What does The Carpentries actually do?
We help researchers build practical data and computational skills and we train people to teach those skills to others.
That approach has helped grow a global community:
• 5,405 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬
• 185 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬
• 4,965 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐧 72 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.But the real impact is personal.

@felwert @rasmus91 @dkz2r @thecarpentries This is understanable and I’d say it always depends on what you want to achieve. For a lightweight "just writing some text" I prefer always(!) #Emacs with #org-mode . But in my PhD thesis (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2548872) I did things I was only capable of doing using #TeXLaTeX - it is always a trade of.
I dont know any other tool that would be able to create such data-driven visualizations:

Can recommend watching the #OLS call on Tooling for open collaboration with Joyce Kao from @digiresacademy and Karin Lagesen from the @thecarpentries Code of Conduct Committee

Nice examples of how to explain complex topics in a very understandable manner!

"None of us are trained or supported or handling in supporting and maintaining a community that build open source software" - @fperez at the #NASACERN #OpenScience summit
"Not all of us end up doing this, but the ones that do... it ain't pretty" - Fernando Pérez
Fernando is highlighting the work by @thecarpentries and MetaDocencia (@lacion!) as organisations that teach people to do/contribute to #OSS and make these things better :toot:

The lesson is aimed at post-graduate students, early career researchers or junior Research Software Engineers (#RSEs) who want to develop software to support their research using established best practices. They have foundational knowledge of Python, version control and using software tools from the command line shell (as might be obtained through participation in a Software Carpentry workshop).
It is also suitable for researchers or scientists who have foundational software training but wish to refresh, reinforce, or improve their skills and practices in the wider context of FAIR research, sharing, and writing software for open and reproducible research.

📢 In late 2024, we launched a collaboration between The Carpentries and the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI), aiming to explore how generalist data repositories such as #Dataverse, #Dryad, #Figshare, Mendeley Data, Open Science Framework, #Vivli, and #Zenodo might be more intentionally woven into the data skills we teach. 🌟
In the process, we also asked ourselves some important questions:
❓ What would it look like if open data repositories weren’t just add-ons at the end of a workflow, but upfront teaching concepts in our lessons?
❓ How can we position generalist repositories as active components in retrieving and processing datasets?
❓How can we give researchers the tools not just to write clean code, but to publish their work in ways that make it reusable and citable by others?Learn about the important steps we have taken in this collaboration toward co-creating new lesson content: https://carpentries.org/blog/2025/06/update-on-the-carpentries-and-grei-collaboration/ 👏

Saw in the Carpentries website that @alienghic pointed me to, some software called #OpenRefine which might be something someone like my wife would be interested in. So I go to find a YouTube video about how it works to see if it's pointy clicky enough etc... and find this lovely lady who begins giving a talk with a very notable Scottish accent... then she goes to open her dataset and it's a dataset about Scottish Witches... Well played internet, well played.

Last talks at the UK-Ukraine science twinning event in Liverpool.
1. The Carpentries communities are presented by Olexandr Konovalov of the University of St Andrews.
They translated materials into Ukrainian using the Transifex platform, and trained Ukrainians in FAIR software and Git at a Research Software Camp.

Good morning #Fediverse :fediverse:! Hope you've all had a great weekend. In this morning's #ConnectionList #Introduction #Connections post, in which I help to more richly connect us together, I'd like you to meet:
@ZoeGlatt is a #PhD candidate and #DigitalEthnography #researcher, and founder of @DigitalEthnographyCollective. They (not assuming pronouns) are submitting in March and are interested in jobs researching #SocialMedia culture, #CreativeLabour and #CreativeIndustries
@ndporter is into #SocialScience, #Data and #DataEquity and works with the #Carpentries. The #Carpentries is a volunteer-driven movement to provide #researchers with foundational computational skills in technologies like #Python 🐍, #Git ⌨️ and #HPC #programming 💻
@pip works in #design for #AI at #CSIRO #ProductManagement
@safiyanoble is the author of "Algorithms of Oppression", which if you haven't read it, should be on your reading list, especially if you're into #AIethics or #FairML. It sits in a similar space to @VirginiaEubanks "Automating Inequality" and shows how algorithms serve to reinforce existing structures of oppression, particularly of POC.
@fionatribe is a #CulturalAnthropology person who is interested in #MaterialCulture, #Architecture and #Anthropology
@metasecsol works as an #InfoSec researcher at the #W3 and as a #Lecturer in #InformationSecurity #DevSecOps
