I am going to be presenting a Dask workshop at [FOSS4G-NA](https://foss4gna.org/) (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial, North America) in late October. It’s a 3 hour slot and I am planning on covering the basic concepts of Dask and touching on the rest of the Pangeo stack. I would like to build on existing work and store the final version somewhere that is group-owned.

I found [this discussion](https://discourse.pangeo.io/t/pangeo-workshop-at-foss4g/1359) of previous FOSS4G Pangeo Workshops. Along with the following materials:

## Dask specific

- [Project Pythia - Dask Cookbook](https://projectpythia.org/dask-cookbook/README.html)
- [Dask Tutorial](https://github.com/dask/dask-tutorial)
- [Dask Examples](https://github.com/dask/dask-examples)

## Pangeo workshops

- [Pangeo workshop at FOSS4G 2021](https://github.com/pangeo-data/foss4g-2021)
- [Pangeo workshop at FOSS4G 2022](https://github.com/pangeo-data/foss4g-2022)
- [Pangeo tutorial gallery](https://gallery.pangeo.io/repos/pangeo-data/pangeo-tutorial-gallery/)

I guess my question is what is the current thinking on where the materials for this workshop should live?

Sounds amazing! I’ll be at FOSS4G-NA for a panel.

Pythia Cookbooks is currently the most maintained resource. I’d recommend putting your tutorial materials there.

Great! That is kind of where I was leaning. I opened an issue on the Dask cookbook to see if they are open to contributions [Use this cookbook for FOSS4G-NA Dask workshop? · Issue #12 · ProjectPythia/dask-cookbook · GitHub](https://github.com/ProjectPythia/dask-cookbook/issues/12)

Hello @jsignell ,

We have organized a half-day NCAR Dask workshop earlier in February and I made the Dask cookbook based on some materials I prepared for NCAR Dask tutorial.

If you want you can check the original materials which included more HPC-centric languages for NCAR: [NCAR Dask Workshop](https://ncar.github.io/dask-tutorial/notebooks/00-dask-overview.html)

[Dask Cookbook](https://github.com/ProjectPythia/dask-cookbook) only includes the non-HPC sections of the above tutorial.

I agree with you and @rabernat that Dask cookbook is probably the best place to maintain Dask materials for the community and I am open to all collaborations. That is why I created the cookbook from the workshop material. 😉 I’m very open to any and all forms of collaboration on this project.  
Unfortunately, I am not attending the [FOSS4G-NA](https://foss4gna.org/), but I am open to any collaborations. Please let me know how I can help!

Cheers!  
Negin
