I'm at the PyConPl now and I have a lot of discussions about teaching practices. I think we can learn a lot from each other.

I just wanted to flag somewhere that I'd love to be able to attend some of the sessions remotely. I'm in the UK and trying not to fly too much.

I've also seen remotely-presented sessions work really well.

Initial review the website and put issues in https://github.com/carpentrycon/carpentrycon2020/issues
in preparation for the website to go live

http://www.carpentrycon.org/ has the old logo.

The 'minutes' folder only includes minutes from carpentrycon2018 so I think we should move it into the carpentrycon2018 folder. Otherwise people looking for cc2020 minutes will find them first since they are in main and the cc2020 minutes are in the cc2020 folder.

Welcoming people for a meeting helps set the tone and how people engage with the meeting.

The Write the Docs community put together a Welcome Wagon document that they found to be very helpful and effective for inclusivity

A document like could be something good for CarpentryCon.

I think TFMinutes is confusing, it took me a moment to realise what it means. Those are minutes, why not call them that way?

https://about.gitlab.com/gdpr/ says

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European privacy law that is set to go into effect in May 2018. The GDPR replaces the Data Protection Directive that was put into place in 1995. Although it is a European law, it will impact any entity that does business in or offers services and goods to people in the European Union (EU), regardless of their location. It will also apply to any entity that collects and analyzes the data of EU residents or businesses.

Because CarpentryCon is planned to happen on 30 May - 1 June, 2018 I think that someone from the organising committee should investigate what need to be done to respect the new regulation.

Subcommittee list needs updating, as per Serah Rono's @serahrono email from 2019-06-24:

A repository rearrangement has meant that the links from the CarpentryCon2018 website to the materials from the sessions are broken.

These links are from this page: https://2018.carpentrycon.org/

As an example, the Skill-Up session 1 currently links to:
https://github.com/carpentries/carpentrycon/blob/master/Sessions/2018-05-30/01-Skill-Up-1-Project-Leadership/Abstract.md

But the material has moved to:
https://github.com/carpentries/carpentrycon/blob/master/CarpentryCon-2018/Sessions/2018-05-30/01-Skill-Up-1-Project-Leadership/Abstract.md

(an extra "CarpentryCon-2018" has been added to the path)

Regular meetings (once a month) - second Friday at 11:00am GMT

@annefou to do this

For debriefing information after CarpentryCon, we've put together a Google doc to capture what we did, what worked and what could be improved.

It's organized in sections of the different categories of what was done. This document will be a basis for a CarpentryCon cookbook and also help future organizing committees. After capturing ideas, we can also turn things to into github issues to follow up on as needed.

Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sm1saUP6gtSkBrhTBE_8LKmK_PMaEmp_UUkx9WOW4oA/edit#

Please add thoughts for debriefing, particularly for the different areas that you worked on!

Bring a lesson you're working on and turn it into a Carpentry style lesson

Comment here if you're taking a topic or to offer suggestions.

Turns out, in Ireland you need Euro’s!

As a BoF or a side session? About an hour?

A satellite or breakout session at the CarpentryCon for the current/potential/interested users of HPC cluster, for use as the starting point to identify a target audience who could collaboratively develop lessons and teaching materials with Alan O'Cais.

Arguments for this:
• As the demand for scientists compute resources grow, many will eventually need to use HPC resources as their workhorse. This is motivation behind https://github.com/swcarpentry/hpc-novice , where the current lesson addresses users of HPC facilities
• Obviously many larger HPC sites already give an introduction to their own resources but many smaller sites could benefit from well-constructed, open source material
• There is currently a gap in the HPC space for collaboratively developed, open source training material (and Software Carpentry can act as a lightning rod for those who do have material to contribute)
• There is huge scope for lessons beyond a simple introduction on how to interact with resources, but the first step is do this part well and generate more interest/collaborators

extra session slow with the opportunity to pitch your content for this session at the lightning talks

When the recording will be available?

What is the function of this repo (within the Carpentries GitHub organization) compared to the repos within the CarpentryCon GitHub organization (https://github.com/carpentrycon)/

We should consolidate moving/merging information to avoid duplication and potential errors.

Tagging @acrall

@anenadic @annefou After the initial review #138 and fixing all the issues, release the website by the first week of June 2020.

@sstevens2 Raise the use of the main carpentrycon GitHub repo to track issues for all subcommittees (need labels for individual subcommittees and ‘carpentrycon2020’ for the current conference, permissions too for adding labels and assigning tasks).
