workshop structure?

[sckott]

what do you want for workshop structure? do we do many exercises for participants, or mostly lecture style?

or is it up to each person?

[mskyttner]

Good question, today the participant list will be known (I haven't seen it yet but will soon get it from a colleague) and I hope to share some of the details about what kind of crowd that has signed up for the two days... perhaps this info can be used to shape the exercises...

I would suggest a combination of lecture style for some exercises complemented with exercises targeting the crowd. That way each person could demonstrate some uses of functionality provided within their area of expertise and from their own contributed packages and we would also make some efforts to adapt to the kind of use that would be relevant for the people attending.

Feel free to suggest and to deviate from the above!

I will open a new repo called exercises and put some brain-storming-materials into there to follow up on this....

[sckott]

agree that we should tailor the material for people attending.

Okay, so workshop materials into https://github.com/Open-Science-Nordics/workshop-materials

so the material in here https://github.com/Open-Science-Nordics/public-sector-open-science/tree/master/presentations-from-markus is for your talk on the 23rd?

[mskyttner]

I just got the list of attending people and will shortly summarize it an then I'll put that info in https://github.com/Open-Science-Nordics/workshop-materials/blob/master/README.md soon.

For now, I just initiated the three presentations I'm scheduled for on all days ie 23rd, 24th and 25th and put it on that link you mentioned above but perhaps I think after reading your question that I should move the presentations related to the workshop days over to the workshop-materials repo...

In addition, I was thinking that I should perhaps publish my web slides to rpubs.com, too... I have used that before for some web slides presentations, which are open available at https://rpubs.com/mskyttner

Or is there a better place for where to publish the web slides? I guess perhaps using the GitHub "gh-pages" feature could be an option?

[sckott]

Yeah, gh-pages would work, sounds good.

[mskyttner]

Ok aiming for gh-pages then!

Here is some info on the audience for the 2 day workshop: https://github.com/Open-Science-Nordics/workshop-materials/blob/master/README.md#audience

And here is some info about the audience that signed up for the first day, for the symposium:

https://github.com/Open-Science-Nordics/public-sector-open-science#audience

I get the feeling that this audience will probably be quite interested in international trends of Open Science, reproducible research and the rationale of the method and collaboration style etc. Those type of topics at a conceptual level rather than at very great detail. In Sweden the concept "Open Data" is quite often heard, but "Open Science" is used more rarely.

The participants in the 2 day workshop are more hands on and the group is about half the size of the crowd at the 1st day symposium.
