4 years ago Dear {first_name},
We're contacting you because you registered for the event {event_title}.
Congratulations on making it to CodeRefinery. We had about 135 people register before we closed it, and are able to take about 120. We are really excited to reach so many people at once, but to make this successful, we all need to prepare.
Most importantly, you need to make sure you have some software installed, configured, and verified. Don't underestimate the importance of this, even if you think you already have something installed. With so many people, this is even more important. Especially make sure that you verify your git installation and configuration for the first week. You can find software requirements on the course webpage: https://coderefinery.github.io/2020-10-20-online/#software-requirements
There are two times we have scheduled for you to connect and get help with software installation and configuration. If you have any doubts, please connect and we can verify in advance:
16.october (Fri) 10-11 CEST
19.october (Mon) 16-17 CEST
You will receive Zoom links for this closer to time.
If you have problems and can't make any of these, please contact us at support@coderefinery.orgIf you haven't already filled the pre-workshop survey, please do that as soon as possible since it helps us with workshop preparation: https://indico.neic.no/event/151/surveys/41
The workshop will be very focused on version control with Git. Some of you are already familiar with Git, but not all. While we will be starting from the basics, we will be progressing quickly so it's useful if you spend a few minutes to read up on the basic idea of Git. For this purpose, we have prepared this "refresher" material: https://coderefinery.github.io/git-refresher/ Note that this material also contains important Git configuration steps which all of you should go through before the workshop starts, to save valuable time during the workshop.
You will receive a Zoom link for the workshop in the next few days (at least before the pre-workshop installation verification).
Note the timezones! The workshop starts at 9:00 in Stockholm time, 10:00 Helsinki time. Please connect 10 minutes in advance.
