# Planning: Workshops 2022 spring

From discussions at the [2021-09-20 community call](https://coderefinery.org/about/community-call/):
If we have two big CodeRefinery workshops, what would be the optimal times of the year?

This way other organizations could adapt to it a bit like summer school at PDC which is always in August and everybody knows it coordinate with carpentries and/or HPC stuff Spring: avoid Easter (before to avoid work in Easter). Sweden, weeks 8/9. Denmark weeks 6/7. Decide via chat, before Easter. Easter: FI=17.apr. Aiming at late March 2022 which is hopefully far enough away from winter holidays and also well ahead of Easter holidays (Mar 21 - Apr 1, weeks 12-13)?
