I don't think this is necessary

some representation and identity information is helpful, but fine to remove (as this is only one bit of a constellation)

This seems like a post-workshop question?

I think I just failed to get the tense right, but I think a pre question on concerns is important

+1. Did you attend Building the Peer-to-Peer Internet?


Isn't this always a yes? A little confusing.

It is yes, it is basically an explicit opt-in on the form, if people don't feel like agreeing to it then we don't use the data

But this is asking if they attended not consent to this form.

I've addressed your changes!

+1. Download the Git for Windows <a href="https://git-for-windows.github.io/">installer</a>.


Why are we installing git? I don't think we need git for the workshop, but we do need PuTTY for SSH sessions.

Git for Windows includes Git Bash-- "Git BASH Git for Windows provides a BASH emulation used to run Git from the command line."

I think Ben is right. We are note doing a "programming" course. The shell component really has to be get your feet wet.

For windows just stick with PuTTY
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
or simply Google putty, first result.

Its nice and small and we can even have it on a usb stick if anyone doesn't download it and needs it. It will collapse this into like 2 lines.

Goto site
Download

Talking about git just muddies the waters way to much for our needs!

+## Text Editor


@darkdrgn2k is there any code writing in your modules? There isn't need for this in mine, and if there is any it would be on the mesh-orange shell, where neither vim or nano is available, and nano-tiny is used. So this section seems unnecessary.

Didn't we talk about this last night any everyone said they opened a notepad?

Honestly I did not really understand the whole "you need a text editor to copy/paste" thing. You Copy, You Paste.

But having a notepad is a good idea for random reasons. But i think you will scare every one off talking about VI and git again and whatever.

I dont think this needs to be in the intro email, id take it out.

But i dont deny that

Again I think this is more confusing then it needs to be. I don't think there is any part of the module where they have to write "code" aside from copying text from the sheet.

Remember these are people who don't sit in console, they work GUI. So teaching them about VI on day 1 may scare them off!

Perhaps we can recommend everyone to get sublime text as an optional text editor just for copy pasting code and IP addresses around? I don't think it is critical.

That is what this section is for....

Your going to loose people with gits and nanos and vis. i say keep this out. most OSes come with some sort of text pad when needed.

Side Note: I reaslized a problem with the "collective consciousness" CrypPad or EtherPad or whatever. These laptops will be hooked up to the PI's ssid with no Internet.

I think this section document can be omitted, and instead send instructions to install PuTTY and familiarize with terminal commands and SSH.

We definitely need PuTTY preinstalled.

I believe Shell and SSH terminal is all we need, and optionally a text editor.
