No problem. I found a pricing model for private repos online: https://github.com/pricing  First 5 repositories are $7 per month. Repos can be pretty expansive, containing entire projects on them, so you could have one for notes/forms/documents all together with folders for organizing. Smasher has nearly 40,000 lines of code in it, and the repo is not nearly full -- they can hold a lot. I think there is a limit per transfer but all of our tree biomass as a csv did not bust it and I think that is at least 6 digits of rows.

If there's a general interest, I'm happy to host a short webinar using a slide deck I have left over from ESIP to walk you through it as a group, or just to help you one on one over the phone or with something like codeshare.io. You can call me anytime (reasonable hours, though, I like sleeping) or email me and we can probably get you up and going in an hour or less.

One tool that helped me get going is : http://onlywei.github.io/explain-git-with-d3/#commit. I'd suggest to do the exercises for each command and look at the picture it makes, and mess with it to try to make it make a bunch of crazy things (i.e. commit something 20 times in a row, etc.). Each exercise if you do it verbatim takes maybe a minute to do and there's 12 of them, plus 3 challenges that take maybe 2-5 minutes each to do. I.e. you can do it over lunch. :). There's also a "free area" where you can play with visualizing all different commands and workflows and see what happens.

This sounds like a good way of sharing documents, specially those that are not public yet or will never be. I want to explore more about this. Although I've actually use it with the deims group, I don't fully understand it's "mechanics".

Thanks.

Hi Eda (and others),

My notes (although not yet from the final day) are located in our LTER GitHub Organization Repository, here: https://github.com/lter/LTERIM. It would be super if more people contributed!

I have not yet finished my updates/responding to emails as I was taking the labor day weekend off :), but it's on the queue to get out tomorrow morning.

To contribute your notes you need to set up as a free user on GitHub, but if you want to simply view the notes or other parts of any repository, you can see them on GitHub.com -- they will render in your browser. As a GitHub user, you can fork the repository (basically make a tracking copy on your local computer) and contribute your own notes to that local repository, then push it up to GitHub. Several IM's are on GitHub, and we/they are notified by email when new information is committed, so we can perform a safe merge into the main repository. 

If you're interested in this, but don't want to go the command line route, there are "GUIs" for GitHub available for the three main OS's-- Windows, Mac, and Linux. I think Visual Studio 2015 also has built in GitHub support (maybe need to use WebMatrix to install packages, though?)

If it would be helpful, I'm willing to help any of you set up as a user on GitHub, or to use the git-svn bridge to use an existing subversion user to interact with the LTER repository. I'll be at work normal times all this upcoming week except Wednesday, so you can call the number below and I'll walk you through it.

Oh yes, if privacy is an issue there is a private option for repositories. I think there is a cost to doing this, though, but I do not think it is too high.

I meant to do a "reply-all" for volunteering in doing this. Sorry. Please read the bellow message where I inquire for a private documents repository.

Also, I suggest to have two volunteers to do this. One that does the actual collection of the votes (for example I) and another that double checks the process.

I am willing to do this.

Also, remember that I am to make sure all voices are heard. In this regard I ask you, besides Fox's notes, did anybody else submit their meeting notes?

 I think Fox'es notes are in a Google doc; wouldn't it be nice to have all private ddice n the same place? Do we have some kind of private depository for our documents, like the surveys' results and meetings' notes? If not I think we should have one.

Dear colleagues,

As we proceed with the process of selecting a host institution I would like to ask for some assistance; specifically for a site rep, whose site is not volunteering to be considered as a NIMO host, to administer the selection process.  In order to do this you will ideally have access to a Surveymonkey account, or similar tool, that you can use to collect the choices of each site. Please let me know if you are willing to perform this role. 

Regards,

Philip Tarrant
