I am certain that good User Research begins with empathising with the participant as a human being first and foremost. All research begins with a conversation and connection with a fellow human being, just one that has some focus. As part of an initial program to help juniors and other members of our team (developers etc) I put together this initial lightning talk to ease them into it. Something I hope to develop further over 2020.

You're going to die and no-one is going to give a shit.Chris Spalton
Here's my slides from my recent @SNHangout and @Syncnorwich talk: "You're going to die and no-one is going to give a shit." Sorry for the lack of notes, I didn't use any, hopefully it still works as a reference/reminder. Thanks as always to Austin Kleon for the important lessons and inspiration behind the talk.
Collected PDF Booklet of all my UXSTRAT USA sketch notes from last weeks amazing event in Providence, Rhode Island. Thanks to all involved for such a great experience.
Just going through some old projects and found this test example of some of my early UX design thinking, learnt a lot more since then but thought I'd share anyway.
Here's my slides from my sketch note talk & workshop that I recently held with some students from a local college. Went down really well with the students, and the teachers were also really interested in the new ideas / methods of note taking. Very rewarding day, hopefully more to come!

Paketo Buildpacks : la meilleure façon de construire des images OCI? DevopsDa...Anthony Dahanne
Les Buildpacks existent depuis plus de 10 ans ! D’abord, ils étaient utilisés pour détecter et construire une application avant de la déployer sur certains PaaS. Ensuite, nous avons pu créer des images Docker (OCI) avec leur dernière génération, les Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNCF en incubation). Sont-ils une bonne alternative au Dockerfile ? Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ?

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

2. It’s nothing to be
scared of!
‘Research’ sounds technical.
But - it’s just an opportunity to talk to
someone about what they do.
People like talking about what they do,
their problems and achievements. It’s
natural human behavior to talk about
ourselves.
It’s just our job to channel that to learn
what we need to.
You don’t need to go in knowing the
answers, that’s the point!
Don’t feel pressure to get it 100% ‘right’
any new learning is valuable!
3. It’s a conversation
between human
beings.
You talk to people all the time – at work, at
home, conducting an interview, buying a
coffee.
These aren’t conversations with Software
Engineers, Data Architects, or IT directors,
they’re all conversations with human
beings, you’re a human being.
MOST people aren’t defined by their job;
they have lives, families and outside
interests.
Taking an interest in them early, helps
break the ice, and helps the conversation
flow.
4. Ask them how
they are…
Relate to them as people early. – busy
commute? So have you!
They live in a cool city you’ve visited?
Mention it!
Don’t be afraid to make (appropriate) jokes.
Have we spoken to them before? Mention
it and ask how things are going since.
It builds rapport and connections and they’ll
open up more to you.
Do this throughout the call.
5. A CALL PLAN
IS NOT
A SCRIPT.If you’re bored, they will be too
6. But, a structure is useful!
Context
Topic 1 Topic 2 Topic 3
Anything else/ Follow
up/ Deeper Dives
What’s happening in their world?
Go wide and narrow down toward your first
research objective.
What are the specific things we’re interested
it?
Wide first then drill down.
Maintain the focus.
What have we missed that’s important to them?
Opportunity for them to open up, they’ll appreciate
it! – If not, go deeper on your main objectives.
Intro
Thank them – remind them they’re the expert
7. FOLLOW THE THREADS
“Oh that’s very interesting…..:
IS IT?
THEN FOLLOW IT!
That’s where the gems are!
8. Make
handwritten
notes!
Your teammates have the verbatim notes
covered.
You can focus on what they’re saying.
Have a scrap of paper to scribble notes,
connections and questions on.
It empowers you to connect the dots
between different things they say and how
they relate.
This helps with follow-up questions and
keeping the conversation flowing.
9. REMEMBER YOU’RE IN
CONTROL.
Don’t be afraid to refocus the conversation toward your
objective. “Thanks - we’ll note that down for later”
If they ask you a question you can’t answer, rephrase it as “What
does that mean to you?”
If you’re not learning anything, end the call!
Some calls/people WILL JUST BE CRAP – don’t let it dishearten
you!
It’s not a perfect science, people are messy, but it’s the most
valuable learning we have.
EMBRACE THE VAGUE!
