I think we can punch this up a bit to be more clear. maybe something like "pyOpenSci at SciPy 2024: a recap of our time in Tacoma"

awesome. @kierisi just a note that here you have a suggested change but the actual change is in the comment text so i can't actually "accept" the change and give you credit for it . Would you like to make the change inline so i can commit it (and the commit then is in your name! so your work gets credit). i can also modify locally - up to you!

nope! I didn't want to assume what the title should be, so feel free to use whatever works best for you :)

Ok got it. I suggest that you play with the how comments work and what they look like on GitHub.
This is what i see which suggests you were trying to edit the text inline. When i look at the comment, I think your intention might have been to suggest a change to the header which is why i asked you for followup.
I think your actual intention was just to leave text feedback. it would be more clear to me then if you just left a comment rather than a text suggestion that has no actual changes to the text

does that make sense? please let me know if it doesnt. there are several comments here that look like you started to edit the text and then didn't which will prompt me to ask for more information to ensure i'm capturing the feedbac correctly.

yep, got it! I'll be more decisive next time in whether or not I provide an inline edit, and make sure to use the corresponding feature.

the preview on our website doesn't show who the author is, so by adding your name in we can ideally get more people interested in reading.

oh weird. that is a bug! it may be a bug in CI because when i build locally i see the author name and picture on the page. i'm going to hold off on accepting this because I did write the blog post so it should be coming from me . i could mention who i am in the post too however if you think that would be useful.

so there's no author information
(also, I just noted that the alignment is off between the title and the body of the preview text. should I file an issue for that?)

that alignment is intentional. I just redid that page this week with the events pr.
the issue that i think you should file is related to wanting the author to be listed on the blog listing page. This topic is out of scope for this pr because this pr is only a new blog post.
Being super specific about where information is missing (in context of a specific PR) is important to avoid scope creep in a single pr and conversations then straying from the pr that we are trying to merge.
Feel free to open an issue (and a pr?) related to the blog landing page and please include screenshots and make it specific if you want someone else to fix it so we can tag it with help wanted!

going to stop noting it, but overall I think headings could be stronger with a descriptive and declarative statement, which will also help with SEO.

Ok thank you for the feedback. i've integrated all of the inline comments and left a few questions. i'll work on headers and content enhancements tomorrow so we can get this merged.

sure - when you say "this" do you mean that first sentence or the paragraph?
If you can help me understand what that would look like then I can make a change locally?

i like the idea of making it more powerful. Are you suggesting that I change the header text or the content of the paragraph or both?
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the lightning talk sessions. During lightning | ||
talks, people throw their names into a literal bucket. If their name is selected, | ||
they are given 5 minutes (or less if the dice are rolled) to talk about a topic | ||
they love. At SciPy, there are often off-beat distractions from the moderators |

oh that is totally what happens. they literally heckle you on the stage and intentionally disrupt. it's funny tho because everyone is used to it. but it really is intentional disruption and the audience just laughs.
Several participants enjoyed the process so much that they joined our sprint | ||
afterwards to help build out the packaging guide. More on that below. | ||

re: #448 (comment) I think what's happening there is that I start with a suggested change and then end up deleting it but leaving the comment. I'll be more diligent on that going forward! as for clarifying, I think if you could "set the scene" and describe what happens at the lightning talks for someone who has never been, it would be great! almost like a tour guide explanation of what happens (it doesn't have to be super in-depth, just enough to give someone context!) |
re: #448 (comment) totally about the headers! SEO operates largely on headers, so one of the ways we can continue to grow awareness of pyOpenSci is by writing headers that "answer a question," as it makes them more likely to be picked up by Google, and show up as "snippets" when someone enters a query on the web. so a totally random and arbitrary example could be someone googling "Is SciPy fun?" and us having a heading like "SciPy is the most fun conference I've ever been to!", which could then get picked up by Google and shown as one of the "featured" snippets in response to the person doing the googling. you'll actually see people writing for SEO//using AI for SEO try to hijack this, where they'll have a great header, but the actual text under the header doesn't actually answer the question (sometimes it doesn't even address it). |
ok fantastic @kierisi i went through and tried to make the headers more engaging. I do remember working on this when we optimized earthdatascience.org with seo people. it just takes more time to write. But also i'm not sure if what i've changed hits our goals. can you please re-review this pr with the updated headers? i think once i have a bit more context i can try to just write better headers. That website work i did was in 2016 -- seo has come a long way. |

somehow this link got broken when i was working on the blog so i fixed it here.
@kierisi i suggest that you just go through and add optimizations to the blog post directly as suggested inline changes i have made a lot of changes but also am keen to move past scipy work and focus on fall festival and funding! so if you can help me with the seo part here that would be great. maybe we can try to get this merged by tuesday next week? |
