How many people/WGs can we reasonably support (and ensure a good cross-section of opinions and views)? If the work is going to be quantitative and we are going to have people experiment as they go through the discussions (e.g. querying the opsimDB to look at the distribution of observations in the galactic plane) it will require one or two people skilled in opsim/maf per WG. There are about 8-10 people with these skills available which means we are close to our limit of WGs.\r\n\r\nPurely in terms of support, one person in a group should be able to help 3-4 people (i.e. to show how to run a query or just run it for them). This would limits our WGs to 8 or less people or a total of 40 people at the workshop. Are people comfortable with that number?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/LSSTScienceCollaborations/ObservingStrategy/issues/comments/76763612","html_url":"https://github.com/LSSTScienceCollaborations/ObservingStrategy/issues/6#issuecomment-76763612","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/LSSTScienceCollaborations/ObservingStrategy/issues/6","id":76763612,"user":{"login":"ivezic","id":1117211,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1117211?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic","html_url":"https://github.com/ivezic","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ivezic/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-02T18:00:16Z","updated_at":"2015-03-02T18:00:16Z","body":"On Mar 2, 2015, at 9:50 AM, Andrew Connolly <notifications@github.com> wrote:\n> I dont think we should have two tracks - I didnt see a proposal for a two\n> track set up in the notes that were sent round.\n\nThe two tracks idea was proposed at the last PST meeting after a short discussion.\nIt was meant to mitigate the problem of having people with clear science ideas but\nbeing unable or unwilling to code up their MAF implementation. \n\nGiven what Phil and Andy said, I have no problem with backpedalling on this \ntwo-track idea and instead having well-mixed groups per Phil�s proposal. In other\nwords, it�s precisely up to this SOC to optimize this workshop. Great discussions\nand progress so far! \n\n      Cheers, Zeljko \n "}}
