Instructor Training check in
One person is attending instructor training in September.
Workshop planning
Discussed offering the “vegetables” of Bash shell, version control, and code review through an appealing theme; settled on “reproducible data science.” Floated a few possible schedules based on the February R workshop on Tues/Thurs afternoons, with a proposal for Mon/Wed/Fri afternoon for three topics: Bash shell, command line Git, and code review with GitHub. Plan to put a call for interest out on the Instructors’ mailing list and go from there.
Discussed possible relevant lessons, including content for the code review portion, which doesn’t have a canonical lesson. In the shared document, listed official, incubator, and other lessons for pull requests, collaborative workflows, and project governance.
