  1. CW: KTH will be hosting an in-person exercise group as part of the upcoming CodeRefinery Workshop March 17-19 and 24-26 on tools and techniques for more reproducible research. Register (links below) to apply for a spot! The event is free of charge and open for all.
  2. Interested in how we do our online teaching: production values, streaming, everyone can attend, videos and materials available immediately? The @coderefinery Train the Trainer workshop will go over it all, 4 Tuesdays starting tomorrow EU mornings. Online, you can drop by for the days that interest you.

  3. On Friday, we'll have a lightweight Research Software talk, where we'll demonstrate extracting a component out of some software, and releasing it as a separate package. This is a quick informal thing, more "discussion-demo" than a talk. Anyone is welcome to join: Online, Friday 10:00 EET, info at scicomp.aalto.fi/tech/

  4. How can you access our videos without YouTube? Via this repository, to distribute raw videos around. One of those places is a publicly accessible object storage, and with a few commands you can download the processed videos. github.com/coderefinery/video-

    Problem: yes, git-annex installation is a barrier. This isn't designed as a primary access method but a backup.

  5. videos are published for day 2. The course ended at 13:00 and by 18:06 all five videos from the 3 hour day are live, which is a new record (both speed and lack of frustration). Videos may not be that useful for someone learning later (we've got reading material for that), but it does allow instant reviewing and catching-up.

  6. feedback, "parallel chat" histogram after the day:

    Today was:
    - too fast: ooooooooo
    - too slow:
    - just right: ooooxooooooooooooooooooo
    - too simple: ooo
    - too advanced:
    - was worth attending: ooooooxoooooooooooooooooooo
    - I will recommend to others: ooooooooooooooooo

  7. It's the night before and things are calm - only a normal amount of emergencies. It's hard to appreciate all the people involved:

    - at least 9 other instructors, who prep all lessons
    - @eglerean managing registration and attendees - I actually have little idea who is coming and how. That's a huge burden gone!
    - Many other helpers

    Besides putting on a course, we have to appreciate how much we are learning from each other- will you join us next?

  8. @coderefinery Does anyone want more high-volume updates about the "behind the scenes" part of running of the course using strategies? I could do that here, and @coderefinery is for the primary announcements. Feel free to direct questions here.

    In theory our manuals say a lot, but there's still a lot of unwritten knowledge:
