Hello everyone,

I'm Johann, based in Berlin.

I work as a web developer, mostly doing Ruby and some Python backend, but also some basic frontend things. For work, I'm currently trying to learn React. If I ever manage to "master" that, I want to look into Elixir.

I coached at OTS for the first time a few weeks ago, at a JavaScript for Absolute Beginners workshop. I participated in the same workshop myself around 3 years ago and been a couple times at the Ruby learners meetup before I started working. Have coached more often at meetups for freeCodeCamp that I organized myself, but I do not have time for that anymore at the moment.

In general, my options to coach coding are currently quite limited, because I'm busy with basketball (playing & coaching) at least 3 days a week.

Currently, I don't really look for help.

Hey @Johann_Quassowski, welcome!
We looking forward to co-coaching/co-learning with you even more

Hi!
I'm Lucy, one of the co-organisers of Science Hack Day Berlin, an annual community-run weekend hackathon for scientists, artists, developers, designers and enthusiasts. I'm a community organiser and former molecular biologist. I'm here to chat about science hacking and build our community.
Thanks!
Lucy

Hi, nice to have you here!

Feel free to write a bit about what you're currently doing with SHD and where you're heading. We can create a category and a group for you, if that's of any use.

Sure!
We are an evolving team of volunteer organisers who have been running Science Hack Day in Berlin since 2013. For those who don't already know us, our aim is to build community and make connections between all different kinds of people interested in science. We think science should be a tool that anyone can use and we want to make it more open to society.

This year we have many fantastic new organising team members from our community and are getting ready for our 5th edition, scheduled for November - we're announcing the details any day now..

Ramin and Joram from our team are already here (but discourse won't let me mention them..). We'll discuss in the team about the possibility of a SHDB category and group in the OTS discourse. I think it could be just the thing for us... We should probably move discussion about it out of the Welcome Lounge though
