Hi Lex Thanks for this and you raise some good points. I will amend the wording on the website.
As for how we assess hardship/need, we haven't got to that in taskforce planning yet ! There has been such a lot of work to get to this stage that this issue was put on the back burner. However, we need to develop a process and it will be raised at our weekly taskforce meeting, so all I can say at this stage is stay tuned! If people on the list have ideas of what our criteria should be for assessing hardship, please send those ideas through. cheers Belinda Belinda Weaver Community Development Lead Software and Data Carpentry e: bwea...@carpentries.org | p: +61 408 841 882 | t: @cloudaus On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 8:17 PM, Lex Nederbragt <lex.nederbr...@ibv.uio.no> wrote: > Hi Belinda, > > Great things are moving ahead with CarpentryCon.
