We held a two-day online symposium and had 52 people attend (from 59 registrants), 24 from external organizations. Concomitantly we held a three-day online hackathon, which had 25 attendees (from 33 registrants), 12 of them external. Most people thought the symposium was good or very good across a range of measures (overall satisfaction with the symposium, subjects presented, two-day format). The aspects which were scored the worst were the time for Q&A and the discussions, the discussion score was the only one significantly worse than last year. All of the 17 respondents said the right people were at the symposium, the individual talks were the right length, and the total length of the symposium was long enough. All of the talks were most useful to at least one of the respondents, so the agenda was well balanced. Everyone who replied wanted another symposium, ideally in person, but post-COVID-19. The average scores for the seven questions concerning satisfaction with various aspects of the hackathon were scored generally between Good and Very Good. Comparing four questions with the previous in-person DaSSH shows they were lower for this event, but not significantly so. People thought the goals of the meeting were clear, and that the right people attended. Two people wanted longer than 16 hours of hacking. All respondents wanted another hackathon.
