Scheduling courses with Eventbrite on 2024-02-05 / 2024-02-06 for @ns-rse

The lead instructor needs to schedule events on Eventbrite using the RSE Sheffield organisation. If you have not already been setup as an administrator for this you should request to be included by another team member (see RSES Handbook for further details).

NB - The easiest approach is to copy an existing event. From the page listing events select Past and click on the three dots to the right of a past event and select Copy Event. Edit the title to remove Copy of and update the dates and times.

Basic Info

The following fields should be entered into each field on the Basic Info page.

Event Title	Git & GitHub through GitKraken - from Zero to Hero!
Organiser	RSE Sheffield
Type	Class, Training, or Workshop

Schedule

If the course is split over two days then you should still have selected Single Event as selecting repeating events results in people being able to register for individual sessions rather than signing up once for both. This is a current short-coming of Eventbrite.

Details

A banner can be added to the event, some sample images are under the resources/ directory of this repository, but if you have copied a past event this will already be in place.

The following fields should be entered into each field on the Details page (they can be copy and pasted from a past event).

How can we effectively work together on the same code? This is an introductory course, teaching the git and GitHub skills required to manage research code over it’s development lifecycle. These skills are essential for collaborative research teams. This event is for University of Sheffield researchers and research students only. Please register with an @shef.ac.uk or @sheffield.ac.uk email address to ensure your ticket request is accepted.

**Prerequisite skills***: Some programming experience.

Learning Objectives

Version controlling your own project through Git & GitHub.

Basic collaboration through forks on GitHub.

Advanced team collaboration through branches on GitHub.

Using the GitKraken GUI for a smooth version control experience.

This course will be run online.

We are delighted to be able to make free at point of use training available to the research community, to enable better software and more open, reproducible research. However, free at point of use training is not free. The cost of a course can easily run to thousands of pounds, if preparation costs are taken into account.

If you sign up for a course, please make sure you either attend or cancel your booking. Bookings can usually be cancelled using eventbrite.com or, failing that, by emailing rse@sheffield.ac.uk.

Running courses that are not fully attended wastes our funding (which is provided by taxpayers, charities and students, amongst others) and reduces our collective capacity to improve research outputs and researcher experiences.

Persistent failure to attend booked courses might result in you being excluded from future training opportunities.

If we can do anything to make our courses more accessible for you to attend, please send suggestions to rse@sheffield.ac.uk; the Sheffield RSE Team are committed to making our training as accessible to a wide range of researchers as possible.
