Reasons are:\r\n\r\n1. Most of the questions that come up in lesson discussion are actually about the Carpentries more generally.\r\n2. Joining the sessions will give trainees a chance to meet more current instructors, and thereby help their transition into the community.\r\n3. We don't have the resources to keep running multiple parallel sets of meetings.\r\n\r\nIf we do this, whoever is running the meeting will need to report back on which trainees attended and whether they asked good questions (rather than being passive observers). It also seems sensible to schedule these meetings in two regular weekly slots (because of time zones), rather than juggling them to try to match specific individuals' schedules.\r\n\r\nThoughts?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/swcarpentry/instructor-training/issues/comments/202649531","html_url":"https://github.com/swcarpentry/instructor-training/issues/139#issuecomment-202649531","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/swcarpentry/instructor-training/issues/139","id":202649531,"user":{"login":"raynamharris","id":7544197,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7544197?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris","html_url":"https://github.com/raynamharris","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raynamharris/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-29T00:58:41Z","updated_at":"2016-03-29T00:58:41Z","body":"+ 1 on merging.  @tracykteal We currently offer 4 post-workshop and 4 pre-workshop session every month.  We could stick with having 8 sessions a month, but I bet we could scale back to 4 and still accommodate the community needs, then add more ad hoc if we need to. "}}
