Community
Overview
In our Cloud-SPAN community we encourage everyone to come together to find solutions to problems and exchange experiences and knowledge. Our aim is to build a friendly and involved community of people who have used our resources, are interested in our resources, or who have expertise in the areas we cover. Ways to contribute include attending one of our courses, asking/answering questions on our community forum and making suggestions for improvements to our courses.
News
Check out our latest blogs and keep yourself up to date with our upcoming activities. We strongly encourage you to engage with the Cloud-SPAN community to enhance your learning and understanding.
Handbook
This handbook is intended as a reference for both the core Cloud-SPAN team and for our wider community of learners. It’s where you’ll find our Code of Conduct, contributing guidelines and other practical information which will help you make the most of our resources in a friendly, understanding environment.
FAIR
Our goal is to make our resources as FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) as possible. Read about the ethical values underlying the FAIR principles via the FAIR Cookbook from FAIRplus.
Forum
The Cloud-SPAN forum is a place to ask questions, pick people’s brains and share any insights you’ve gained during or after one of our courses. It will be the main hub of the Cloud-SPAN community of practice. We strongly encourage you to engage with the Cloud-SPAN community to enhance your learning and understanding.
