Finalizing the schedule

[hlapp]

A draft schedule is now posted on the wiki. Use this issue to comment on it, make suggestions, or to ask questions about it. Editing the schedule directly is fine too; if you do, please also add a note here so we all know.

I propose that we have time on the first day to talk about package development, classes in R, and how to use GitHub. Some of the people coming mentioned that they have not developed packages in R, and it's not clear to what extent people have used collaborative coding. Although I have collaborated on an R package, I still feel like my knowledge of package development and R classes is extremely limited.

Excellent idea! We could devote the latter part of the afternoon on the first day (and/or the morning of the second day) to "bootcamps", 30-60 minute crash-courses in some practices or technologies. I've posted your ideas under separate items (#10 and #11) and labeled with 'bootcamp idea', so we can collect them that way and then decide onsite which ones are needed, and when best to hold them.

Hi
Just to inform the other speakers of the first morning: my opening talk will try to illustrate which steps are the most difficult for the users from one example: broad scale genetic variation of the sugar beet and its wild relatives (1264 accessions x 4436 DART) (i.e. individual based analysis, genetic structure investigation, detection of the signal of selection in a correlative framework).
See you soon!

Thanks Stéphanie!

My talk will outline the issues I've been dealing with the most in
developing my package (strataG) and illustrate problems with importing data
and coding tests of population subdivision.

Excited to get rolling with everyone!

Cheers,
eric
