What do you think about using this contact e-mail list here to offer to contribute to the inventory of existing training documents ? or would you prefer we post a message on the google group or zulip? (I'm just afraid that not all installations follow these channels).

I don't mind if you reach out to people directly.

@Sonia Barbosa and others who have given training webinars recently (@Katie Mika @Julian Gautier @Ceilyn Boyd @Gustavo Durand and @Leo Andreev from a quick look at DataverseTV :tv:), this new "training resources" topic came out of today's Documentation working group meeting.

I volunteered to let you know that the meeting was recorded and training resources was the first topic. If you have the time, please check it out! There are notes as well.

In short, there's a lot of interest in inventorying existing resources (doc) and generally collaborating on training material in the future.

Thanks for the ping! I checked out the video and the notes doc. The folks at UNC have made videos about using Dataverse, too. I think they have a YouTube channel and I imagine they'll be pretty responsive if they're contacted.

@Ines Schmahl @Amélie Fiocca and everyone, I just added over 30 links to tutorial from DataverseTV to the doc. Enjoy! :tv: :popcorn:

This is the script I used: training.py

@Amélie Fiocca, on that "Crowdsourced information about Dataverse installations" spreadsheet I added a note on the column header for the "check date" column that you added, so I and maybe others know what it's for. Phil guessed it's related to when you were looking for tutorials from each installation. Feel free to edit the note if I missed or misunderstood anything about how the column's being used

Hi @Julian Gautier , thank you for the note. You're right, it's definitely related to the date of my research for tutorials :)

Hi @Philip, I had a comment her : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SG2mgq-6lzAw_r0eXRZB6L-_ZcKNfi_1sLPHtcCuKI8/edit?tab=t.0
I could have created a spreadsheet, but I don't think I have the rights to this folder

Hmm, you're a contributor to the parent folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iLUtHsRw4NYUQoKenpGF6oYb-s23plL6?usp=drive_link

You can't create any docs or spreadsheets in that folder? :thinking:

Ah, that's strange, I'll try again later. I will also suggest a email template to send for the contribution of installations that the group can review.

Sounds perfect! Thanks!

Here is the spreadsheet -> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SR6A68dXv4dVpCImR7Gke-ps25xvOsw1_pXwjDxGMXU/edit?gid=0#gid=0
And the email template to review : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1givY39bRVhrcAS6FTJ1PZ5fKzS31keA7TXy4CWo_VEM/edit?tab=t.0
What do you think about it ?

@Amélie Fiocca the spreadsheet looks good, thanks, but the links don't work

view this post on Zulip Amélie Fiocca (Jul 30 2025 at 07:49):

I fixed it :)

Looks great! Thanks! What should the permissions on the doc be? Currently it's restricted.

view this post on Zulip Amélie Fiocca (Jul 30 2025 at 13:11):

Good question... I suppose we could open it (just this document) or ask to installation write us on this channel with the answer for each field but it will require more work to compile them. Do you agree with the proposed template for the email?

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 30 2025 at 13:15):

Can you please open it (the spreadsheet), for comment?

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 30 2025 at 13:25):

I commented on the email template with some thoughts.

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 30 2025 at 13:26):

We should probably decide how we want people to give us their links to training materials before we send it out.

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 30 2025 at 13:27):

For instance, we could make the spreadsheet publicly editable but that might be a bit chaotic. :sweat_smile:

view this post on Zulip Amélie Fiocca (Jul 30 2025 at 16:22):

I think it's okay, I've set the permissions correctly to open comments publicly.

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 30 2025 at 16:32):

Great. That's what I do with the community news as I work on it. I leave it open for comments.

Speaking of the community news, I just sent out the July edition and mentioned we'd like help compiling training resources.

We should still email the Google Group, of course. :smile:

Hmm, I just found this: https://docs.scholarsportal.info/view/Main/SP/Borealis/Borealis_Admin/Promotional_and_Training_Materials/

I assume @Amber Leahey @Bikram and others at Borealis know about it. :smile:
