Minutes

Week of Oct 19-25: Greg to do a big editing pass on the RSE material - Oct 18 is a soft deadline for any other material you want to have edited as well.

Novice R:

  • publishing section merged,
  • Kate is adapting the Python "Getting Started" section
  • Luke will be taking another section
  • Elizabeth will edit the publishing section

Novice Python:

  • Madeleine to do interactive jupytext demo at next meeting (Jupytext: converts json to other formats: markdown, .py, etc. Plays nice with version control.)
  • Madeleine working on data manipulation comments

Intermediate:

  • Damien arranged RSE material in order and looked at how everything fits - ready for review
  • Damien revised his Git lesson - trimmed it down a bit, novice Git is assumed background
  • Python packaging to be assigned to Greg
  • Three project management files: Kate to review (Damien will assign Kate to issues)
  • Charlotte to do project structure section
    • what should go in README in data folder? Elizabeth has lots of material on this (CC-BY), so does Kate. Elizabeth will send Charlotte some stuff. Damien will assign to issues.

Discussion items:

  • Modularity discussion (#199): this is something to worry about later once order / content is more fixed.
  • Which voice to use in writing (#175): proposal to refer to the reader as "you" - we need to know this by Oct 18 but not urgent

Misc:

  • Request for next meeting (from Greg): what's the one thing that people really need to know that we haven't planned to cover? Example: how much social media do I have to do to be a "good scientist" these days? Any other peripheral topics that should be included? How to run a meeting, etc.
  • Need: 3 cover images, thematically connected, that we have appropriate permissions for, preferably that we took. Could be anything. If anyone has suggestions, bring forward!
  • What is the canonical R animal mascot?
  • Luke will be the convenor for the next meeting.
