Update video tutorials #450
Comments
Thanks. |

Hi @rgaiacs! I remembered last week that I was supposed to do this..I probably won't get to it until after my thesis defense in Aug. Maybe we should take the link down for now? or see if anyone else has the time? |
Can you send a message to discuss mailing list to see if someone want to volunteer this? I suggest to add a timeline in the email. We have the videos until 25 June or we remove the link at the end of the month. |

@sstevens2 would you be willing/able to re-record these videos? |

I don't think I have the time to commit to this right now @fmichonneau. Wish I could, it was pretty fun the first time. |
|
ok, thanks for letting me know. We'll put a call out to the community! |
|
@JoaoRodrigues agreed to do some recordings (on Windows) |
|
Just checked out the Bash and Git video for macOS, and it looks like the Git package downloaded from sourceforge never took effect (should have been version 2.6.4, ended up with 2.5.4 installed from XCode). I'll see if I can knock together a video using either or both methods. May also need to show Catalina with a zsh default shell versus Mojave or earlier with a bash default shell. |
|
After making some videos for Geospatial DC I was motivated to look at the analytics on the old videos. I still get about 900 views a month on these videos with most being Windows gitbash/swc installer(sooo old), then mac git, and then windows python. |
|
Hi @sstevens2 , I haven't actually done anything... life + covid happened.. Thanks for the reminder though, I wouldn't mind doing the windows videos for all those three if you want to handle the Mac OS / Linux counterparts? |
|
I hadn't done anything beyond set up a couple macOS VMs in December and do a couple of test recordings. I'm currently making a new workshop repository to click through, and hopefully can get the macOS videos done shortly. |
|
Sounds like between the two of you you have both macOS and Windows mostly covered. Let me know if you'd like help editing or with voice over or something. If nothing else, let me know when you get the new ones up and I'll bring down the old ones. |
|
Pinging in @maxim-belkin here as I seem to remember seeing a recent thread where he recommended linking setup videos directly in the setup instructions on the workshop template. I might be remembering incorrectly, but just in case, wanted to loop him into the conversation. 🙂 |
|
Um... I proposed to embed youtube videos instead of linking to them in #682 (https://deploy-preview-682--zen-ride-08ffd1.netlify.app). I might've mentioned this idea somewhere else as it has been floating in my head for some time... but I don't recall where at the moment. |
|
Ah, thanks for clarifying @maxim-belkin! |
I've made and uploaded macOS videos for:
I'm happy to do voiceover, but it'd take some effort to suppress my highly entertaining local accent to something more comprehensible to an international audience. Will get one with checking the shell in Catalina and another for an Anaconda install with all the new instructions for verifying Jupyter late today or tonight if possible. |
|
I can go ahead and do the voice over. Hopefully my accent is understandable for most folks. Now I'm all worried...lol |
|
Regarding embedding I was concerned about the tracking cookies that YouTube installs when embedding videos. However, I've looked a little more into it and there is a "privacy-enhanced mode" that could be enabled. So if we end up embedding the videos, let's make sure we use these features. |
|
@sstevens2 one more video uploaded, and the last is uploading now. Hopefully that'll be enough material to use, speed up, or trim as needed. |
|
Thanks for the reminder @mikerenfro! I'll work on voicing these over on Monday. |
|
I'm embarrassingly behind on this issue. It is still on my list though. Worried the installers have changed quite a bit since the recordings, but I can double check them when I voice them over. |
#447 will drop the need for Software Carpentry Installer. The Windows video tutorial introduced at #314 will be out of date so we need to (1) update the video or (2) remove the link to the video.
@sstevens2 do you have time to re-record the video showing who to install Git Bash on Windows? Thanks very much for your help!
