Hello Team,

thank you for organizing this event once again. However, it`s disappointing that we still don`t have the source code available in a github repo so participants can atually follow along and try things, as many of them are hands-on. 

If the goal is to teach people practical skills, then we should do it properly: access to data, slides and notebooks, just like professional trainers do, so participants can reproduce the results.

Additionally, I belive the whole voucher chaos could be managed differently.

Thank you once again for the efforts and hope next time will run better for a more complete learning experience and no overpromising.
