Reflections about serving at Software Carpentry Steering Committee in 2016

Published on December 12, 2016.

Last year I wrote a blog post talk about my activities on Software Carpentry Steering <../../../2015/12/11/swc> and I will do the same here for the 2016 term.

Assessment

I completely fail on this field but I discovered that assessment isn't just try to make sense to some data. During the Measuring the Impact of Workshops I learned from Beth Duckles that the way that you make the questions can impact on your results. At least this is one thing that the next Steering Committee doesn't need to worry to much since Data Carpentry now has a staff that is working on this issue.

On September 18th, I presented "Lessons learned from organising SciPy Latin America 2016" on PyCon UK 2016. You can find my slides here and a pre-transcript of my talk bellow.

Good afternoon!!!

My name is Raniere Silva and on this talk I will talk about what I learned when organising SciPy Latin America 2016 at the begin of this year. Before we went to the lessons learned I want to say five things about me.

Looking for a new phone

Published on September 3, 2016.

I don’t like to change phone every year but the world is against me. The power buton of my first Motorola broked around March 2014 and I brought a Firefox OS device. In 2015, Mozilla reduce their workforce around Firefox OS and I bricked my device in one of the updates what made me need to replace it with a Red Mi 2 Pro. My Red Mi 2 Pro doesn’t get 4G here in the UK and I’m considering buy a new phone.

I'm back ...
