The con-duct poster for the US-RSE'26 poster session (Oct 19–21, San Jose): one HTML page exported to a one-page 42×36 in PDF. The committed PDF is the exact file sent to the printer and published on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23401552 (version 2 of the abstract's record).

What's in it

  • 2026-usrse/duct-poster.html: the poster source. Export with chromium-browser --headless --disable-gpu --no-pdf-header-footer --virtual-time-budget=5000 --print-to-pdf=duct-poster.pdf "file://$PWD/duct-poster.html" from 2026-usrse/ (needs network for IBM Plex from Google Fonts).
  • 2026-usrse/duct-poster.pdf (annexed): the print file, md5 699f5a5711ec3559855a15bba340f3f1.
  • 2026-usrse/duct-poster-assets/: duct, CON and Dartmouth (D-Pine) logos, QR codes (con/duct and the abstract's DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22833931), the fMRIPrep plot from con/duct-gallery.
  • REUSE.toml: D-Pine under the third-party logo marker; the duct logo stays under the catch-all with the CON marks; uvx reuse lint passes.

git-annex

Annexed content is on https://hub.centerforopenneuroscience.org/con/talks (an anonymous clone gets every file), not yet on datasets.datalad.org (I have no falkor access). annex-check fails anyway: its hub remote never resolves from GitHub's runners, on any PR. It goes green once the content is copied to con-site or the action reaches the hub.

Verified

  • PDF: one page, 3024 × 2592 pt, fonts embedded, both QR codes decode, every live text span ≥ 18 pt, 25 hyperlinks pointing where intended.
  • Commands re-run as printed with con-duct 0.23.0 (and DataLad 1.6.2 for the provenance panel).
Notes for reviewers
  • The agent chat panel is illustrative: its con-duct ls and tail lines are real commands, the conversation around them is written for the poster. Every other command output is from a real run.
  • The header and the middle-column graphic were designed in Claude Design and pasted in as static markup; the footer says the poster was built with Claude Code and Claude Design.
  • The comparison table's workflow-manager and experiment-tracker cells come from reading their docs, not from use.

2026-usrse: duct poster mockup at 42x36 in, with logos
c634553 
HTML mockup of the US-RSE'26 con-duct poster, sized for a 42 x 36 in
fabric print: @page sets the page size and a print stylesheet zooms the
2158 x 1850 px layout onto it, so headless chromium --print-to-pdf gives
one page.

Title row: author block, title with the con-duct logo inline, then the
Dartmouth D-Pine, CON and ReproNim logos and QR placeholders. Assets
include the con-duct overhead and fMRIPrep plots.

2026-usrse: QR codes for the duct poster title row
95691e3 
Two QR codes replace the placeholders: the con/duct repository and the
abstract's Zenodo DOI (10.5281/zenodo.22833931). Generated as SVG with
`segno --scale 10 --border 0 --error H <url>`; both decode to their URL
from the printed PDF.

2026-usrse: REUSE markers for the duct poster's borrowed logos
b878f48 
The D-Pine joins the third-party logos marker. The con-duct logo is a
bitmap trace of an image of unrecorded origin (con/duct#207), so it gets
the NOASSERTION mixed marker rather than the catch-all. The ReproNim logo
is the already-annotated pics/borrowed/repronim_logo.svg, and the CON
logos stay under the catch-all, being our own. `reuse lint` passes.

2026-usrse: restructure the duct poster into story-led panels
41813ae 
Middle column: what con-duct is (capture, search, plot).
Left: Try it with a real hello-world run, You drive / the agent
drives with simulated chats, and the plot.
Right: DataLad with a real datalad run commit, adopted inside tools
(BABS, ReproNim/containers, ReproStim), comparison table.
Footer: overhead and limitations.
The k8s case study is cut and nebari is gone from the poster.

2026-usrse: duct poster graphics, search box, and layout pass
f412aed 
- Claude Design graphic for the middle column (capture, then what the
  human or agent asks of the records), pasted as static markup and
  scaled by script; it replaces the HTML capture/search prose.
- Claude Design header: teal band, duct logo tile, QR tiles.
- New "Search is a Python expression" box with real con-duct ls output
  over the con/duct-gallery records.
- Plot moves to the left column; Try it and the chat are trimmed; the
  Try it and DataLad runs are shown dated 2026-09-30.
- Limitations trimmed and reworded around ps CPU statistics.
- Logos move from the header to the footer.

- The agent-drives panel shows real runs and a con-duct ls query that
  runs as written (paths before -F).
- Plot swapped to the con/duct-gallery ds002785 ps-cpu-timepoint SVG.
- Search questions as tinted cards; caption cut.
- Overhead caption drops the records path; table right-aligned.
- Limitations: macOS sampling overhead.
- Comparison table: the partial marker is an inline SVG (the U+25D0
  glyph fell back to a tiny sliver).

duct deletes the logs of a command that fails in under 3 s by default,

- Every font size raised to at least 18 pt at print (13 px in the
  poster, 24 and 25 design px in the scaled graphic and header).
- Graphic: taller file boxes and wider question cards so the larger text
  fits; the canvas copy of the graphic is not updated.
- Try it runs plain duct sleep 2 (real run, shown dated 2026-09-30).
- Agent-drives commands use --f-t 0, the short form.

Yes, this is final: a9fe84b is what went to print, and the new commits only rename (duct-poster-mockup.html → duct-poster.html), drop unused assets and a hidden draft label, move the duct logo under the CON catch-all in REUSE.toml, and add the print PDF itself (annexed).

  • PDF: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23401552 (also committed as 2026-usrse/duct-poster.pdf).
  • git-annex: all content, the PDF included, is on hub.centerforopenneuroscience.org/con/talks; an anonymous clone from there gets every file. annex-check still fails because its hub remote never resolves from GitHub's runners ("cannot determine uuid", then annex-ignore); it does the same on every PR, including the green orinoco ones, which pass through web URLs. Could you copy from the hub to con-site, or should we look at the hub path in the action?
  • Preview: I did not touch the preview workflow; the Zenodo record shows the PDF in its viewer.
