A QW manager is mainly responsible for finding speakers/filling slots, but there are a few other minor tasks alongside this role.
- Find speakers! Doesn't have to be external, and doesn't have to be a formal talk. Can be a focused discussion, watch party, social coding, etc.
- Ensure the appropriate discord events are made. This requires creating a new QW banner which is easily created, and exported from figma.
- In the days before the event, send a message to the
#journal-clubchannel on Discord with a link to the discord event as well as the paper/topic the speaker will be presenting on. Ensure there are no overlaps with other community meetings. If there are, ensure they are in separate rooms.- To garner further interest, send an email to
all@unitary.fund, and in special casescommunity@unitary.fundto ensure people know event is happening.
- To garner further interest, send an email to
- Ensure speakers slides are uploaded to our shared Google drive in the Quantum Wednesday directory.
- If video was recorded, upload to the drive.
- Send message on Discord with links to the slides and recording, thanking the speaker.
- Keep the table in the README up to date with the related links/info.
