+1 on hosting it at Carpentries Incubator. You went even further than most Incubator materials and formatted it using the Carpentries lesson template - which is great.

Putting it in the Incubator makes it more discoverable by the others looking for similar materials as this is the first place (or one of the first places) they will come to look at.

Cheers,

Aleks

I think this is ideal Carpentries Incubator material. From the carpentries-incubator/proposals README <https://github.com/carpentries-incubator/proposals#readme>: - You want to make your lesson materials available to others in The Carpentries community. - You are interested in getting contributions from other community members. - Your lesson clearly <https://data-carpentry-for-agriculture.github.io/trial-lesson/> uses the Carpentries lesson template and is licensed CC-BY.

I have taught Carpentries workshops at government labs and for-profit companies. A variety of organizations can (and do!) benefit from open, high-quality lesson materials developed using the Carpentries' approach. In the agriculture domain, the USDA ARS <https://www.ars.usda.gov/> is running a Carpentries workshop next month for which the "audience will be mostly USDA ARS scientists and possibly some scientific collaborators from Universities". In my estimation, your lesson is well within the scope of the Carpentries Incubator.

Best,
Donny

    We have developed a curriculum called "Data Harvesting in
    Agriculture," a set of lessons focused on teaching farmers how to
    obtain and use open source data with their own data.

    We are trying to figure out the best way to make this available
    perpetually.  Candidates include housing it with the University
    Extension office or trying to find another ag-focused group in the
    Midwest to coordinate.

    Leaving it floating (i.e., we developers and maintainers are the
    only contacts) seems undesirable if we want to support and
    encourage others using the material.  Finally, it's not really
    Carpentries Incubator material (in my estimation) because the
    audience is so different from the common academic–research groups
    we target here.

    What have you seen work as a home for Carpentries-like curricula?
