## NWB \+ DANDI Overview Workshop Template
13+
14+
**Learning objective:** Attendees will learn about the NWB and DANDI software ecosystem, from data conversion and data publication to data reuse.
15+
16+
**Estimated duration:** 1 day. The talks can be covered in a half day, and the remaining time can be used for conversion projects, discussion, or 1:1 support.
17+
18+
**Prerequisites / requirements:** None, this workshop is intended for people new to the NWB ecosystem.
19+
20+
**Previous examples:** [NWB and DANDI Workshop at University of Washington](http://nwb.org/events/workshop-2025-uwashington/), [NWB and DANDI Workshop at CoSyNe 2025](http://nwb.org/events/cosyne-2025/), [NWB and DANDI Workshop at UNAM](http://nwb.org/events/workshop-2025-unam/)

## Data Reuse Workshop Template
83+
84+
**Learning objective:** Attendees will learn how to work with data on DANDI and will conduct a data reuse project to re-analyze existing data on NWB.
85+
86+
**Estimated duration:** 5 days. The first day covers the core material about working with data on DANDI. The second day can focus on additional guest lectures to introduce attendees to different tools and datasets on DANDI. The remaining time can be spent on project hacking / analysis, with the workshop concluding in project presentations.
87+
88+
**Prerequisites / requirements:** In previous workshops, we have required participants to propose a project with specific dandisets as part of their application. These projects can change throughout the course of the workshop.

## Code of Conduct
2+
3+
We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks. event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the event organizers.
4+
5+
Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
6+
7+
- Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion.
8+
- Sexual images in public spaces
9+
- Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
10+
- Harassing photography or recording
11+
- Sustained disruption of talks or other events
12+
- Inappropriate physical contact
13+
- Unwelcome sexual attention
14+
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour
15+
16+
### Enforcement
17+
18+
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
19+
20+
Organizers and presenters are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, they should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material.
21+
22+
Event organisers may take action to redress anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting the event or making the environment hostile for any participants.
23+
24+
If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, event organisers have the responsibility to remind the offender about our Code of Conduct, and warn them that repeated inappropriate, uncivil, threatening, offensive, or harmful behavior can lead to a temporary or permanent ban from the event with no refund. The offending person(s) may also see affected their participation in future NWB and DANDI events.
25+
26+
We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and event-related social activities. We think people should follow these rules outside event activities too!
27+
28+
### Reporting
29+
30+
If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible to the events organizers. Harassment and other code of conduct violations reduce the value of our event for everyone. We want you to be happy at our event. People like you make our event a better place.
31+
32+
You can make a report either with your personal email or using an anonymous email.
33+
34+
### NWB Contributor Code of Conduct
35+
36+
When directly contributing to the NWB project, contributors are expected to follow the [NWB Contributor Code of Conduct](/code_of_conduct/)
37+
38+
### Credit
39+
40+
This hackathon code of conduct is adapted from the [Brainhack Code of Conduct](https://brainhack.org/code-of-conduct.html).
