Welcome!

[githubteacher]

@bnferguson and @sachinr are looking forward to visiting Copenhagen in a few weeks to take everyone through an introduction to Git and GitHub. In order to help us make the session as valuable as possible to all attendees, please leave a comment below with the following information:

• Your Git/GitHub experience
• You goals for the session (it's okay if you don't know)
• Best thing to do in your home town

No experience yet, no certain goal (except for getting to know Git/GitHub of course), watch FC Basel 1893 play Champions League

[stefanfk]

my experiences are quite basic so far. I already got an account and I have a local GitHub Client installed. a better understanding of GitHub would be great and especially some ideas how it may be used within the context of research data. sailing on the Kiel fjord, even if I am a beginner.

Hi!

I have some previous, very basic, experience of using git. When I was writing my master's thesis, I used it for version control and backup. Recently I have also been doing some work with git and GitHub in my work, submitting translations to OJS.

I look forward to learn more and deepen my knowledge of git and GitHub.

Best thing to do in Malmö is probably to go to the Kallbadhuset bathhouse in the winter, where you can take a cold bath in Öresund and then get warm again in the sauna.

Hi, I haven´t used Github before other than to follow projects and download material. My goal would be to learn how to use it in the context of managing a software development project.

The best thing to do in my hometown: start by drinking a pisco sour and then you will have plenty of fun ideas afterwards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisco_Sour :)

Looking forward to learn more about it though!

• No experience with GitHub yet
• To get to know it and be able to present it reasonable well to others
• Friday night skate with beers and music is always great fun (http://www.fns-cph.dk/)

Hi, except for downloading repositories and reading documentations I have no experience with Github. I want to know in which ways Github can support my daily work. In my adopted home town you can chill at one of the lake sides of our many lakes. Or do a kayak trip through the city.

Greetings from Leipzig!

[emmawojda]

Hi, I have some very basic knowledge on GitHub, and I expect to learn how to get the most out of it when not working as a full-time developer. In Stockholm, just walking or running along the water through town is beautiful.

Hi #DST4L & GitHub teachers,

• been following great projects and source code put up on GitHub for a while, but would like to get insights in how to extract data and work w. open code in a meaningful way to be able - to some extent - to participate in the progress of Open Data.
• best time spent in CPH is hanging out on a summer night outside one of the Mikkeler Brothers Brewery Bars (http://mikkeller.dk/locations/) See you soon. Take care / Michael Svendsen (Copenhagen University Library)

[JeannetteE]

Hello #DST4L and GitHub Teachers.

• No experience with GitHub at all - really looking forward to get an understanding
• As a Librarian I really look forward to the DST4L training days - and I hope the knowledge I obtain can come into action. At least I promised to share all my experiences to colleagues that cannot attend the days at DTU in September

[bitoiu]

Hello everyone,

I'm very happy to be representing GitHub at #DST4L training days with @bnferguson. I'm really keen on meeting you all and share our experiences.

See you all very soon :smile:

:octocat: :heart:

Hi,

I don't have any experience with GitHub, looks very interesting though. In Copenhagen go to Oysters & Grill (http://cofoco.dk/da/restauranter/oysters-and-grill/) for great seafood and steaks

Hi. I have experience with git and other version control systems (even SCCS lol) out of curiosity, but I have too little experience of teamwork with git/GitHub. I'm hoping to get more experience on that side at some point, but at DSL4L I hope to gain understanding about what it would be like to store data, not code, on git/GitHub or VCS in general.

I've lived in Copenhagen since last Sunday. The best thing to do here is to help me find a home, preferably a flatshare with some reasonable people in Nørrebro, Vesterbro, Østerbro or Ama'r, in 4000-4500dkk range. I'm a nice and considerate flatmate, merrily studying at the Royal School of Information Sciences (RSLIS=IVA) at Copenhagen University, and also at the IT&Cognition -programme, I'm on exchange from University of Tampere School of Information Sciences. Male, from Helsinki ex-librarian, future researcher/freelancer/awesome science dude. Thanks, I appreciate your help :smile:

[efgramsbergen]

No experience, except hearing from other people that it's very handy and looking at some of their screens. Had plans already to have a go at it, so this course comes in handy. Goal: learn the concepts behind it and how to use it. In Delft: climb to the top of main church tower. Afterwards, drink beer in one of the many cafes as a reward. And don't buy Delft Blue, it's only for tourists and it's a ripoff.

