Abstract
Since its start in 1998, Software Carpentry has evolved from a week-long training course at the US national laboratories into a worldwide volunteer organization dedicated to improving researchers' computing skills. This talk explores what we've learned along the way about using open source development techniques to teaching at scale, and about getting people and institutions to change.
