Hey list, I'm working on putting together a half-day class on this (this: basics for research computing and reproducibility, aimed at people that don't need to use clusters), as part of the Mozilla Open Projects this year.
I'm still working on figuring out some points, but I'll ask for feedback to this list in about a month. Meanwhile, if some are interested in putting material together or just doing some brainstorming, let me know. t On 2017-09-27 12:25 PM, Laura Fortunato wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > Thanks for the link --- that previous thread points to a lot of > interesting, "high-level" material for background.
