We are the https://coderefinery.org project and provide training, such as our workshop on Git, testing, documentation, and collaboration and e-Infrastructure for research software development.
Jupyter Notebooks: Code meets documentation
Wish your code could explain itself? With #Jupyter , it can! 📝🪄
Combine code, text, and visuals in one place—perfect for research, teaching, and sharing insights.
📅 Discover the magic of Jupyter in our workshop: https://coderefinery.github.io/2025-03-25-workshop/
Documentation: Write it down, save future you
Struggling to remember what your own code does? Imagine how others feel! 😅
Good #documentation makes your code usable, shareable, and way less frustrating. Let’s make it happen.

Team meeting summary 2024-09-30
Busy autumn! Preparing for the build systems workshop and hackathon.
We also realized that it might soon be time to start scheduling 2025 workshops and so that we can plan other events around them.
We collected few themes which we should revisit during topical weekly meetings.
Team meeting summary 2024-09-23
We are post-processing the recent online workshop. Next steps
will be to write a short blog post on lessons learned and to document all improvements into manuals, issues, and templates, so that we have this knowledge available next time we run such an event.
Today we also discussed that the more senior instructors can in future focus more on mentoring new instructors. Train-the-trainer workshop could happen "in passing" while we onboard and mentor.
