Biggest open problems
How to give helpers and contributors more credit and visibility
How to promote/engage new members
We don’t know how we should be in relation with Carpentries
What are we? Non-profit? Institution collaboration network? Selling services?
Funding and sustainability (but we have ideas: collaboration network)
Scalability and marketing question: How to reach more people? (Research Software Hour, Twitch, streaming-only workshops, recording, post-processing videos)
Certification for CodeRefinery instructors
We will set up a more formal process soon but for now you would need to:
Attend an instructor training (this workshop).
Contribute to a lesson, either via pull request, issue, discussion, or as a helper.
Share a short teaching demo or teach a lesson at a CodeRefinery workshop where you will get some feedback on your teaching.
Participate in a call with other instructors and helpers either preparing a workshop or during a workshop debrief session.
There are many ways to learn how to teach well. We and carpentries provide one way and basic material, but we want to find a way for everyone to be a part of us.
