Hi Everyone,

We'd like to run Software Carpentry Lessons for young researchers in
geosciences in September and October. It is planned to run three
workshops:
- Novices, Sept 23-25: Olav and Malvika
- Intermediate, 3 days in October: instructors missing
- Proficient, 3 days in Oct 12-23: Peter, second instructor missing

The first workshop for novices has been confirmed by two instructors.
However, the two other workshops still miss some instructors. If you
are interested to participate as instructor then add your availability
in this poll, please: http://doodle.com/mx2ut6vfdn26gtc7

Furthermore, the content of the lessons needs to be structured and
scheduled in the agenda. Peter has already made great suggestions and
is asking for feedback (see forwarded mail below). Please find the
following documents set-up for the three workshops:
- Novices: https://goo.gl/pAh3Fq
- Intermediate: https://goo.gl/m5407q
- Proficient: https://goo.gl/LArXkr

It's the first time I'm in touch and organizing a workshop of this
kind. So any suggestions and support to structure and schedule the
agenda are highly appreciated.

Please note that the FOSTER network will provide related content
regarding Open Access, Open Data and Open Science. So 1/3 approx. of
the three days for each workshop will be used for FOSTER lessons which
are in discussion, too.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,
Martin

Hi to all,

I sat down and came up with some topics for Martin's course series. They
are motivated and stated in more details in the respective google docs
and based on my personal experience, here is a summary:

(Novice)
- swcarpentry/python-novice-inflammation
- swcarpentry/shell-novice
- swcarpentry/git-novice
- a small bit on open publication of code etc
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1auIivn8UYhACRYp9kgRO0wDIQsLyJa2td31nyU_e6zY/edit?pli=1

(Intermediate)
- swcarpentry/capstone-novice-spreadsheet-biblio
- swcarpentry/sql-novice-survey
- swcarpentry/make-novice
- all the glory of open access/data/science/-source software
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JCr8XJIbsnE61IKtQB6vUEQkIvyI1VOjrhbBojKGWow/edit?pli=1#

(Proficient)
- exercise contents of
http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1001745
- OO/Functional Programming and Design Patterns
- Refactoring/Reengineering Code
- Debugging Code
- Parallel Execution and Concurrency (Shared Memory, HPC Batch
processing and potentially Big Data processing with Spark)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x9uOxdtrdQvoGOGU9yKaHiL4jdNQpC1XWVE4yPnvA8Y/edit?pli=1#

I'd love to move this discussion to SWC Discuss to get more feedback
from more experienced instructors and attract more tutors. Maybe Martin
should/could do that? It would also help to know what of the above would
really be needed in the geo science community?

Best,
Peter
