In our latest blog post, Part 1 of 2, our Director of Curriculum and Associate Director, Toby Hodges and Erin Becker, summarise the main points of discussion and the outcomes of those community sessions. https://carpentries.org/blog/2025/01/teaching-llms-report/

In our latest blog post, we announce that any lesson repositories still using "styles" in The Carpentries Incubator after the end of this year, 31 December 2025, will be archived.
In May 2023, the Workbench replaced our previous lesson infrastructure, a Jekyll-based template affectionately known as "styles." The Carpentries team stopped maintaining the styles infrastructure and helped community members to migrate their own lesson projects in The Carpentries Incubator to use the Workbench.
