Frequently Asked Questions
What topics does the outreach call cover?
We try to cover any and all topics related to working with your community - whether this might be bringing in
new
contributors, preprints and open science, training your community members, addressing diversity and
inclusivity,
managing social media streams, interesting upcoming events, etc. We generally have 1-2 guest speakers per
call.
What sort of audience attends this call?
Our call audience is generally between 10 and 30 people, a mixture of InterMine users, curators, students,
invited
speakers, developers, and sometimes also attendees from outside the InterMine community who are interested in
the call
topics. We avoid any overly techie themes in these calls, as backgrounds vary.
Do I have to be in Cambridge?
No, all our calls are conducted remotely, generally via Zoom. Joining links are always announced on the call
