uottawa is probably "easy" on a Saturday, less so (doors locked) on 
Sunday, and essentially impossible to book rooms other times due to 
regular needs.

When are the dates envisaged?

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

I would be interested in joining the instructor training, though I can't
guarantee teaching a course in the next 6 months.
