Opportunities to represent Astropy at AAS 239
Lia Corrales
Dear all, the Astropy Project is preparing for AAS 239 (Salt Lake City, Jan 9-13)! We are looking for:
(1) Astropy Workshop Facilitators - if you would like to be an instructor for a portion of the Astropy Workshop content, please respond to this message. We welcome modifications or additions to the current content, or you can lead it as-is. Some funding is available to support you attending the conference in order to lead the workshop, but we can’t guarantee it for a large number of people. Please indicate whether or not you will need Astropy support to participate. Note that the workshops take place 1-2 days before the main conference.
(2) Astropy Booth Coordinator - In the past, the Astropy Project has sponsored a booth in the AAS Exhibit Hall, highlighting Astropy, Astropy affiliated, and NumFocus sponsored projects. We are looking for someone to be the on-site booth lead. This includes managing the booth schedule and staffing, booth set-up, and clean up. The past lead (Lia, @eblur) will assist in this process and provide template flyer and poster materials. The booth lead will have their registration covered. Please indicate whether travel support is needed, as well.
Please email, DM in Slack, or reply to this thread if you are interested!
