# CodeRefinery newsletter January 2023

## Next workshop in March

Our next CodeRefinery workshop will take place in March 21-30, 2023
and the registration is open: https://coderefinery.github.io/2023-03-21-workshop/

We have simplified the registration based on lessons learned from our past workshop. Our goal is to make it easier and more flexible to register and to form teams. Everyone can attend by following the stream on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/coderefinery/about.

Please share the workshop page to your friends! We are happy to welcome people with basic experience in Git or other topics to act as helpers during the workshop! Gather some friends to join as a team, reserve a meeting room and get some snacks! However you choose to join, we wish you a happy workshop!

## Greetings from NeIC All-Hands Meeting 2023

Some CodeRefinery team members met at the annual NeIC All-Hands Meeting 2023, held in Kvitfjell, Norway. Other participants were from other projects funded by NeIC. We had a change to present CodeRefinery and to get to know other projects. The atmosphere at the event was both relaxed and excited and the CodeRefinery attendees want to thank the organisers one more time!