[Bunnymand]

Hi There DST4L and GitHubTeachers,

Looking forward to next week

• No experience with GitHub
• Hope to be able to judge if this is something that could have a place in a pharmaceutical company information centre focused on innovation and early science
• In Copenhagen - Take the free Harbour bus, get off at each stop and find a café/bar and have a drink or snack - Enjoy the trip, the drinks and the many different neighbourhoods in Copenhagen !

Best Lars

• Not a lot of experience, but have found a lot of good code there.
• To be able to utilize GitHub as repository for both sharing own and using other peoples code.
• Aalborg: A walk along the harbor area

[danielpryn]

• No experience with GitHub
• No specific project in mind but looking forward to hear more

[AnnaritaBarbaro]

Hi all!

• No experience with GitHub

Hello everyone :smile:

The agenda has been updated and a few pre-requirements were added to the project's home page: https://github.com/githubteacher/dst4l-sept2015

[PhillipDenmark]

Hi,

I have just created an account for GitHub so I have no experience.

I hope I will be able to use GitHub to find useful scripts and code and to share ideas with people who have an interest in data sources, web scrapping, automation, data cleaning, data exploration, analysis, visualization etc.

One of my favorite things to do is to go around Copenhagen by bike. I would suggest that you rent some electric bikes on Gobike/Bycyklen and explore Copenhagen in detail. You should at least try it for ten minutes, which you can do for free!

[ajobmann]

Hi all!

No experience with GitHub I would like to see if I can use it somehow at work

[elektrobohemian]

hej!

• my experience is limited but I know the concepts as I have used SVN before
• my current perspective on git is a manager's one as all of our devs use it
• in berlin: try not to be overrun by hipsters ;-)

[Ksprbgh]

No Git/GitHub experience at all. Goal - to learn more about Git/Github- and to not be scared of all the stuff cool, rich and beautiful techies do with the data. To do in Copenhagen. Join me Sunday at four pm for the FC Copenhagen vs Aalborg game at Parken. Lots of beer and lots of disillusioned old men like me.

[vcruzdelvalle]

Hi everyone!

-Just joined GitHub, so this is basically my first encounter with it. -Hopefully being able to incorporate it into my work -Simply take a trip around Copenhagen (by bike of course. You can rent a bike several places), enjoy a stroll along the lakes combining Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, Nørrebro and Østerbro. Grab lunch at a café/restaurant with outdoor seating and enjoy the vibrant city. Looking for something to do this Friday? Take an evening out and visit the amusement park from 1843, Tivoli Gardens. Danish band Quadron will be playing there at 10pm, bonus!

[mosart]

• XP: 0
• GL: learning the reason why this important, and why I should tell people about it. Handson experience with setting up git locally for syncing commits.
• best thing in my home town: Utrecht [www.dbpedia.org/resource/Utrecht] ; visit the Dom tower and enjoy the magnificent view. Because of the building height restrictions no building is allowed to be built higher than this 112 meter high Medieval bel tower, which gives an open view of the Netherlands. With good weather you can see the skylines of Amsterdam, and even if you are lucky Rotterdam and The Hague. Afterwards, as a bonus, go to Kafe België to choose from a wide spectrum of special beers origitating from Belgium, and local micro breweries. Enjoy!

Hi there,

No experience at all ! My goal is to be more familiar with this tool.

Hi everyone,

@bnferguson and I would like to thank you all again for the participating and being so active in the Git/GitHub marathon today at the DTU.

In total you've opened 21 pull requests using the Pull and Fork model. Given that most of you never heard of version control before today, being able to grasp all these concepts to a point where you were able to do all of the following, by yourselves, within 15 minutes is mind blowing to @bnferguson and myself:

• Fork
• Clone on Desktop
• Create branch
• Change and commit a file
• Sync
• Create a pull request

Thank you very much! For those that had their pull requests merged (check your notifications), you'll be able to see your edits live at: http://githubteacher.github.io/octo-recipes/ :smile:

If you with to learn more about GitHub our documentation is pretty good, but if you want you can also cc @bitoiu in your issues and pull requests and I'll try to help as much as possible.

[emmawojda]

@bitoiu Thank you for the good introduction yesterday - the way you taught it made it feel really easy, and we were able to reproduce again today :smile:

[bitoiu]

Hi @emmawojda, very glad to hear that! You have great speakers today which helps as well :smile: :+1:
