I could come up at some point, but am an SFU grad (SFU Biological Sciences, woo hoo!), not currently there :) There's a few things I could instruct:

• Continuous Integration for your (R) Markdown papers, making sure your analysis is right every time based on this blog post.
• Spatial data with leaflet
• Working with (postgres and graph) databases in R
• Tips and tricks for regular expressions in R (and bash). Could work through something like this post, where I show how to use regex to automatically install R libraries for a project.

What do you mean an SFU grad?!? Are you doing a second PhD??? or did you mean alumnus??

[razoumov]

I could do Chapel parallel programming (overview of the language, not teach it in one hour), anything on 3D visualization (ParaView, VisIt), sci-vis with plotly, advanced bash (functions, scripting), very brief intro to HPC.

Hi, I would like to lead a workshop and talk about analyzing data using R. In Fall 2017, I had already led a workshop on cleaning data using R.

I could also host a version control and git for R workshop, basic data analysis/introduction to using Jupyter for Python, and setting up your first linux environment/intro to linux. All would be structured towards a beginner's level.

Until the next, Lisa N. Cao

@SimonGoring @razoumov @NaSed @lisancao: You are awesome! If each of you could lead one workshop, that would be great! If so, could you indicate your date preferences (first come, first served)? We will create individual GitHub issues for each of your workshops and we can finalize the topic and description there. Thanks all!

[razoumov]

Hi Bruno,

Put me in for Oct-23.

Thanks,

Alex.

Hi Bruno,

Nov 6 works for me. Thank you.

I am happy to do that part @brunogrande, as I offered during our meeting, if this is still ok with you?

[lisancao]

Hi Bruno,

September 25 is the most likely date right now. I'm currently trying to work out some scheduling conflicts though, but I'll make time for it. Will let you know ASAP if I need to change in the next week or two. Thanks.

Lisa

@prosoitos: I would love your help with that! I have blocked out the requested dates in the schedule above. You can proceed with creating new GitHub issues for each workshop and separately flesh out the details there.

[Mostafa-ebrahimi]

Hi Bruno,

So sorry for the prolonged delay. I can lead version control, git and Introduction to database systems and Big Data. Please put me in Dec. 18 . Thank you so much.

Cheers, Mostafa

Ok, great. I will post the issues about the workshops.

In order to do so however, I need everybody's full names. But sharing private info in here (which is a public space) is not the best. I still think that using Gitter for organization, exchange of private info, and some discussion is a good idea. I created a Gitter account right after our first meeting for sciprog-sfu. But most of you are not in it yet. Without your email addresses, I can't invite you directly. Bruno: you created a google group, but I don't have access to it. And as a result, the email addresses of everybody in that group are hidden from me, including when you email us. Most of you also don't have your email address visible in your GitHub profile.

So it would be really helpful if all of you could follow this link and join the public part of our Gitter group and if @brunogrande could send me an email with everybody's email addresses (and full names since we are at it) so that I could invite you to the admin page, which is private. There, we'll be able to exchange more private info if/when needed. And with people's full names, I'll be able to open the issues following sciprog's format.

Most of you had a list of suggestions of workshops you could give. Not urgent yet, but try to pick one in the list and commit to it for the date you offered.

Thank you all!!
