Hi Belinda, I'm confused. Is the DC R lesson not considered a programming language lesson? I think it should do fine as a lesson in a SC workshop, and I interpreted Azalee's post as agreeing with that:
http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss/2017-October/005525.htmlk Other than that, my understanding matches yours with respect to branding, etc. Who is the final arbiter of this, in any case? Shouldn't it be Jonah or someone on the SC Steering Committee, like Christina, who weighed in here: http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss/2017-October/005527.html and said the same thing as Azalee. thanks, --titus On Sat, Oct 21, 2017 at 11:18:00AM +1000, Belinda Weaver wrote: > 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: [email protected] | p: +61 408 841 882 | t: @cloudaus > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.software-carpentry.org/listinfo/discuss -- C.
