Details

• Software Engineering in Science is a new book being compiled under the guidance of Jeffrey Carver. The call for chapters closed on 15 June and chapter invitations should be sent out by 1 July.
• Greg Wilson wrote a post about the pain caused by Norway — or rather, what happens when you use the abbreviation 'no' in YAML.
• Fan Young posted a comprehensive review of the workshop at the National Cancer Institute. She provides some tips that may be very helpful for others running workshops at government institutes.

The post presents the experience from both the viewpoint of the remote instructor (Laurent Gatto) and the local instructors (David Merand, Anelda van der Walt) and shows again that remote workshops can be run successfully.
