Our website template seems to support that. If you prefer that over a) watching this repo, or b) being invited to an Outlook series event, please 👍 this.

If you prefer b) please send me your e-mail address.

Everyone brings a several years old coding project and we update it together. Atom & Teletype, or Floobits could be helpful here for simultaneous typing into the same code. Or, we simply pass the keyboard around.

Attendees on Nov. 26th: 5

Bring your research data and software problems, questions or ideas! We discuss and define the more specialised topics for the next weeks.

• Where: Grunwaldhaus, ground floor meeting room, right beside the entrance
• When: 2018-09-26, 16:00
• Skill level: everyone

Installation instructions: none.

Related to #31. We have announced a few coworking sessions, but it seems tedious to make a new post for each one.

We could also add some default text like every Wednesday, 16-18:00: coworking at Grunwald-Haus, unless other topic and location are listed.

What do you think?

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

• Please be very specific here. 1, 2 or 3 are not too few.
• Not just "learn about ...", but specific practical skills.
• The issue title can be catchy, but should include the tool, main skill, etc.
• Aim to fill 1 hour max. We need time for installation, discussion, etc.

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

We are going to get you started with Python using the Spyder Integrated Development Environment and teach basic Python data types and concepts like functions, loops and flow control.

To give you an idea what Python Scripting can be used for, we are going to solve a typical data-related problem: You downloaded some raw data from the internet as zip archives and need to extract them all before actually being able to start with data analysis.
Hence, we will write a small Python script to automate the extraction of data from a couple of zip archives for different climate stations.
During session #9 two weeks later, we'll have a look at how we can do some first analyses of some of these data.

What do participants need to know / install / bring?

• Own laptop with Anaconda already installed
• Data for the session can be downloaded here
  Original data source: Deutscher Wetterdienst, Climate Data Center
• No prior Python knowledge is needed.

attendees on Oct. 17th: 8

Wait for first library relevant event, or already for #10 & #11?

If the current timeslot does not fit your schedule, please suggest a better fitting one here & vote on the other suggestions.

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

• How an R function is structured
• RStudio shortcuts to create them
• Which pieces of documentation are minimally necessary

We'll use the TIB's FAIR-R lesson (based on Software Carpentry's R novice)

What do participants need to know / install / bring?

• their own computer with RStudio installed
• optional: R scripts that have no functions yet or whose functions they want to improve, document & test

Recommended additional resources

1. R for Data Science > Functions
2. Advanced R > Functions
3. R Packages > Organising your functions

Hi,

after the title of the event, there are two , followed by the date. I think this should only be one ,. It's probably because something in the session file was left out, e.g. the location and the template does not know how to deal with this.

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

Learn about packaging R/python software and its dependencies using some of the following tools:

• packrat
• miniCRAN
• conda
• docker

What do participants need to know / install / bring:

Install the tools mentioned above and bring a notebook.

In order to be accepted as an event, each suggestion needs to:

• receive 3 or more positive reactions
• be assigned to someone who will lead the event

then, a PR can be started against the _posts folder to include a YYYY-MM-DD-event-title.markdown file to actually schedule event.

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

• progress through a "fix typo" contribution workflow in parallel on the CLI & GUI
• provide a 3rd step in Git understanding after https://av.tib.eu/media/32224 & https://av.tib.eu/media/37825

@ everyone please add more questions

What do participants need to know / install / bring?

• click through https://slides.com/katrinleinweber/deck/ to see the most common commands in both CLI & GUI

What next? Upvote this topic. It will be scheduled when a) 3 or more people upvoted and b) it has an assignee. If you want to teach this topic, please say so. To schedule the event, create a new file in the _posts folder, copy this template's filename and content and fill in the new event metadata.

If you attend regularly and see yourself as a helper, please consider adding yourself to _data/members.yml.

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

What is object oriented programming and what kinds of oop exist?
Which classes does R offer? (focus on S3, S4 and R6)
When would one use oop?

What do participants need to know / install / bring?

A computer with R + sloop + R6.

In order to offer events specific to solving those problems.

We'll walk through some examples of how to convert bars to boxes and how to create slopegraphs (explanation). Where necessary, we'll learn how to restructure the underlying datasets. Bring your own data or plots, and we'll practice applying the Grammar of Graphics to them, using R & ggplot2.

Attendees on Dec. 5th: 5

These sessions / events are open to any kind of topic, question, problem, idea, etc. around research data or software.

Attendance on Oct.24th: 7

What are those? What are they useful for? How do I construct and use them?

Bring your own code, data, texts, etc. and we'll try to find edge-cases of your regular expressions' matching false positives or not matching false negatives.

What are the learning objective(s)?

• understanding the basic concept of character classes & sets
• constructing REs interactively in the playgrounds
• using REs in their offline editor of choice

This event is ready to be (re)scheduled. Please vote: https://terminplaner4.dfn.de/CXPUzBakKd294cX6

Constructing your own for-loops is only rarely actually necessary. We'll learn about alternatives here. Bring your own code and let's de-loop it! Good introduction in German: Heise Developer: Weg mit den Schleifen!

@jkreklow had the idea of using good first issue to indicate an introductory event :-)

Since we don't need to funnel people from GitHub.com/TIBHannover through the N issue/s need/s help tag, shall we rename it to novices and add practitioners , experts or similar to indicate the target group?

I'm undecided about this. Mostly wanted to get the idea out of my head.

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

• Start building a personal package with a few functions (demo or own)
• Fill out the DESCRIPTION with rich metadata

What do participants need to know / install / bring?

1. You should have already written some R functions or at least one or the other R script.
   • if not, please see the demo functions linked above
2. Run install.packages('usethis') in the R console.
3. Windows users: Please download the latest Rtools.
