Add new curriculum variants to 'Beyond the Standard Workshop'

[ccronje]

Add new curriculum variants to 'Beyond the Standard Workshop' in order to pilot / seek feedback from LC community.

Variant Workshops (Menus):

• Intro to Library Carpentry > OpenRefine
  Context about how this is a good combination for pilots and workshops connected with conferences and other events...
• Intro to Git > Unix Shell > OpenRefine > SQL
  Context about core data analysis...

Future menus as lessons mature LibraryCarpentry/governance#14 (comment)

In curricula descriptions, include 'parts' to reinforce flexibility in how they can be taught LibraryCarpentry/governance#15

Hi @PhilReedData, what do you think about adding a new section after Parts vs Days called Curricula to outline the different options? For example:

Curricula

In response to strengthening the LC community, the Curriculum Advisory Committee have been exploring the addition of new and popular curricula. The table below includes two new curricula beyond the standard workshop. As more lessons reach the stable status, we will include the new curricula in The Carpentries workshop request form and LC lessons.

Curriculum	Description	Lesson menu	Total time estimated
Library Carpentry Standard Workshop	Core lessons	1) Introduction to Working with Data, 2) The Unix Shell, 3) OpenRefine, 4) Introduction to Git	2 days
Library Carpentry Introduction	A good combination for pilots and workshops connected with conferences and other events	1) Introduction to Library Carpentry, 2) OpenRefine	Half day
Library Carpentry Data Analysis Core	An introduction to data analysis and good practices including versioning, cleaning, automation, manipulation, and structured queries	1) Introduction to Git, 2) The Unix Shell, 3) OpenRefine, 4) SQL	2 days
Custom	Design your own workshop to suit your local needs	Select from https://librarycarpentry.org/lessons/	Estimate total time from lesson schedules e.g. https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-shell/

Hi @ccronje, that looks great. I think you have covered all the relevant and necessary information in a relatively small space, just what we need.

I had not considered what updates the Carpentries workshop request form might require. Is there more work required for the request form to reflect what we will be advertising with these curricula?

@ccronje this looks like a great table 👍 only comment i have is to include "and/or" under the standard lesson menu as well as in parentheses (must include three of the four lessons) or similar. this looks great though!

@PhilReedData i think once you have this squared away you/Carmi/all CAC members need to write team@carpentries.org, direct them to this curriculum list, and ask how the workshop offerings can be updated via the workshop request form and other related material. Likely, that will be on their end to resolve. The CAC's role is to advise them of a decision (but they may ask you for help with making these changes).

Thanks @PhilReedData @libcce, @libcce I've included your note in #18 - once the PR is merged I'll send an email to the carpentries team and copy in the CAC.
