| _Cross-posted, with minor changes of voice, from The Carpentries Blog post: | ||
| [__HPC Carpentry Enters Lesson Program Incubation__][announce]._ | ||
|
|
||
| We are thrilled to announce that [HPC Carpentry][hpcc] has entered Lesson | ||
| Program Incubation with [The Carpentries][carpentries]. This is another big | ||
| step towards the project joining Data Carpentry, Library Carpentry and Software | ||
| Carpentry as The Carpentries Lesson Program. | ||
|

| ## How You Can Get Involved | ||
|
|
||
| ### Help with Workshops | ||
|
|
||
| During Lesson Program incubation, the HPC Carpentry community will continue to | ||
| teach and gather feedback on their workshops. You can help with this! | ||
|
|
||
| If you are interested in teaching an HPC Carpentry workshop to your local | ||
| community, hosting a workshop taught by other Instructors, or getting involved | ||
| in an existing workshop as an Instructor or Helper, [HPC Carpentry wants to | ||
| hear from you](mailto:maintainers-hpc@lists.carpentries.org)! | ||
|
|
||
| ### Contribute to Lessons | ||
|
|
||
| HPC Carpentry is looking to expand its community of contributors to the | ||
| existing lesson projects. Many members of The Carpentries community will have | ||
| expertise and experience to bring to the project's lessons. During the | ||
| Incubation phase, HPC Carpentry will be establishing and polishing its core | ||
| curriculum, and you can help to guide the ongoing development of the lesson | ||
| program. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Tell Your Friends! | ||
|
|
||
| Do you know somebody who may be interested in contributing to HPC Carpentry, or | ||
| who could benefit from learning the skills it teaches? If so, tell them about | ||
| it and share the information below about how they can learn more and get | ||
| involved. | ||
|
|
||
| * __Contact:__ [maintainers-hpc@lists.carpentries.org](mailto:maintainers-hpc@lists.carpentries.org) | ||
| * __Website:__ [hpc-carpentry.org][hpcc] | ||
| * __Community Calls:__ 11:00 & 21:00 UTC on the first & third Thursdays of every month | ||

||
| ## More About HPC Carpentry | ||
|
|
||
| As computational power has exploded, and with it the size of problems that can | ||
| be solved computationally, High Performance Computing (HPC) has become | ||
| fundamental science lab equipment. _Not_ using HPC is likely to put you at a | ||
| disadvantage, but new users are often unable to engage because of the | ||
| complexity of HPC resources and the lack of formal curricula to teach HPC | ||
| skills. The mission of HPC Carpentry is to lower the barrier to entry to HPC | ||
| operations for a wide range of users, so that more learners can benefit from | ||
| the increasing availability of increasingly sophisticated computer systems. | ||
|
|
||
| The core curriculum of HPC Carpentry bridges the gap between using a laptop and | ||
| wielding a supercomputer through 3 lessons: | ||
|
|
||
| * the [Software Carpentry Unix Shell][shell] lesson, | ||
| * an [Introduction to High Performance Computing][intro] lesson, and, | ||
| * a lesson on [HPC Workflow Management][work] (with Snakemake) | ||
|
|
||
| ## More about the Incubation Process | ||
|
|
||
| After several years of development and informal communication between the | ||
| organisations, HPC Carpentry applied for and was invited to enter the | ||
| Incubation process to formally join The Carpentries. Incubation is the second | ||
| of three phases in a process that onboards new projects into The | ||
| Carpentries. During this phase, a new Lesson Program has 18 months to | ||
| demonstrate high-quality curriculum, demand for workshops, a healthy community | ||
| of contributors, and structures and policies that can align with The | ||
| Carpentries existing governance. We're excited to take this step towards | ||
| onboarding another Lesson Program into The Carpentries and invite you to | ||
| support the efforts of HPC Carpentry as they continue to build out their | ||
| community and lesson infrastructure! | ||
|
