Thanks @amitkumarj441! I'm totally fine with adding gender to the basics! You're right that one should certainly be there. I'll also add specialization, although I think we might need to refine the exact terms we're using at some point I'm not so sure about date of birth though. I don't know why one would want to select on that. Maybe if they want to have young researchers?? But I don't think that's a particularly positive message. They could select junior researchers and therefore support those in the early stages of their career, but I don't think this is the same as their age. I'm going to leave this open for a little longer and see what others think! It's a similar point for being a role model according to your religion. I haven't read any articles that have pointed out an under-representation of particular religions and I'm not sure that promoting religion is a major goal - would it be better to be a role model for a country or ethnic group rather than a religion? Again - I'm going to leave this open for more discussion - it may be that I'm in a privileged group and so don't see the benefits! Can you give me some examples of what would go in the IRC field? What would it look like? Thanks for the suggestions! |
Hi @KirstieJane, Cheers, |
Hi, @KirstieJane, you can include an IRC-client on a webpage, too. For example via Kiwi IRC. IRC does not require registration as the alternatives do: Some seem to prefer Slack over IRC in the younger past. Disclaimer: I'm using Sabayon Linux and am in the process of cleaning up their upcoming static site generated website :-) |
The entry barrier is lower, since you don't need to register upfront. Gitter's log is awkward and slack is proprietary. You can offer it anyway, though. Maybe looking at a Mozillians profile to get inspired about the markup. (I can provide a list of offered communication slots if you want). |
The point of the members profile is to help conference organisers find people to speak at their event. So you definitely need to be able to reach out to them and find out information (email, linkedin, twitter etc), but you don't need ways to communicate with groups (slack/gitter). |
Okay, so a focus on 1:1 communication. A fellow student pointed me to http://www.orcid.org a few minutes ago. |
