Dear Community, In our workshops we are forever mixing Library Carpentry's OpenRefine with Data Carpentry's R lesson and sometimes the Shell for good measure. Or we're mixing the Software Carpentry Shell with DC Ecology R and the (recently discussed and really great but non-Carpentry) Github lesson from Steve Bond.
I like to offer the workshop that will work for our audience rather than a stock-standard out-of-the-box offering because those are the rules. I know there are rules if one want to brand something as "Carpentry" and that one can brand anything else derived from the Carpentries core curricula as "Carpentry-based" but I have a feeling that this mixing and matching occurs much more frequently than just in our context - based on conversations over the past few years. It would be interesting to see how frequently people are not following the guidelines exactly and still call it Carpentry workshops. This information might be useful to the Carpentry lesson organisations as they position themselves going forward. Right now I'm putting together a workshop where I would like to teach - DC Data organisation in spreadsheets - DC Ecology R - SWC shell - Steve Bond's derived Github/git lesson - https://github.com/biologyguy/git-novice What should I call this? What branding is allowed? Our workshops are becoming less and less stock-standard Carpentries, and more and more derived as we grow our instructor pool and learner base and as we empower people to know what they want to learn and what they should teach. Anyone else finding themselves in the same situation? Thanks! Anelda
