Updating the Showcase

This is a little todo-list of how to update the showcase

• create a new entry in the updates/ directory

  • big-update if you go through all labs
  • incremental-update for small changes over multiple labs (commit updates)

• go through the list of labs and compare it with https://c4dt.epfl.ch/laboratory/

  • mark retired professors
  • add new labs

• for every lab, do

  • update the information in [data/labs.yaml]: url, description, contacts
  • if the contact person left the lab, delete it -> the contact entry will point to the professor
  • search for new projects
    • on the lab page
    • on github / source management
  • update the existing projects and test the links
    • update the last commit and the last update entry
    • click on all links (or use https://github.com/linkchecker/linkchecker)
    • make sure the papers point to https://infoscience.epfl.ch, with an additional link to arxiv if the infoscience page doesn't allow downloading the paper as a visitor

• create a PR and ask for comments

• once all labs are updated, for every lab, do

  • write an email to the professor
    • remind them the goals of the Factory and the Showcase
    • add a link to the projects of their lab
    • ask them if it's OK like that or if they want to add/remove/modify any entry
    • remind them that we do
      • maturity evaluation
      • promote projects
      • work on specific projects
    • CC one or two postdocs
    • remind them after a week or so

• think about adding some scripts, e.g.,

  • updating the github last commit and the last_update
  • going through all links and checking there is no 404
