Hi everyone I just want to weigh in on this as I am responsible for starting this thread in the first place when I asked about teaching R in this post: http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss/2017-October/005510.html
While some people might like the DC R lesson better, I feel it is important to teach the workshop we advertised, i.e. a Software Carpentry R workshop that will be using the R Gapminder lesson. If a workshop is branded Software Carpentry, then our expectation is that it will include the shell, version control and either R, Python or MATLAB. If a workshop does not include those three elements, then it is not really able to be branded Software Carpentry. It can be called 'Based on Software Carpentry", "Inspired by Software Carpentry" etc if it doesn't include those three elements, or if you are using extensive personal/local adaptations of our lessons, but a Software Carpentry workshop must teach shell, git and a programming language to be the real deal. I just wanted to clarify this in case people were not aware of it. regards Belinda Belinda Weaver Community Development Lead Software and Data Carpentry e: bwea...@carpentries.org | p: +61 408 841 882 | t: @cloudaus
