Event for the Stanford open source community!

Your research code matters. Let’s treat it that way.

On Aug 7, pyOpenSci + OpenSource@Stanford (#OSPO) will share how open peer review supports better tools, cleaner code, and academic credit.

Thursday, Aug 7
11AM MT / 10AM PT
www.pyopensci.org/events/pyopensci-stanford-ospo-peer-review.html

We’re very excited about our July Deep Dive with Zach Chandler, Ma Francesca Vera and @leahawasser on the partnership between the OpenScience@Stanford #OSPO at #StanfordDataScience and @pyOpenSci

This initiative will support #opensource #contributors and #maintainers to deepen their knowledge and practice of peer code review, #Python package management practices, and community engagement.

Last Tuesday was my last day after 4yrs building an OSPO from scratch. Intense, rewarding, and full of lessons.
Grateful to everyone I worked with, especially the #OSPO team. Great work, real impact. I’ll keep on those public repos
Now taking a few weeks off to rest & think about what’s next

Just discovered the "The Good Governance Handbook », a curated list of goals and activities to help implement corporate-wide open source policies, and set up OSPO.

A colleague in the UC #OSPO Network lost a grant supporting a summer program for #HBCU students looking to get involved in #OpenSource. I know everyone's scrambling to make up lost funding right now, but if anyone knows an org that might be able to help fund a project like this, please let me know!
