🚀🌟 Welcome to The Turing Way! We're so glad to have you here! 🌟 🚀

The Turing Way is a community-led resource for reproducible, open, collaborative, and inclusive data science. Created by over 400 contributors, The Turing Way uses open source tools to enable people to collaboratively write chapters, build and maintain resources, as well as share their skills and ideas around best practices. Core to this is the version control tool, Github which supports The Turing Way’s collaborative practices.

Workshop Information

Date: Wednesday 31 January
Start time: 15:00 | End time: 16:00
Workshop Slides

In this workshop, co-facilitators from The Turing Way Community will introduce participants to using GitHub as a tool to support collaborative documentation-writing and knowledge sharing.

They will discuss the importance of open community practices in building and maintaining collective resources, and learn about the importance of different roles in open source documentation communities like The Turing Way: including that of maintainers, reviewers, and translators.

Participants will gain hands-on experience in working collaboratively during the workshop by contributing to the The Turing Way project. A shared document will be used for collaborative note-taking, capturing feedback and learnings.

This training is being offered as a part of Book Dash: a week-long event of contributions and collaborations within The Turing Way community.

Pluses: What went well today?

  • Good sticking to time
  • Flexible schedule, allowed for introductions at the beginning

Deltas: What could have been improved?

  • Maybe add more info on working groups to the slides?
  • Plan time for presentations at the beginning, with some prompts like: what do you expect to get from this call? or a fun fact about yourself. maybe the icebreaker could be included as part of the spoken intro.

What went well today?
Everything went well for me.

What could have been better?
Next time , may be Organizing a workshop for those who might not feel comfortable using GitHub as a tool for contributing.

Really enjoyed the session today; thank you! It could be nice to have structured activities to give the space to Project Leads/Contributors/Working Groups to present what they're currently working on and how to join. Maybe have something like a Scavenger hunt as well to explore the different parts of the website (?) just to get folks familiar with the work...

Pluses: What went well today?
Really informative and friendly!

Deltas: What could have been improved?
Maybe add into the introduction/chat/framepad one thing that each participant would like to learn, and maybe some specific examples as part of the presentation

Pluses

Really good way to get to know other people who are part of the Turing Way community, and developing my knowledge

Deltas

A Workshop on Github skills support would definitely be useful.
I think I would love to know a bit more in depth from the Working Groups, so it might be useful to get some input from representatives of these groups (maybe they could contribute to a single slide, to have a one page quick definition)
