de.KCD Training Material Hackathon

27 Nov 2025, 12:30 → 28 Nov 2025, 14:15 Europe/Berlin

N7-114 (Bielefeld University)

The goal of this event is to bring together all training materials developed within the de.NBI Cloud/de.KCD project and convert them into GTN-compatible formats. This will allow us to host them in the de.KCD Training-Materials repository and, eventually, make them available through the GTN.

In addition, we plan to hold discussion sessions on topics such as:
- Best practices for creating and maintaining FAIR training materials.
- Identifying potential topics for new tutorials and learning paths to be developed in the near future. 

We plan a lunch-to-lunch meeting in Bielefeld and we would be very grateful for your participation, both to share your expertise and—if you already have training materials or plan to develop some—to support you in formatting and publishing them in the de.KCD Training-Materials site.

On the first day, we set up the session to be joined also remotely via zoomed - even though that personal participation is preferred.
