PTP/workshops/PTP Workshop 2014

PTP Workshop and Hackathon

Agenda etc. to be constructed here - all of this is tentative at this time.

Steve will post a doodle poll to query preferences on dates - tentatively two days in the second or third weeks of August

Funding

There may be travel funding support if you are not a part of the Si2 project.

Post link to NCSA wiki page with this information

Logistics

(Need to re-verify all this for date change - remove this caveat if it's confirmed, Steve)

The venue will be CCT's new building, the Digital Media Center (http://laetc.com/louisiana-digital-media-center/). I can work on the exact room.

Hotel space is available at Lod Cook (.8 miles away, http://www.thecookhotel.com/), or the Comfort Suites at 3045 Valley Creek Dr, Baton Rouge, LA (2.2 miles). Comfort suites has a fridge and other amenities, and has more places to go within walking distance. I can shuttle people by car if necessary.

Topics

These topics haven't been assigned a slot in the agenda below but i don't want to lose the ideas:

• Git/Gerrit, how to set up, create a bug, submit a patch via Gerrit, review via Gerrit, update patch, commit patch and see it in the build - do this early in the hackathon. Document PTP recommended procedures in wiki.
• Gather PTP best practices, hints and tips, all the neat little things we always discover about doing things in Eclipse when we watch each other in the development process.
