Re: [discuss] What's in a name: Live-Coding, or?

[rayna harris via discuss]

Thank you, Lex! 

This thread really spoke to me, and I so happy the language is getting adopted. 

You see, I've been to dozens of non-Carpentry workshops where the instructor 
was live coding (yea!) with some access-restricted software or a data set 
(nay). This frustrated me to no end, but I didn't have the words to describe 
how our live coding method was better. I'm glad we finally have the terminology 
to emphasize that the ability of a learner to code-along is critical to the 
success of our training program.  

Thanks! 
Rayna

[discuss] Re: [Carpentries en Latinoamerica] Carpentry lessons material in multiple (spoken) languages

[Rayna Harris via discuss]

Wow, David! The ability to toggle back and forth between the English and
Spanish versions of a lesson by clicking on the little globe icon at the
top and selecting the language from a drop-down menu is amazing!

Will this tool that you built also be able to support multiple languages in
the future?

Re: [discuss] Options / best practices for sc workshop registration fee?

[rayna harris via discuss]

I'm quite happy with an Eventbrite alternative called *TiTo*
https://ti.to/pricing Titos only charges 3% for paid workshops and has a handy 
calculator to calculate fees and taxes in multiple currencies and countries.

[discuss] #welcome

[rayna harris via discuss]

Hey Carpenters,

I came across this lovely blog post by Stefanie Butland about the value of a 
#welcome channel for Slack. 

https://blog.trelliscience.com/the-value-of-welcome/

I posted it on the #general channel on Slack and it got a few smiley
faces, so I went ahead and created one on our Slack channel. If you would like 
to say hello to new folks, please join the channel! All are #welcome!

https://swcarpentry.slack.com/messages/CB35ZV9KL/details/?

Best,
Rayna
