary is written out in dot bracket notation [12:53 AM]
Astromon: and letters? [12:53 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: letters is teh primary [12:53 AM]
Astromon: GUAC [12:53 AM]
calebgeniesse: secondary is 2D [12:53 AM]
Astromon: oH [12:53 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: that is gthe primary structure [12:53 AM]
calebgeniesse: "tertiary" is 3D [12:53 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: thanks Caleb ... oh [12:53 AM]
calebgeniesse: :) [12:53 AM]
Astromon: yeaH 2d oh that will work in the data browser [12:53 AM]
joy45: Same as for protein - almost. [12:53 AM]
calebgeniesse: exaclty [12:54 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: I think we shoudl leave the primary adn secondary in teh same things actually and just see where it takes teh group[ [12:55 AM]
Astromon: this is eternacon meeting and class! :) [12:54 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: :-) [12:55 AM]
Astromon: that might be best jen<> [12:55 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: i think i was trying to give to much structure to this [12:56 AM]
Astromon: if separating them helps people understand things better though that would be good [12:57 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: I will take all teh ideas that Astro listed adn what has been discussed today and I will assign it to one of the groups and we can see where we are next week [12:57 AM]
Jennifer Pearl: unless astro would like to do it for me... ;-) [12:57 AM]
