Topics for cycle 2

As mentioned yesterday we're looking for topics/presenters for the next 3 study group sessions

Topics that I had identified as good candidates and the default if there are no other suggestions
5 Nov - StudyGroup and Git/Github
19 Nov - LaTeX
3 Dec - R: subsetting and intro dplyr
(17 Dec - SYKSA?) - might be too busy or close to Christmas

So looking forward to comments and/or volunteers

I reckon flag the 17th of December one. It will reinvigorate the StudyGroup next year as the 5 minute lightning SYSKAS are exciting.

Maybe 17 Dec becomes informal discussion/beers

I'm still recovering from dental surgery but I should be able to run (a basic refresher) on Git and Github next week. As discussed we'll use the example of adding yourself to the StudyGroup webpage.

Can we assume Software Carpentry (and having a GitHub profile) as a prerequisite or do we need to allow time to create profiles?

I'll be overseas in December so can't weigh in on then much. Maybe a less formal HackyHour meet up for anyone still in town?

I'd also stick to writing LaTeX stylised to be consistent and avoid confusion.

Good point about stylisation, updated the comment to reflect so

If we discuss this here, can I see it on my one.
