Attendance on Oct.24th: 7

[katrinleinweber]

In case someone brings up the need to write a small program, we should approach this task in a way that helps other attendees generalise to their own requirements. For example:

• nailing down what functionality of the program is actually required vs. what is "nice to have"
• preparing pseudo-code as comments in the source-code file
• version-controlling it right away
• programming in a portable way, e.g. project-based

This will likely mean that 2h are not sufficient, but we should try to lay a solid & FAIR groundwork there, rather than try and rush towards a possible solution. We can always schedule follow-up sessions individually.
