Dear Software Carpenters - more specifically, the South Africans amongst you.
I'll get straight to the point : I've been working on the EC H2020 Sci-GaIA project for the past few months and I'd like to invite you all to the final event, to be held in Pretoria 23 and 24 March, 2016 at the CSIR Convention Centre - see http://www.sci-gaia.eu/final-event (or just register directly at https://agenda.ct.infn.it/event/1235/) We will be talking about doing science on the web, how we built an Open Science Platform (http://www.sci-gaia.eu/osp) and what the future holds for Open. We've learned a lot from Mozilla Science Lab, and Data/Software Carpentry, amongst others, so we would really like to have you there. Although not directly involved in "X Carpentry", we have adopted a lot of the methodology, and push the initiative strongly at our hackfests, which we've held in Catania, Lagos, and Addis Ababa. We've worked hard to make them reproducible (https://github.com/AAROC/e-Research-Hackfest-prep) and inclusive. If anyone would like to attend, please let me know. I'd also appreciate it if you would consider distributing it to other communities. Feel free to start a discussion topic on the forum - http://discourse.sci-gaia.eu, or drop be a line, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks ! PS, we still have one or two slots open for speakers, so let me know if anyone wants to give a "Software Carpentry 4 Open Science 4 Ever" talk... High-5, looking forward to hearing from you all.
