Describe the event
Hands-on, 3-hour workshopfor those interested in increasing their capacity to produce timely, accurate, and accessible stock assessment reports with far less manual effort. Attendees will learn how to use two R packages, {asar} and {stockplotr}, to streamline their reporting workflow and build semi-automated reports. {asar} facilitates accessible stock assessment report writing while {stockplotr} creates stock assessment report-ready tables and figures.

Event Start Date/Time and Event End Date/Time
Monday, January 26. Likely 9am-12pm PT

Reset Date
If you want the participants to have more or less access than the default of 7 days.

Number of Participants
10-15

Resources that Participant Need

1. What RAM will participants typically need? 2Gb (default), 4Gb, more? This is selected in the dropdown and knowing what you will need, helps us make sure the hub is adequately provisioned.
   The specs of the asar image should be fine (1.9 GB RAM)

2. Are there any special storage needs? Like will participants need access to large shared files? Do you anticipate that participants might download lots (10s of Gb or more) of data? If so, we will work with you on how best to do that in the workshop. We have a S3 scratch bucket and a shared drive so that we don't have 10s of copies of big data sets.
   Once we confirm

You will see your event in the workshop spreadsheet.
Your event password will be live on the "Password Change Date" in column 1 in the spreadsheet.

Checkboxes for organizer and hub POC

• Hub POC: Sent confirmation to organizer (a comment in this issue thread is fine)
• Organizer: Submitted a ticket by email to 2i2c for the workshop as per instructions, cc'ing hub POC.
• Hub POC: Confirm [Event] issue opened by 2i2c in response to ticket (example)
• Organizer: Two weeks before event. I have tested the default hub images on the nmfs-openscapes.2i2c.cloud hub or conferred with hub POC on plan for workshop specific hub.
• Organizer: In the week before the event (or when POC indicates password should be live). I tested that the workshop password works and images work.
• Hub POC: After event, put in a 2i2c ticket to remove the participants directories, cleared shared-public, and reset password.

I have added you to the container-images repo as a collaborator so that you can edit your asar image:
https://github.com/nmfs-opensci/container-images/tree/main/images/asar

If you make changes to that, it will automatically build. You can click the Actions tab and see if it built successfully.

When you go to workshop.nmfs-openscapes.2i2c.cloud (or nmfs-openscapes.2i2c.cloud before the workshop), you will see the ASAR image as an option in the dropdown. It is towards the top; just keeps scrolling around until you find it. The selection will always use the latest version of your image.

Let me know if you run into any trouble customizing your image.

Awesome. Thanks so much, @eeholmes !
