Coding Dojos to Evolve a Community of Practice

This lightning talk for the SSI Collaborations Workshop 2021 introduces the concept of using Coding Dojos to evolve and enhance the research software community at UKAEA. It is hoped that these events will move the software community from a primarily "contribute" participation model to a "collaborate" one. The concept of Coding Dojos is not new, but it is new to the author and their colleagues at UKAEA, so experiences from the broader research software community with Coding Dojos or similar activities are being sought.
