Awesome Reading Group :books::books:

This repo contains a template for organising reading groups. This reading group is organized as short 30 minute meetings multiple times a week. No one is expected prepare slides and/or read the paper in depth. This makes it agile and highly sustainable.

<blockquote> Having daily frequent groups is very stimulating, and creates very different rhythm compared to weekly-biweekly reading group; it allows to cover much bigger volume of information, even if it is not covered in-depth. If certain papers are very relevant to your domain of interest you may go more in-depth by yourself or in smaller groups. </blockquote>

Please feel free to give any feedback on current organisation as a new issue to this repository - it can be adapted to our needs.

TLDR;

Detailed Intstructions

1 - ADD and VOTE on papers as comments in the voting issue You may only put the title and the link to the paper, or add any comments to help people to understand why it is worth reading.

3- Read the selected paper according to one's time/knowledge​

4- Attend the reading group

4'- Sprints

-Sometimes the reading group can go beyond a single paper: eg. conference proceedings, several papers around the same subject, etc. The idea of the sprint is to grasp the as much papers as possible in a short time. We block 2h slot for this. The sprint happens in two phases:

5- After discussion add your thoughts as a comment on the issue of the discussion day (NOT the voting issue) <kbd> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/1v8miYh.png" width=300px> </kbd>

To extract comments from github issue to paste in a zotero group as comments paste this JS code to browser's console

var a = document.getElementsByClassName("d-block comment-body markdown-body  js-comment-body")
var alltext = "" 
for (i = 0; i < a.length; ++i) { 
	ps = a[i].getElementsByTagName("p")
	
	for (j=0; j<ps.length; j++){
		alltext += ps[j].textContent
    }
	alltext += "\n-----------\n"
}

console.log(alltext)
