Perfect! How was the Carpentry? Any interesting feedbacks for organising this our workshop? Fillippo

[yrafiq]

Hi Fillippo, The workshop was a great success, the general feedback I received by talking with individuals was they found it very useful and I hope to use what they learnt into their work. I feel those who attended the carpentry workshop will find our workshop very useful. Regards, Yasmin

We are publishing feedback from sticky notes at https://github.com/StAResComp/2019-09-23-standrews/wiki - please have a look.

Also, thanks @fabbondanza for the questionnaire - I have printed it and collected about a dozen of filled in forms at the end of the workshop.

Hi all, Should we schedule a meeting to follow-up on the workshop? I will leave on the 14th for a conference, so either next week or the week after that I should be free. Best, Have a nice weekend, Filippo
