Revision as of 00:36, 11 May 2012
I sent out a "big travel document" in March. It has all the information you need re: flights, etc. I will send it again in April or the beginning of May as a reminder.
It will reference this page on the CoolCosmos website. This is where you find the legal things, like the student forms.
High-level schedule
The work days we've agreed upon are Jul 9-12, where there will be minimal help from me on Jul 12 as sort of a "training run" for when you go home.
I propose you come in relatively early on Jul 8, and plan on doing dinner at my house that night.
- Sunday morning/early afternoon - arrive in LA
- Sunday night - pizza party at Luisa's ... pizza arrives at 6. come by 5 or 5:30 if you want to play with Andrew!
- Monday morning 8:30-12? - lectures
- Monday afternoon 1-5 - software setup. WISE archive workthrough. Start to work with mosaics.
- Tuesday all day - hands-on work with computers
- Wednesday morning?? - JPL tour
- Wednesday afternoon - wrapup, plan for when you go home
- Thursday morning - Work on your own or small groups. Try to do some of the tasks we did as a group. Compare notes. Can you work on your own at home without me?
- Thursday afternoon - Reconvene for questions and help.
- Friday - return home
TO BE SCHEDULED - WHEN TO LEARN ABOUT THE LCOGT TELESCOPES.
Software to install
Make sure you (and all your students who are coming) each have a functional laptop that you know how to use with as much of the relevant software installed as possible well before you get on the plane. Trust me. Makes it much easier if you do all this ahead of time, including starting it up to make sure it works.
- ds9
- APT
- a web browser (Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome -- NOT MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER)
- Excel or other spreadsheet program (Google Docs is ok if your school lets you access it; most of the rest of us will be working with various versions of Excel)
Please list your version of Microsoft Office in this table
Name | Microsoft Office version | or Microsoft Excell if you don't have the whole suite | version of Windows on your laptop(s) |
Peggy | 2003, 2007, 2010 (windows) | ||
Jackie | my mac 2008 12.1.7; school's pc 2007; Many students have their own computers so there may be more versions later | ||
Lauren | 2010 (windows on laptop) (2011 at home on mac) | ||
Debbie | 2003, 2010 (preferred version) | ||
Bob | 2007 at work. 2010 at home. | ||
J.D. | |||
Mark | |||
Russ | |||
Babar | |||
Luisa | 2008 on the desktop, 2011 on the laptop (which is what you'll see when i hook it up to the projector). NB: they are both Macs! |
Also make sure you have all the passwords you need for installing new software, getting on a wireless network, or getting back into your machine if it reboots.
Besides the computer, you will need something to write on and something to write with to take notes! Experience has shown that this should be more than post-it notes. I will give you handouts, so the hyperorganized among you may want, e.g., a 3-ring binder.
Flight & student & housing details
Debbie - probably 2 (no driving in LA please)
Jackie - certainly 2, maybe 4 people
Lauren - bringing two (adult) students, one male (bringing spouse), one female - rooms in the Saga - should she bring her van?
Bob - one or 2 (adult) students
Peggy - don't know because switching schools. Probably 3, including one college (will drive in LA but more than happy not to)
JD - (no students)
-> I count ~17 bodies that need to go back and forth from the hotel to campus every day. That probably means 3 vans total. We can certainly pay for 3 vans, but we need 3 drivers of the vans to volunteer... Please list your version of Microsoft Office in this table
