Launching the geocomputing coffee

by Ludovic Räss

☕ What is the geocomputing coffee about?

The geocomputing coffee aims at an informal get-together with people interested in – or curious about – the geocomputing thematic. The idea is to provide a relaxed venue to exchange and learn about computational-related topics and share your latest advances or discuss technical issues.

Find most of the material presented during the geocomputing coffee on GitHub https://github.com/Unil-SGC/geocomputing-coffee.

🎉 Welcome

As a first get-together, the goal of this meeting is to:

  • (Re)-introduce briefly the Swiss Geocomputing Centre (SGC)
  • Introduce the activities we plan to offer within the SGC geocomputing coffee
  • Provide a hands-on about version control and reproducible science using good-practices and tools for software carpentry.

💻 Hands-on

During this first meeting, we will also cover the following technical topics:

  • demo about the basics of using git, GitHub, and Julia
  • syncing local and remote repos using git
  • running interactively on Curnagl GPU node

What's next?

Stay tuned (joining the SGC Discord server) about future geocomputing coffee! We plan to gather bi-weekly most probably on Thursday, 10h30 - 11h30 or 12h15 - 13h15.
