A sea of green stickies: that really sums up the 28-29 September Brisbane Software Carpentry bootcamp—it ran extremely smoothly. We had 40 people signed up (with a waitlist of six) but lost one at the last minute to acute appendicitis—ouch—and another to project deadlines. The remaining 38 comprised post docs (7), Master's candidates (2), PhD candidates (19), research technical support (4), and four people from industry (one from an NGO and three from a virtual lab). We also had one undergrad (a first for us) and one very bright high school student.

Not a single negative was recorded about the people either teaching or helping out at the Brisbane Software Carpentry bootcamp last Thursday and Friday (2-3 July). There were a lot of positive comments though:

The workshop is great with passionate instructors
All the helpers in the room are very helpful and fun
Excellent support from helpers
Instructors readily available to help especially when falling behind or [we] need help understanding codes
