[Discuss] Bug BBQ -- organize in-person local events

[François Michonneau]

Hello all,

  As announced recently [1], on April 12th and 13th, we will have a
Carpentry wide Bug BBQ. The main goal of this event is to get the Data
Carpentry Geospatial and Social Sciences lessons ready for release.
However, other lessons will actively be involved.

  The Bug BBQ is also a great opportunity to connect with other
members of the community and to strengthen local Carpentries groups.
The Bug BBQ is a global distributed event, and the work will happen
online. However, if you'd like to organize a local event, get few
people together to teach and learn how to contribute to our lessons,
as well as brainstorm around how to improve our lessons, please let me
know by opening an issue [2] or by sending me an email
(franc...@carpentries.org). We'll add your event to the Bug BBQ
website and map [3].

  Best,
  -- François

Re: [Discuss] introduction to SWC

[Rayna Harris]

Katy's intro to SWC slideshow is so cool! I'm mean, technology-wise. Its an
Html-coded slideshow with a beautiful voice over. Well done.

[Discuss] One weeks until the Collaborations Workshop 2018 (CW18) kicks off. Register Now!

[Raniere Silva]

Hi all,

Sorry to bug you about this again. I promise this is the last time.

If you are based in Europe, you should consider attend Collaborations Workshop 
2018 (CW18). At Collaborations Workshop 2018, you’ll find an amazing group 
composed of researchers, developers,
innovators, managers, funders, publishers, leaders and educators. All of them 
play an important role in shaping the culture of our society and without them 
we would probably live in a very different
world. Throughout the event, we will facilitate discussions about culture 
change, productivity, and sustainability within the this group.

We have Kirstie Whitaker (Alan Turing Institute) and John Hammersley (Overleaf) 
as keynotes on Monday 26 March. They will talk about two of the themes of this 
Collaborations Workshop: culture change
and productivity. Other talks and discussions around the themes and software 
sustainability will be part of the programme that feature Adrian-Tudor Panescu 
(figshare), Daniel S. Katz (University of
Illinois Urbana-Champaign), Naomi Penfold (eLife) , Alys Brett (Culham Centre 
for Fusion Energy) and Carina Haupt (German Aerospace Center).

Attendees will also have access to nine mini-workshops, a hackday with a chance 
to win prizes and some social activities in Cardiff. If you haven’t register 
for Collaborations Workshop 2018, what are
you waiting for? We only have a few tickets left, so don't miss your chance to 
attend this event that promises to be revolutionary.

The clock is ticking away and this is your last chance to register on the CW18 
Eventbrite page.

Re: [Discuss] conda and Git BASH

[Will Trimble]

Instructors who don't have Windows can rent the use of a windows
environment by the hour from Amazon:

https://software-carpentry.org/blog/2014/06/fixing-14-repositories.html

It is very enlightening to play with an unfamiliar operating system the
night before a workshop, where cut-and-paste has an unfamiliar key binding
and all the functionality is in the wrong place.

Hi Rayna,

Katy did a voice over in 2015 introducing Software Carpentry.

[Raniere Silva]

Hi Damien,

I don't remember the details of the Git Bash PATH but you probably need to 
change it to include Conda.

Re: [Discuss] introduction to SWC

[Peter Steinbach]

Dear Stefan,

I am pasting a message by jonah that he sent me the other. the materials 
are all open and public, so I am not giving away any secrets (@Jonah 
just wanted to spare you the typing):

Peter,

There is a lot of good information around. We're trying to get better and
bringing it together in ways that are useful to members.

Slides I typically use are here:
https://www.slideshare.net/jduckles/software-carpentry-data-carpentry

Software Carpentry Survey report:
https://carpentries.github.io/assessment/software-carpentry/postworkshop/2017-July/swc_postworkshop_report_July2017.html

Long-term follow up survey report:
https://carpentries.github.io/assessment/long-term-survey/2018-January/2018_January_long_term_report.html

There is also a very good report on why instructors teach for us and the
benefits they get by doing so. In the last section it even has some of the
"ugly" (albeit not really that ugly) you are looking for.
https://software-carpentry.org/files/bib/duckles-instructor-engagement-2016.pdf

Hope that all helps! Let me know if there are other angles you were hoping
for and I'll see what we have.

Regards,

I have found this material very useful.
