 So welcome to the kickstart course. We're starting our ice-breaking stuff right now. Yeah, let's see. So what does this mean? Well, you have 10 minutes to sort of get used to things, make sure everyone's connected all right, and so on. You see the course page shared right here. The most important thing to note is this hackMD thing that we shared with you, if you registered. So if you open it, it looks like this. So you can switch between a an HTML view and a edit view. So instead of using chat, what we use here is this. So that way you can ask a question anytime. And then we can answer sort of asynchronously. And you'll see how this works pretty well. So if you scroll to the bottom, you see questions and answers. So just like this. So here someone is asked, we don't need zoom now. And that's correct. So our strategy is that zoom is for exercises and the live stream is for the teaching and so on. So we'll go and we'll be talking and so on and say, okay, now at this time, please we'll do some exercises. Here's what it will be. Go to your zoom and then work on them. Of course, you don't have to use zoom. You could be following along yourself. You could do it yourself. You could do it with your own team in your, like in a physical media room, if you're like that, whatever. It's also okay to sort of be watching the live stream and see what you learn and then join whenever. So yeah, here we see a demonstration of the answer. So it's appeared here at live. The most important thing to note is that don't put any names on here or any personal information. This is public. It's saved. It could be broadcast and recorded. Let just not have anything there, except the names of the staff. So we start off with icebreaker. So what's your background and why are you here? So maybe I'll go to the edit mode. I will scroll down and what can't I scroll? So we need some places for people to write and let's start. And I'll start writing this. So yeah, please fill in. See if I push this button, it appears. And you could also use this to give initial feedback on things. So how do you think, like, do you have any special request for the course? Do you want any comments on the schedule? Whatever, like that. Is there anything that's missing from the schedule that you would really like to have add? I guess you mentioned when you're done with this editing, you can click back to go on view mode because sometimes if there's more than 100 people writing at the same time, it might get a bit slow, but it's coping quite well. There's 100. Test one, two. Anyone on the stream is my audio better or worse now? Yeah, switched microphones. Okay, so what else, what other preparation do we have? Yeah, I mean, I hope that everyone's as excited here as we are. We had, how many people did we have register in the end? In the end, we were 260. 260, okay. Yeah, I was hoping we could break 300 people, but we aren't quite there yet. And I guess, yeah. And I guess it's important to note you don't have to register to attend this course. Feel free to send the live stream link to whoever may want to attend, post it publicly, all that kind of stuff. The Zoom, please register for that or at least don't send it around to, like don't post it publicly. But anyone who would like to follow is by all means welcome to find our thing and come. So it's very nice to see that so many people are working with so different things. It's totally, this is also good, what I like, scientific computing because you know, we all come from so big different backgrounds and very diverse past and interests, but still we find, you know, the common need that brings us together. Yeah. Although it looks like HackMD is already having some issues here with all the simultaneous edits, maybe please switch to view mode if you aren't actively editing and I think it will get better. And if some of our HackMD specialists can go and remove some of the blank space in between here, well, I've seen this happen before. Okay. Well, it's about uh, 12 o'clock, so maybe I should begin with the introduction. Any objections? Okay, so
