A project to support exploration and scientific use of the Gaia Data Releases.
2017 July 17 through 21
The 2017 Heidelberg Gaia Sprint will take place from 2017 July 17 to July 21, inclusive, at the Internationales Wissenschaftsforum Heidelberg.
Each day will begin at 08:30 and end before 18:00 Heidelberg time. Each day's detailed schedule will be presented and discussed each morning at 09:00.
Participants should be ready to introduce themselves, their skills, code, and data, and their projects on the first day. There will also be progress reports and discussions throughout the week.
The idea behind the Sprints is to bring together people who have an interest in timely scientific investigation and use of the Gaia Data. These are not traditional scientific meetings; they are intended to facilitate completion of first scientific papers. The Sprints are structured to support collaborative refinement and execution of (fairly) mature scientific ideas. It is hoped that new partnerships will form and lead to co-authored publications for the scientific literature ready or near-ready by the end of each Sprint.
In addition to a general Code of Conduct, we require participants to agree to a Collaboration Policy that ensures transparency and openness at the Sprints:
All participants at every Gaia Sprint will be expected to openly share their ideas, expertise, code, and interim results. Project development will proceed out in the open, among participants and in the world.
Participants will be encouraged to change gears, start new collaborations, and combine projects. Any participant who contributes significantly to a project can expect co-authorship on resulting scientific papers, and any participant who gets signficant contributions to a project is expected to include those contributors as co-authors.
These rules make it inadvisable to bring proprietary data sets or proprietary code to any Sprint, unless the participant bringing such assets has the rights to open them or add collaborators.
