GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) fastai study group

You have probably all seen that the course is going to be launched on August 21st!

Since I don’t want to impose a strict schedule on the study group, people can obviously follow the course at a speed they prefer. My aim will be to watch one lesson per week every two weeks and spend the subsequent time working through the notebooks, applying to new data etc. I plan to post comments, questions etc. as I go along (and my notebooks in a GitHub repo). There will probably also be a bit of time needed to make sure a GPU is working and decide on server set-up etc at the start. The forums here are a great source of help on that front.

Schedule for the first few weeks will look like:

Week begin Lesson
24 August Lesson 1 + set-up
7 September Lesson 2

Since quite a few people were keen to have a video call I thought it might be useful to try to schedule one on the week following the course release to say hi and discuss how we want to approach things. I have set up a doodle poll to try and find a good time for that. We might struggle to find a time that works for everyone’s time zone but hopefully, we can make something work :crossed_fingers:
