As much as we had fun preparing our Center of Open Neuroscience: DataLad, ReproNim, et al. booth, experience with the conference platform quickly showed its shortcomings: poster sessions seemed to be limited to "open a PDF, find the presenter somewhere in an old fashioned chat and 'converse' there". It is not even 2010 -- it is more of 2000. There were discussions about
establishing some gather.town
room for poster presentations etc.
Since there is a spreadsheet with all the posters, and unique IDs for each one (but unfortunately without PDF URLs to be added to git-annex/DataLad), we decided to (ab)use Jitsi to provide each poster with a dedicated video room.
Jitsi is your free and open source Zoom, Google Meet, whatnot... But it is more than that -- it is a decentralized, and IIRC end-to-end encrypted video conferencing system. I believe it is used by the gather.town
that many of you got to love. Discover more on wikipedia:Jitsi.
This "website" is a crude lobotomization of what the basic DataLad datasets navigator datalad create-sibling --with-ui
creates for you; https://datasets.datalad.org is one of such websites.
Also, if you check the git history, you will see that we have used datalad run to annotate how posters.json
was produced. So you can use datalad rerun _produce_posters.json
(where _produce_posters.json
is just a git tag) to regenerate posters.json
using either a modified script or the original .tsv
.
Go to our website: https://datalad-datasets.github.io/ohbm2020-posters/ & wait for the page to load.

Remark: Unfortunately, the "source" spreadsheet neither had presentation dates/times, nor URLs to PDFs. So we might improve upon that (send a PR if you see how).
