11:00 - 13:00: Code Cafe: Hands-on session on reproducibility

Abstract:
This will be a CAFE hands-on session on computational reproducibility. During this Code CAFE, participants will have a safe space to discuss and practice the skills to deliver reproducible repos and learn how to prepare their code for a CODECHECK. At the end of the CAFE, we will announce a CODECHECK call to encourage participants to submit their repo and earn a CODECHECK badge.
