My @turingway #BookDash write-up 📖💨
With perhaps a bit too much detail 🔎
I'm very excited to be involved in the @turingway November Book Dash 📖💨
I've never done a book dash before. I'm not sure what to expect, except that I'll learn a lot!

New set of #TuringWay Book Dash illustrations by @scriberian are out! They are shared under CC-BY 4.0 for reuse: https://zenodo.org/record/6821117. Check them out, share & tell us where in your work you use them.🙌
If you can, please help provide Alt text for them: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/issues/2043
Illustrations created by Scriberia as part of the Turing Way book dashes and illustration sprints in 2019 (two events in person), 2020 (one event in-person and one online), 2021 (two online), 2022 (Turing-Crick partnership project hybrid sprint, one Book Dash online). They depict a variety of content of the five guides in The Turing Way as well as data science and the community activities of The Turing Way in general. More information on the book dashes can be found at https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/community-handbook/bookdash.html. When using any of the images, please include the following attribution with the specific DOI as listed on the particular Zenodo page: This illustration is created by Scriberia with The Turing Way community. Used under a CC-BY 4.0 licence. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3332807 You can cite all versions by using the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3332807. This DOI represents all versions, and will always resolve to the latest one. Please note that these images are shared here in the original format and size. We use smaller files in The Turing Way guides that you can find in our GitHub repository: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/tree/main/book/website/figures. Individual illustrations are provided as .jpg files and zipped archives of the files are given in .jpg and .pdf (named starting with zz- to keep them at the bottom of the list). The most recent release have been made in June 2022 with the following zipped archives: zz-Latest-TheTuringWay-Scriberia-2022-Jun-allJPG-English-text.zip <-- Latest JPG release zz-Latest-TheTuringWay-Scriberia-2022-Jun-allJPG-without-text.zip <-- Latest JPG release without any text (for reuse purpose) zz-Latest-TheTuringWay-Scriberia-2022-Jun-allPDF-English-text.zip <-- Latest PDF release zz-Latest-TheTuringWay-Scriberia-2022-Jun-allPDF-without-text.zip <-- Latest PDF release without any text (for reuse purpose) Images from the previous Book Dash from May 2019 - November 2021 are shared in the following zipped archives: zz-TheTuringWay-previous-Scriberia-2022-Jun-AllJPG-English-text.zip zz-TheTuringWay-previous-Scriberia-2022-Jun-AllPDF-English-text.zip zz-TheTuringWay-previous-Scriberia-2022-Jun-allJPGs-without-text.zip zz-TheTuringWay-previous-Scriberia-2022-Jun-allPDFs-without-text.zip From the previous Book Dashes, we have also released SVG files when available: zz-TheTuringWay-Scriberia-2019-20-SVG-where-available.zip. Translating and editing for reusing Images: Zipped archives's names ending with '-without-text.zip' are provided for the latest release that can be translated into languages that you would like to use them in. We encourage the use and re-use of these images as much as possible. This includes remixing the images, for example changing the colours, translating text or merging them together with additional (openly licensed) images. If you create something that others may benefit from, we encourage you to contribute your image back to The Turing Way. Please get in touch with the team members by emailing [email protected] who can help you update this repository with the images you create. If you'd like to change the colours of the image to align with other elements of your presentation, Turing Way community member Alex Chan has written a guide for changing the dominant colour in an image which we hope is helpful.
While you’re relaxing between Christmas and New Year you could start planning your application to attend the next #TuringWay #BookDash 📚💨 in London on 21 Feb!
I’m going to talk you through the application in this thread. Please share w your networks 🙏🏻

You've heard of a Book Sprint? One week when folks get together and write a book? Well, the Turing Way would like to invite you to a Book Dash! A Book Dash is a one day collaborative event where you'll work with others to add to and improve the Turing Way book. We're going to host you for dinner the night before, and give you the opportunity to promote any projects that you're working in that evening, and then hopefully we'll have an intense 9 to 5 day working on the book. There are SO many people who have expertise that the Turing Way can benefit from. The skills and contributions that we're looking for include, but are not limited to: - science communication skills: skills in writing, editing and/or exciting interactive communications - great examples and case studies of reproducible research - writing new chapters - editing the current chapters - updating how the book looks online (css, logos, layout etc) Successful applicants will receive travel and accommodation to attend our Book Dash as laid out in the agenda below.
