An instructor should be able to connect all the bits like I showed in the video and then, beyond that, make use of an HPC by ssh'ing (secure shell) into the it and run programs. I will be creating an onboarding lesson for instructors on how to build it from scratch, how to write the operating system to the SSD hard drive and then how to connect to it. I have added a link to HPC Carpentry above, but here it is again: https://www.hpc-carpentry.org/community-lessons/ * ***Raspberry Pi - how is it powered? micro USB or ethernet?*** **A:** The ones on the recording look ethernet powered. **Jannetta:** The mini HPC uses Power over Ethernet (PoE). So each Raspberry Pi has and extra "hat" (https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/poe-hat/) on it and the switch was selected to be able to provide enough power for 8 RPi (150 Watt TP-Link or equivalent, https://www.tp-link.com/uk/business-networking/poe-switch/tl-sg2210mp/). You don't have to use PoE but using it means you do away with a whole lot of cables and power supplies. * ***What are some of the regions in the world involved in the Carpentries Offline project? (other than the UK)*** **A:** At the moment we have folks working on the project in America, one person in South Africa and the rest here in England. I'm trying very hard to get more people to work with us so that we can apply for more funding and get the idea distributed across the world. So if anyone is interested in joining use to work on the project we would welcome you with open arms and be forever thankful! ## Resources * [Communications Resource](https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/communications/index.html) * [Link to host questionnaire to be completed at the end of call](https://forms.gle/N74pFuGkRLawpCHh7) * [Link to attendee questionnaire to be completed at the end of the discussion](https://goo.gl/forms/aNZhcVnq4iPAz4GE3) ## Announcements * Next AUNZ Community Call- Tuesday, 08 October; 1pm Auckland, 9am Perth, 11am Sydney, 1am UTC [See in your timezone](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AU+NZ+Carpentries+Community+Call&iso=20241008T13&p1=22&ah=1) [Sign Up Here](https://codimd.carpentries.org/s/ADo_gTI9P) * eResearch Australasia October, Melbourne * Birds of a Feather Session https://conference.eresearch.edu.au/the-carpentries-pinball-arcade-an-immersive-game-with-a-training-community/ - Sara King, Liz Stokes and more!
