Running SunPy workshops

dpshelio commented 2 years ago

This can be online or in person, tight to a conference or independently.

Topics:

intro to git
intro to python
intro to sunpy

yes!

also we could run more advanced workshop elements too, including a full run though of doing event analysis or scientific analysis etc. We could also include a session on how to contribute to sunpy both by bug reports/issue requests and then do a hands-on run through of opening a PR and all that's involved including reviews/tests etc

A few thoughts on this:

I think, for sessions like those we've done at meetings (e.g. SPD) where they typically last 2-3 hours (max), we should have templates for either doing user-focused tutorials (i.e. doing some event analysis with SunPy as Laura suggests) or do a hands-on demo of contributing to SunPy (e.g. submit an issue, open a PR, testing)
To do both in a single session is probably too much
We could devise a plan for a more long-form workshop (e.g. over 2-3 days) in which we cover both of those things--how to be a user and how to make a contribution (not just code!)
This could be the basis for a larger "SunPy Summer School" curriculum
