Post-meeting Software Bootcamp
CSDMS is proud to announce that we will have a Software Carpentry Bootcamp associated with the Annual Meeting. We will offer the first clinic on our last meeting day and then have a full extra day on Friday April 23rd, 2014.
A bootcamp is an on-site workshop, in our case 1 or 1,5 day long that covers the core computer and programming skills needed to be a productive data analyzer or model user/developer in a small research team:
- the Unix shell (and how to automate repetitive tasks);
- Python (and how to grow a program in a modular, testable way);
- Git and GitHub (and how to track and share work efficiently);
Software Carpentry is a volunteer organization whose goal is to make scientists more productive, and their work more reliable, by teaching them basic computing skills. We will be bringing in their experienced instructors especially for these courses.
Computing is now an integral part of every aspect of science, but most scientists are never taught how to build, use, validate, and share software well. As a result, many spend hours or days doing things less sufficient. The software carpentry organization’s goal is to change that so that scientists can spend less time wrestling with software and more time doing useful research. Short tutorials alternate with hands-on practical exercises; learners work on their own laptops using either native software or a virtual machine, so that they have a working environment when the bootcamp is done.
Your registration fees of $40 for this camp include full access to all the clinic modules (Unix, version control and Python programming) and won't be reimbursed. It also includes coffee and lunch on Friday 23rd, 2014. Note that CSDMS will not be able to cover your additional hotel night.
Participants
Interested to see who registered for the meeting?
Reimbursement
Within its budget, CSDMS intends to support member applicants to attend the annual meeting. Towards this goal, we encourage members to fully or partially cover their expenses if capable. We additionally thank those in the industry and agency fields for understanding that 1) we cannot compensate federal agency participants since our own funding is from NSF, and 2) we request that our industrial/ corporate participants cover their own costs thereby allowing more academic participants to attend.
To the extent possible, CSDMS intends to reimburse the registration fee, lodging (shared rooms at 100% and single rooms at 50% at Millennium Harvest House Hotel), and a limited amount of travel expenses of qualified registrants - those members who have attended all three days of the meeting and are not industry or federal employees.
Registration fee, lodging and possible additional travel costs for the one day Post-meeting Software Bootcamp will not be reimbursed.
Important for foreign travelers requesting reimbursement: If you need a visa to travel to USA, select a business visa. If you need an invitation letter, please email csdms@colorado.edu soonest. Also indicate whether specific wording is required in the letter. Second, we will need to copy the entry stamp in your passport sometime during the meeting as proof that you were here on business as required by US tax laws for reimbursement (especially when dealing with airfare.)
Travel, Lodging and Conference Center Information
The meeting will be held at UCAR Conference Center
Lodging for meeting participants is at the Millennium Harvest House Hotel
Please visit the CSDMS contact page for advice on ways to reach Boulder from the Denver Airport.
Student Scholarships
