Outreach: GO webinars

Suggestion from PIs + follow discussion Kimberly, David, Pascale

  • Monthly
  • Time to be defined
  • One GO user/GO tool developer would present ~30 minutes + some discussion
  • Goal is to be more in touch with our users, perhaps also help drive decisions as we hear more specific use cases

Outreach proposal: reddit

GO-themed "Ask me anything" on Reddit, maybe during the GO meetings when everyone's captive. Similar to these

Proposed aims (David, Kimberly, Pascale):
