CommunityData:Meetup October 2022

We're meeting in Seattle on October 14 - 15!

We'll be taking group notes at in a shared Etherpad for the event. You can see the pad we created last time for an idea of what this might look like.

The /Pre-meetup todo list is now available!

COVID-19 note

Please note that this event will adhere to all applicable COVID-19 policies and guidelines of the State of Washington and the University of Washington, including the UW COVID-19 case response guidance. Some highlights and particulars:

• We ask that you perform (at least) a rapid antigen test prior to beginning your participation in group meetup activities. The hosts (UW folks) will help ensure there is an ample supply of rapid antigen tests available in the CDSC lab space as of Thursday to make this easy. If you determine that a PCR test is preferable for any reason, we don't have those in the lab, but they are available in the area.
• The University recommends wearing a high-quality mask inside UW facilities where they aren’t otherwise required.
• Been exposed? Tested positive recently? Not sure how to handle it? Please follow this COVID-19 public health flowchart from the UW Environmental Health and Safety team that offers pretty comprehensive coverage of many scenarios.
• If you have symptoms associated with COVID-19, please follow the corresponding UW guidance.
• If you need help identifying/paying for a space to isolate or quarantine in the context of the group meetup activities, faculty in the group are prepared to help out with this (at minimum, financially if needed).

  • I'm flying in early Tuesday* morning. I have lodging plans, but will be a bit far from UW, so I'm happy to join in on group accommodations if my marginal impact is low (i.e. if I can join in without requiring an additional room to be booked, and mainly just make things easier/cheaper and not harder/more expensive). Otherwise, I'll figure things out on my own!
