[General] CarpentryCon Schedule and other relevant conferences in July & August 2020

[serahkiburu]

We have heard about other relevant conferences in the open data, open source, open science and data Science space which our community members are keen to attend and that are scheduled to take place in July and August 2020. We want to use this issue to keep track of them and be mindful of the dates they are scheduled for so that, as the organising committee, we can do our best to schedule CarpentryCon @ Home sessions on non-key dates as much as possible.
