Notes from conversation with Tracy

• Write a good 1 pager

• Don’t worry to much about governance for the 1 pager but do include initial staffing needs

  • Community person

  • Developer

  • Leadership time (% salary)

  • rOpenSci is run through UC Berkeley for these positions

    • good to find out details (e.g. does UCB receive overhead funds? ask for an example budget?)

• Our one pager can be pitched to Moore Foundation

• Possibility of more opensci communities (e.g. *opensci or xopensci)

  • we can think about this as we design our process (e.g. guidelines for review and inclusion), so that working together in the future would be easier

• One pager: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OETzG9OASXIH3WdxyUUl_IDa4Ozfabj6T0HDDSqmkv4/edit

• Leah to ask Tracy what should be prioritized on the 1 pager

Concept Ideas for 1 pager

• difference from rOpenSci:

  • capacity building for training scientists on:

    • how to contribute to open source

    • partnership with Carpentries by providing content and leveraging their training capabilities

• have a developer that helps with improving/building packages as needed

• focus on expanding package ownership and community around packages, rather than on building tools

• provide concrete examples of how we intend to build community and what the community can accomplish
