Hi there, I am also a +1 for this. I taught only one workshop, but conda made my life a lot easier. Windows, OSX, and Linux people got a standard environment for the class with little pain. All we had to do was to install conda and distribute an environment.yaml. (The same environment.yaml was used to create a binder [2] for those who could not install anything in their laptop.)
I maintain the IOOS channel and I am glad to help in this effort too. I also want to mention conda-forge [2]. It is an effort to avoid effort duplication and increase the collaboration in maintaining conda recipes. I believe conda-forge goals are very similar to SWC lessons in that regard ;-) [1] https://github.com/ocefpaf/intro_python_notebooks [2] https://github.com/conda-forge Best, -Filipe > Sounds like a great idea.
