First Operations Bootcamp 2020 October 13-15

Operations Boot Camp 1

Slack: #rubinops-bootcamp

October 13-15. 0800 - 1300 PDT

There may be co-work sessions before or after that core time.

Goals

This boot camp serves two main goals 1) to make a brief introduction to Rubin Operations for staff and collaborators who may not be familiar with the current plans for operations and 2) deliver hands on and more detailed information for individuals working on operations activities in 2021. This is to be a workshop format with questions/discussion and hands on sessions. Full Survey Operations is still ~3 years away and many tools and systems are still under construction. 

Attendees

• Folks who will need to onboard to participate in delivering Data Preview Zero (DP0.1)
• People interested in getting oriented with what Rubin Operations is.
