2. A few details about the event/course/context

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). We are hosting a workshop tutorial called "Canonical DIY Tutorials on Non-Gaussian SLAM and Computation" with purpose of communicating and demonstrating new algorithmic techniques for processing sensor data for calibration / localization / mapping. The event is intended to drive networking with community and industry, and educate a wider audience on what the open-source technology is capable of. We intend for this to attract more people to the overall project.

  • https://icra2022.org/program/workshops-and-tutorials
  • https://www.navability.io/icra-2022-non-gaussian-slam-workshop/

The event caters for both in person and virtual attendance.

3. If money is changing hands (attendees pay a fee, speaker is getting paid, free, etc)

Both in-person attendees and the we the presenters are paying IEEE conference fees to attend the event. Virtual registration for the event is free.

Sorry for the delay. The mybinder.org funding recently ran out, which severely restricted the compute capacity of mybinder.org. We've now received additional funding so it should be OK to bump the quota for your repo. If you open a PR along the lines of https://github.com/jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy/pull/2085 I'll merge it, otherwise I can make the change later.

No worries, thank you so much! I'll make a PR in a few moments.

Here we go, thanks again - https://github.com/jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy/pull/2179
