The first step is to schedule events on Eventbrite. All steps are detailed in the [Scheduling courses with Eventbrite GitHub Issue template]().
More than 2 weeks prior to each session, a few emails need to be scheduled and the blackboard session created. All steps are detailed in the Schedule emails for next session GitHub Issue template. One issue should be opened per session and the tasks completed.
To prepare for each session, materials created during the previous session need to be cleared or deleted. All steps are detailed in the Prepare materials for next session GitHub Issue template. Each instructor (lead and support) should open an individual issue and complete the instructions.

The workshop materials website template is based on the hugo-theme-learn, reveal-hugo Hugo themes and further work and configuration by Maëlle Salmon for her course site on Scientific blogging with R Markdown.
