Resources/Instructions

Zoom link for Thursday meetings

2021-11-18

Ask Ryan/Sophia about tasks like data cleaning, researching, and info gathering. Are these more suited for data scientists or data analysts.
Discuss 311-data with Ryan/Sophia. Once it is cleaned, where is it stored? Is it possible to give HfLA members access to query it directly?
Update from Rajinder on web scraping project

2021-12-02

Review In Progress items and have people provide updates in issue.
Review with team size labels and ask assignees to provide estimates during meeting. [List here] (https://github.com/hackforla/data-science/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22size%3A+missing%22), also review closed issues like 134.
Get status on LAANE Data Cleaning and Analysis #36 (Karina)
Give Henry an update from Dan Kegel (if we have heard back from him. If not, Bonnie will write back to Dan)
- Bonnie follow up with Dan on 12/2

2021-12-09

Review items In Progress
Ask Karina to move files for 311 (Bonnie has more info on this)
What type of access do we need for 311 data for certain projects (see CoP: Data Science: Identify overall trends in DUI arrests by council region #109 and COVID 19 impact project #110)? One-time dump, subset of data, online access, etc?

2021-12-16

Review items In Progress
Does anyone need to move files?
Review all alternatives in Create a logo for the Data Science CoP #140 and see if we can use any of these now or make minor tweaks suggested in Henry's comments.

add talking about this to the agenda. Its from Mike https://github.com/researchsherpa/graffiti-viz

I tried to update the agenda with ChatGPT and Claude, but neither could access the comment content of the issues with their connectors. I'm upset about it. It was working last week. It says now:
|
What’s missing / why

The issue comment sections often aren’t exposed to web search indexing (GitHub sometimes hides or doesn’t index full comment threads).

The specific lines you wanted (last two comments with blockers & ETA) were not accessible publicly in the crawled content.

Some links (e.g. ai-skills-assessor #3, #152) did not surface in search results that show comment context.

I just had surgery and am feeling sick, I will be able to do the meeting checking everybody's issues. Unfortunately the agenda isn't updated.

@sandy3w

the AISA team needs another meeting with Bonnie to get next steps/tasks. I'll schedule one with Bonnie for this week.

@sandy3w
@sauravchangde
@naveen3par
@ashhik96
@mru-hub
@Gvelis10
@xuyeluo

were in attendance and gave great updates.

from the old agenda, we have lots of things hung up on people who no longer attend...something to address.

Unfortunately there must have been a change to the ChatGPT connector (and Claude, so Github did it) to Github. GPT said:

"GitHub access is working for the repo, but the connector doesn’t expose per-issue comments directly."

When I tried to update the agenda as a web scrape via GPT it said:

"I retried via web (no connector) and pulled what GitHub would serve publicly. GitHub’s issue pages load most timeline items via client-side JS, so full comment text isn’t accessible to scraping without being signed in. I still captured any visible status/labels and updated entries accordingly; where the last-month comments were not exposed, I preserved your original notes and marked them as “no public comment content retrievable.”" no comments were found at all.

I don't know what their concern was to un-expose the comments (maybe these spammy hawkers/solicitors ruined it by posting ads with GPT on publlic issues, we've seen it before) but the agendas can no longer be updated automatically. Rather than spend an hour going through every issue and then going through it again during the CoP meeting, I'm going to ask Bonnie if I can do the agenda a different way.

I wrote myself a small agenda which I will post after I fill it out with people's updates. This seems to me to be the better way rather than posting the agenda before the meeting and not knowing what happened.

@naveen3par

Here is the results of my issue review and the updates from the DS CoP meeting:

#198 : max1million101 : I unassigned him we haven’t heard from this guy in a long time.
#155 : nehathombare : didn’t attend
#145 : xuyeluo : is doing great work next is a chapter on strings
#154 : akiokaki : asked for update, can’t attend
#153 : chinaexpert1 : Closed the issue this was moved to an Epic with sub-issues
#157 : lindaworksondata : asked for update
She has done a good job with comments, a readme, and more conceptual discussion in the google doc. So I assigned @naveen3par to review
#218 : sauravchangde : didn’t attend, but we are at a dead end finding the data if he comes back I’ll give him a new issue.
#228 : ashhik96 : has a good dashboard building up, showing for instance that females are underrepresented in his sample. I told him to develop the hypotheses and do more exploration in preparation of a report that will be presented to the CoP and then, after feedback, turned into a GitHub action to keep tabs on these facts
#177 : mru-hub : asked for update, she has done the script, basically finished the issue.
#135 : venkata-sai-swathi and ayushpatel1501 : asked for update
#130 : parcheesime : had an emergency at home will update next week
#146: parcheesime : we still need the link to the repo to initiate transfer
#118 : parcheesime : asked for update
#45 : assigned myself to prepare for another volunteer
#44 : Adaakal : Bonnie answered her questions, she needs to chunk the request to observe API limits, it also needs to be moved out of the 311 repo into its own appropriately titled repo, she will do that, after all that this will become a GitHub action.
#107 : ssejal : asked for update, didn’t attend
#223 : chinaexpert1 : I need a reviewer, haven’t assigned yet
#179 : I asked for the files from pranjaliseth , didn’t attend
#71 :Gvelis10 : created a document to track her work and you are adding graphs to it. She met with Bonnie in a breakout room.
#152 : naveen3par : Bonnie saw they updated their website of climate projects. Now Naveen has to write a formula to make the last commit column filterable, so we can get closer to creating a dashboard to help people find active climate projects.
