I’m running an informal “study group” every week day from 10am to 6pm at USF (101 Howard St, Room 153). I won’t be doing any mentoring of students myself (I’ll be busy prepping the next week’s course!) but I will be sharing my screen and maybe sometimes talking a bit about what I’m doing, and will give out coding challenges for anyone interested in contributing. I’ve created a google doc summarizing current projects.
More importantly, you can do joint projects with other students there, and get/give peer-to-peer help. To help you know who is around each day, what people are working on, and what project groups exist, I’ve created this spreadsheet. I’ve left the spreadsheet entirely up to you all to set up as you see fit - or if you want to set up some other approach to organize projects, feel free! (I’ve made this a wiki post, so you can add additional information here directly.)
We’ll have room 153 from 10am - 6pm throughout the course except on the dates listed below:
USF is closed on March 30 - Good Friday (no building access)
April 11 - room 454
April 27 - room 454.
This is available for both in-person students as well as international fellows that are visiting SF.
Great, I’d really like to get involved and start contributing to the library, looking forward to some beginner friendly challenges to get started with first PR’s
Hey @jeremy, I read above that international fellows will also have access to study groups, thanks for this. Just one query, will there be a livestream for the whole duration i.e. (10 am to 6 pm) or I am misinterpreting something ??
One thing I want to contribute is to comment and annotate the fast.ai library.
But from Jeremy’s video, it seems like he thinks they’re fairly self explanatory and does not need to be annotated. To some extend, it’s true, but when one has a mental block, one can not remember what wd is even if one’s life depend on it.
@jeremy: Shall I start this quest or is this going to be a undesirable/futile pull request?
I apologize if I gave that impression - I would love to see better documentation of the library. There was a recent github issue about exactly this FYI.
Wow I wish I could stay in SF for the whole course. I’m based in NYC but I will try to drop a visit at least once and spend time grokking with everyone.
If you arrive before me (I won’t be there until a bit after 10), please just introduce yourself to the other folks there, make yourself comfortable, and get to work!
I’ve added a spreadsheet link to the top post in this thread where you can organize projects. I’ve also made the top post a wiki so you can use it to add any information that might be useful to other students.
