Hi everyone, During our Top 10 FAIR Data Things Sprint today, one of our sprinters asked if I can forward this hackathon invitation on to The Carpentries community, to anyone who might be interested in joining. Please respond to Natalie if you are!
Dear Chris, You are invited to participate in an NSF-sponsored workshop entitled the “MPS Fair Hackathon”. The workshop will be facilitated by several experts on FAIR principles and related software and data tools that aim to make research objects more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. The workshop will be held February 27th and 28th, 2019 at the Westin Alexandria, Courthouse Square <https://nd-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1iDNk6AvGKxuoX-f48TmhMcjYuRYprm3MNjFcXosxy2M-0&key=YAMMID-46018462&link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marriott.com%2Fhotels%2Ftravel%2Fwasxw-the-westin-alexandria%2F> Alexandria, Virginia (Washington DC Area). The workshop website along with a registration link and more details can be found here: https://mpsfair.crc.nd.edu/index.php <https://nd-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1iDNk6AvGKxuoX-f48TmhMcjYuRYprm3MNjFcXosxy2M-0&key=YAMMID-46018462&link=https%3A%2F%2Fmpsfair.crc.nd.edu%2Findex.php>. The workshop will simultaneously focus narrowly on domain - or discipline-specific challenges facing individual researchers in FAIRifying their software or data while exploring opportunities for interdisciplinary synergies. It will bring together researchers from three different MPS science areas: Experimental High Energy Physics, Chemistry, and Materials Science. The last category will have representatives from the light source and neutron science communities, as well as “bench top” scientists, effectively creating four working groups. Participants are invited to register and assemble as duos or trios with 1-2 colleagues (ideally researchers and/or students along with a data scientist and/or research data librarian from his/her organization or disciplinary society) and to have access to a dataset or software that they wish to make FAIR. Travel support is available to cover most, if not all, of your expenses. Please visit the hackathon website <https://nd-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1iDNk6AvGKxuoX-f48TmhMcjYuRYprm3MNjFcXosxy2M-0&key=YAMMID-46018462&link=https%3A%2F%2Fmpsfair.crc.nd.edu%2Findex.php> and register as soon as possible if you're interested (or share this opportunity with other carpentries community members if you’ll be unable to attend ) . Please email us if you have questions about the workshop. We hope to see you in February! Best wishes, Mike Hildreth & Natalie Meyers -- *Natalie K.
