Announcements of conferences, workshops, schools…

Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that the upcoming “Do Research Like a Munchkin” workshop (4th edition) about Clean Code and Agile Project Management will be organized online.
It will start on the 18th of October 2021 and will last 9 weeks. Participants will be asked to practice what they learn by working with a team on a small research project. The total effort requested to each team is less than 5 hours of work every week.

Details about the workshop can be found on the official website.

Summary: We are two Computational Physicists who moved out of academia to work in Software Development.
The workshop “Do Research Like a Munchkin” is our attempt to introduce computational researchers to our vision of how Scientific Computing can benefit from Software Development practices.

You can find the program here: https://the-munchkins.gitlab.io/do-research-like-a-munchkin/lectures/ 
The workshop will include the following topics:
- Introduction to Project Management: Waterfall vs Agile
- How to write stories, maintain a Backlog and work with a board
- Improve constantly with Retrospectives
- Agile best practices
- Tests and test-driven development
