Welcome!

@bnferguson and @sachinr are looking forward to visiting Copenhagen in a few weeks to take everyone through an introduction to Git and GitHub. In order to help us make the session as valuable as possible to all attendees, please leave a comment below with the following information:

• Your Git/GitHub experience
• You goals for the session (it's okay if you don't know)
• Best thing to do in your home town

No experience yet,
no certain goal (except for getting to know Git/GitHub of course),
watch FC Basel 1893 play Champions League

my experiences are quite basic so far. I already got an account and I have a local GitHub Client installed.
a better understanding of GitHub would be great and especially some ideas how it may be used within the context of research data.
sailing on the Kiel fjord, even if I am a beginner.

Hi!

I have some previous, very basic, experience of using git. When I was writing my master's thesis, I used it for version control and backup. Recently I have also been doing some work with git and GitHub in my work, submitting translations to OJS.

I look forward to learn more and deepen my knowledge of git and GitHub.

Best thing to do in Malmö is probably to go to the Kallbadhuset bathhouse in the winter, where you can take a cold bath in Öresund and then get warm again in the sauna.

Hi, I haven´t used Github before other than to follow projects and download material. My goal would be to learn how to use it in the context of managing a software development project.

The best thing to do in my hometown: start by drinking a pisco sour and then you will have plenty of fun ideas afterwards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisco_Sour :)

Looking forward to learn more about it though!

• No experience with GitHub yet
• To get to know it and be able to present it reasonable well to others
• Friday night skate with beers and music is always great fun (http://www.fns-cph.dk/)

Hi,
except for downloading repositories and reading documentations I have no experience with Github. I want to know in which ways Github can support my daily work.
In my adopted home town you can chill at one of the lake sides of our many lakes. Or do a kayak trip through the city.

Greetings from Leipzig!

Hi,
I have some very basic knowledge on GitHub, and I expect to learn how to get the most out of it when not working as a full-time developer.
In Stockholm, just walking or running along the water through town is beautiful.

Hi #DST4L & GitHub teachers,

• been following great projects and source code put up on GitHub for a while, but would like to get insights in how to extract data and work w. open code in a meaningful way to be able - to some extent - to participate in the progress of Open Data.
• best time spent in CPH is hanging out on a summer night outside one of the Mikkeler Brothers Brewery Bars (http://mikkeller.dk/locations/)
  See you soon.
  Take care / Michael Svendsen (Copenhagen University Library)

Hello #DST4L and GitHub Teachers.

• No experience with GitHub at all - really looking forward to get an understanding
• As a Librarian I really look forward to the DST4L training days - and I hope the knowledge I obtain can come into action. At least I promised to share all my experiences to colleagues that cannot attend the days at DTU in September

Hello everyone,

I'm very happy to be representing GitHub at #DST4L training days with @bnferguson. I'm really keen on meeting you all and share our experiences.

See you all very soon 😄

❤️

Hi,

I don't have any experience with GitHub, looks very interesting though.
In Copenhagen go to Oysters & Grill (http://cofoco.dk/da/restauranter/oysters-and-grill/) for great seafood and steaks

Hi. I have experience with git and other version control systems (even SCCS lol) out of curiosity, but I have too little experience of teamwork with git/GitHub. I'm hoping to get more experience on that side at some point, but at DSL4L I hope to gain understanding about what it would be like to store data, not code, on git/GitHub or VCS in general.

I've lived in Copenhagen since last Sunday. The best thing to do here is to help me find a home, preferably a flatshare with some reasonable people in Nørrebro, Vesterbro, Østerbro or Ama'r, in 4000-4500dkk range. I'm a nice and considerate flatmate, merrily studying at the Royal School of Information Sciences (RSLIS=IVA) at Copenhagen University, and also at the IT&Cognition -programme, I'm on exchange from University of Tampere School of Information Sciences. Male, from Helsinki ex-librarian, future researcher/freelancer/awesome science dude. Thanks, I appreciate your help 😄

No experience, except hearing from other people that it's very handy and looking at some of their screens. Had plans already to have a go at it, so this course comes in handy.
Goal: learn the concepts behind it and how to use it.
In Delft: climb to the top of main church tower. Afterwards, drink beer in one of the many cafes as a reward. And don't buy Delft Blue, it's only for tourists and it's a ripoff.

Hi There DST4L and GitHubTeachers,

Looking forward to next week

• No experience with GitHub
• Hope to be able to judge if this is something that could have a place in a pharmaceutical company information centre focused on innovation and early science
• In Copenhagen - Take the free Harbour bus, get off at each stop and find a café/bar and have a drink or snack - Enjoy the trip, the drinks and the many different neighbourhoods in Copenhagen !

Best
Lars
