developer to present in February. <br>
<br>
We did not get anywhere as far as we wanted in Andrew's tutorial,<br>
which was not Andrew's fault. So we want to make sure that at least a<br>
subset of our audience is familiar with the GNU Parallel basics. <br>
<br>
My goal is to have at least five (and preferably 10) people who are<br>
willing to commit to being prepared for the presentation. I<br>
arbitrarily define this to mean:<br>
<br>
- Watching the playlist here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpaiGYxkSuQ&list=PL284C9FF2488BC6D1" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpaiGYxkSuQ&list=PL284C9FF2488BC6D1</a><br>
- Trying at least three invocations of GNU parallel on their own<br>
computers<br>
- Will attend the February meeting either virtually or in-person.<br>
<br>
If you are willing to commit to this (and will keep that commitment)<br>
please let me know either on the list or offline.<br>
<br>
The goal here is to increase the likelihood that Ole will have an<br>
informed audience for his talk so that he will feel the experience was<br>
worthwhile for him. I want all of our presenters to have worthwhile<br>
experiences, but (a) Ole has requested that we be prepared, and (b) he<br>
will be presenting to us from many timezones away, so it is a big ask<br>
for him to speak.<br>
