[OGRUG] software carpentry training in December
1) Yes, I'll definitely join! 2) Also yes. Unfortunately internet access is also terrible at my workplace (PHAC), otherwise I'd offer to host. I can reach out to some folks at uOttawa to see if we can use one of their seminar rooms.

Hi folks, The Software Carpentry group has announced a new round of R instructor training. This is a two-day workshop this December, aimed at proficient R users who wish to learn to train others to use R. They also work with Bash, Python, Git, SQL, and other tools useful in data analysis. The details are here: http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2015/10/call-for-instructor-training.html The training is free, but there is an expectation that instructors will host a 2-day training workshop for new R users at their own institution in the 6 months following the workshop. The training will actually be delivered via web conference, so we can 'attend' wherever we like, given we can get 6-8 people together with a reliable web connection. Questions for the list: 1. Is anyone interested (or know someone who might be) in joining me on an application to attend the instructor training? 2. If so, are you interested in hosting an R training course sometime next spring? I'm happy to coordinate this, or help to do so, however is useful. I can host here at Ag Canada (Carling Avenue), but another venue would be preferable as we have really spotty internet connection in our conference rooms. Best, Tyler -- plantarum.ca
