Subject: Bring your own classroom to a CodeRefinery workshop
Bring your own classroom to a CodeRefinery workshop! Provide a learning space, without organizing a full training by yourself. Materials are open, lectures streamed, the only thing you have to do is facilitate the learning experience! Read more: https://coderefinery.org/blog/bring-your-own-classroom/
Subject: Bring your own classroom to a CodeRefinery workshop
CodeRefinery is teaching good enough FAIR research software development practices in two workshops a year with all open source lesson materials (https://coderefinery.org/lessons/#lessons-that-we-teach-in-our-tools-workshops).
The next iteration will be September 10-12 and 17-19 9-13 CEST (info and registration on our event page) and we have four ways for YOU to be part of and support it:
Advertise to your network; check our communications page for advertisement texts
Be a learner or observer; register on our event webpage .
Become a co-instructor for any of our lessons, you will be onboarded and never alone; a nice way to start your teaching journey or expand your teaching horizon :) If this sounds interesting to you, say hi in #coderefinery-tools-workshop channel or come to one of our open planning meetings every Monday at 14 CEST: Connection details on our collaborative document
"Bring your own classroom" - You do not have the capacity to provide a workshop on version control and other FAIR research software development practices yourself, but know your community would need it? -> Provide a space to watch the CodeRefinery workshop together!
We also wrote a blog post about this model including feedback from previous classrooms

Subject: CodeRefinery workshop: Reminder: Preparations for day 3
Hi,
The 3rd session of the workshop starts in ~1h. We'll go through Git collaborative: we will all work together to make our recipe book. The same book, at the same time!
What you need to do to prepare, if you haven't already:
It is possible to do everything on Github, but it's a good opportunity to work locally, if you have VS Code set up or the command line. We recommend a team to help here, since we can't help if it's not set up yet. If you have a local team, you can work together instead of contributing to our example repos.
Reminder:
If you would like to participate as individual learner in the collaborative exercises, please request access by opening an issue at https://github.com/cr-workshop-exercises/access-requests/issues/new/choose (There click "Get started" -> "Submit new issue")
This way we will know your GitHub username and give you write access to exercise repositories.
After we add you as collaborator, you will get an email from GitHub.
Please accept the invitation Don't forget to "unwatch" both https://github.com/cr-workshop-exercises/centralized-workflow-exercise and https://github.com/cr-workshop-exercises/centralized-workflow-exercise-recorded to make sure you don't get too many emails during the exercise. To "unwatch", go to the repository and click the "Unwatch" button (top middle of the screen) and then select "Participating and @mentions".

Thank you for joining us today.
You may find the archived questions and answers at https://coderefinery.github.io/2024-09-10-workshop/questions/. If you'd like to revisit some of the episodes, you may find the videos on Twitch https://twitch.tv/coderefinery for another week and later today on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@coderefinery3414/playlists.
Preparations for day 2:
Having the local editors available is good: VS Code or command line. See the second option on installation (https://coderefinery.github.io/installation/). If you don't have these, you can still attend and there are some steps you can do, and you'll learn for the future.
Preparations for day 3:
On Thursday we will all practice how to collaborate using Git/GitHub and one ambitious thing we will try is to collaborate with participants following via stream.
If you would like to participate as individual learner in the collaborative exercises, please request access by opening an issue at https://github.com/cr-workshop-exercises/access-requests/issues/new/choose (There click "Get started" -> "Submit new issue")
