19 Apr 2021 15:00 GMT, 10:00 EST Present: Kate, Angeline, Alexa, Mack, Melissa, and John
Mack and Angeline pulled together a pull request that contains the internal resources from the original ELSP repository and the governing documents in markdown. Mack needs to re-review and Kate's initial review is outstanding.
Since our roll out, we've had decent engagement with the community. Currently we have 14 people volunteered to review, a community member who provided suggestions to improve our visibility, and we received an invitation to present our project to the AGU Nomination Task Force (NTF).
-
https://github.com/EquitableLettersSP/ELSP/issues/28 contains suggestions for improving ELSP's visibility.
- Melissa, Angeline, Mack, and John added links to the ELSP webpage at appropriate locations.
- Alexa was tasked with adding links on the GEM page and AGU, but missed the email. She's on it now, focusing on AGU.
- Mack volunteered to talk to GEM about adding a page of community resources with a link to ELSP.
- Angeline started an overleaf document for giving advice on writing a good recommendation letter, and created an archiving repository for it under the ELSP organization umbrella. All discussed the best way forward for this paper, and created a framework for the text.
- Angeline added a links wiki page to archive the different sites that mention ELSP.
- Angeline submitted the Helio2050 abstract for ELSP written by Alexa. We need to start putting together a poster and a white
paper.
- Alexa brought up that white papers are about the future, and ELSP is in the present.
- Angeline suggested that we dream big and put in where we want ELSP to be, instead of where we currently are. For example, we don't include letters for a non-binary person or examples of ableist stereotypes.
- Mack mentioned that non-binary letters can throw people for a loop and would be an excellent addition to our examples. He volunteered to write a bad example.
- John mentioned that titles can be a bit silly, and wouldn't it be better to do away with them in life and formal writing. Angeline agreed, but then we all discussed different times when it was fun or useful to have a 'Dr.' title.
- Angeline attended an NTF meeting and presented ELSP. She received positive feedback, which included several suggestions that
she recorded as issues in the appropriate repository. These include a suggestion to develop a training session for
reviewers. This was also asked for by one of the new reviewers, so seems like a good idea.
- Since Mack had volunteered to write a bad letter, Angeline suggested that everyone else review the letter and keep track of their process. Then we can use our reviews to write a good letter and reviewer training.
- The NTF would like to be invited to our reviewer training session.
- We agreed that we shouldn't go live until we have held reviewer training.
- Angeline added emojis to the start of each sample letter, so that they can be more easily identified as good or bad examples.
- Angeline mentioned that she had talked with Mack about presenting ELSP at CEDAR. This will probably be possible as a quick ~5 min presentation.
- John volunteered to look into appropriate sessions for presenting ELSP at NAM.
- Angeline - arrange next meeting, write up minutes, provide GitHub support, start ELSP poster, start ELSP white paper, add to Letter article, review PRs when tagged.
- Alexa - Contact AGU about adding a link to ELSP, add to Letter article, review PRs when tagged.
- Kate - Add to Letter article and review PRs when tagged.
- Mack - Draft a bad recommendation letter for a non-binary person, add to Letter article, and review PRs when tagged.
- Mel - Review https://github.com/EquitableLettersSP/ELSP/pull/34, address Issue #30.
- John - Look into a NAM presentation, add to Letter article, and review PRs when tagged.
