We’re cancelling two workshops scheduled for next week, and discussing whether to virtually host some April workshops we have scheduled, at UW-Madison.

Some of these measures include: events cancellation, travel bands, increase in workforce working from home or being placed in self-isolation, it is my personal opinion that this will have a flow on affect to software carpentry workshops. I am not aware of any software carpentry workshops that have been cancelled because of this virus yet, but I believe that it is a matter of when, not if, that some workshops will be cancelled. With a desire to increase social distance of the general population, the interest in the use of virtual environments for training, presentations and general meetings it rising rapidly. Because I believe strongly in what software carpentry is trying to achieve and I have personally seen my local participants benefitting from software carpentry workshops, I want to highlight my experiences from running virtual software carpentry workshops in Australia! I believe that virtual workshops may provide a viable alternative to the carpentries standard “face-to-face” workshops. Two weeks ago, on behalf of ARDC, CQUniversity and QCIF, I provided a presentation on “Virtual Software Carpentry Workshops - key learnings to make it a success” (which can now be viewed on YouTube https://youtu.be/MzsJyOkxqv8--) that I am hoping might be of interest to some of you within the Software Carpentry community. Please don’t take this email the wrong way and I am not looking to create additional fears or concerns – I am just hoping that some of my experiences from running virtual software carpentry workshops might be of value to some of you, particularly those who may be considering alternative workshop delivery options. If you have any questions, you are welcomed to email me, or send me a message on the carpentry slack channel.
