General Guidance
We welcome your contributed recording to the workshop. Here are a few general guidelines:
- Talks, discussions and interviews will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube: Your participation in the event signifies your consent to being recorded.
- Brevity is valued: Focus on the key ideas. Viewers can reach out to you via Slack for follow up.
- Keep all discussion positive and respectful: We are building a community of people with the common interest of improving scientific software through better developer productivity.
