The start of Michaelmas Term means some new faces on our Zoom screens and lots of things for our new group members to get used to. To help them settle in quickly I thought I’d put together an updated edition of the 10 Commandments of OPIG, tailored towards our new reality.
- Thou shalt not crash the servers.
- Thou shalt not monopolise the servers, upon pain of SLURMification.
- Blog posts must be written and published within two weeks, upon pain of extremely persistent nagging.
- Short talks should be SHORT.
- If there is a pet in your house during Group Meeting, it must periodically appear in front of the camera so we can wave at them.
- If you do docking, cite AutoDock (other tools are available). If you don’t do docking, cite it anyway.
- The calling of James’ name in the register is a 2 second warning to cover your ears.
- If you produce a model/database, the job isn’t finished until it has a contrived acronym.
- Singing Happy Birthday is mandatory. Singing it well is not.
- OPIG is a democratic society, right up until the moment it isn’t.
