We will be socializing until 7:30am and then we'll do our usual LUG announcements and Linux in the News and talk about last weekend's Southern California Linux Expo. Presentations usually start at 8pm.
If we have at least 30 attendees, we will raffle off leftover booth swag. Every attendee gets a free ticket and you will be able to buy additional tickets at $1 apiece. Funds raised go towards SGVTech expenses, which are primarily Meetup fees and domain name and webhosting.
Topic
The open science movement calls for open sharing of research findings and greater trust, transparency, and reuseability in making claims and reporting results. A researcher-to-researcher training community known as Carpentry (Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and others) has emerged to prepare researchers to practice open science using more open and collaborative practices; open source tools; and openly licensed and distributed methods, data, code.
In this program, the Head of Research Services at the Caltech Library will describe the Carpentry movement; illustrate how lesson development and delivery takes place; and lead participants through a sample interactive lesson from Data Carpentry.
There will be an interactive lesson. Please bring a fully charged laptop.
Installation instructions and lesson outline will be posted ahead of time.
OpenX has guest wifi.
We will comment in the Meetup, if there are any updates.
