May I please join the call? Are those East Africa timezone? I introduced various Carpentries workshops to environmental students in Yaoundé Cameroon last week during a web design workshop and they’re interested to take the R workshops. We set up a WhatsApp group. I’m still looking for an instructor and venue but getting closer to get something started?
