It was just over 2 months ago that we opened the SAS Global Forum 2019 repo on GitHub, and the response has been tremendous. I can honestly say that I've been pleasantly surprised with the number of presenters who took us up on this opportunity. (See my initial message on this.)
To date, we have over 50 presentations represented. I had been telling people that I would have been happy with 20 in this inaugural year. Boy, did I undershoot with that estimate!
As authors, some of you embraced the GitHub flow and added your own content (forked our repo, made your additions, and issued a pull request to merge into the master repository). Others asked us to do that (hey...we offered!). And a few of you submitted code in the conference management system, and we've hosted those contributions on GitHub for you.
See the README.md for the current index of paper titles with code. Note that for most of these, the code is not standalone -- you need the paper to understand the context/application! We'll see those on the proceedings site very soon.
If you're an author with code to share, it's not too late! We'll take contributions before, during, and after the conference.
This is the first year that we've organized a conference GitHub repo. Special thanks to @cj_blake and conference chair MaryAnn DePesquo for initiating the conversation. We've learned a few things about how this can work, and I know we'll be set to make improvements in the process for next year.
BTW, if you're interested in this GitHub thing but don't know how to get started, you're invited to attend my Super Demo talk about GitHub and SAS. I'll present it twice: Monday @ 1pm and Tuesday @ 5pm -- in the Quad.
