Summer Sprint Summary

• Lots of progress on a tool to manage administration of Software Carpentry bootcamps.
• New Data Carpentry lessons on Excel, social science examples, and Pandas.
• Some capstone examples for Software Carpentry, including bioinformatics lessons in R and Python, an oceanography lesson, and a lesson on medical imaging.
• Some data visualization examples that will be used in lesson on how to choose a visualization, and a lesson on using ggplot2 in R.
• "Why would you learn X?" slides for Python and R.
• A "training wheels" profile for the IPython Notebook that novices can use in workshops.
• Lots of smaller fixes and reviews.

There's lots more on the MSL blog, including content mining tools to unlock scientific literature, progress on the Open Access Button, and a first crack at using package managers for lessons (see this post from Raniere Silva for more information). Our thanks to everyone who took part, and to everyone who helped organize and run the event—we look forward to working with you all again soon.
