Time zone mismatches cause trouble! Rescheduling teaching demos for this month.
Workshop planning
Unlikely to host an official Carpentries summer workshop. Brian is interested in more R workshops since they’re useful foundations for other training. Also interested in workshops relevant for scientific software development; planning a survey in his department about missing technology topics. Jamene is interested in these results. Taylor interested in Git/GitHub since lots of people need this topic; we had a brief discussion about starting with Git or starting with GitHub. Rob is still looking to organize a workshop this summer and will be in touch for planning tips.
Discussion topics
Jess is co-teaching an R workshop at Howard University; their advertising graphic is really appealing and fun.
The group briefly discussed taking a summer hiatus as we did last year but came to no conclusions.
