Dear colleagues,

Given that there are quite a few people who have shown interest in attending to this workshop, we may not have time to properly introduce ourselves during the session. However, we do not want to lose the opportunity of getting to know each other, so we (@jamestripp, @cagatayTurkay and myself) have thought that it would be nice if everyone attending could introduce themselves by adding a comment into this issue.

We'll be setting the example:

Now it's your turn. Would you like to tell us about your...

Hi, I'm Sam Cox, Senior RSE at Uni of Nottingham. No previous experience of Quarto, but plenty of Python/HPC languages. Keen to learn about Quarto not only for myself but also for my colleagues, some of whom could do with a more organised workflow, particularly data wrangling etc.
