Dear Carpentries Colleagues, Could we please spell out abbreviations? I have no idea what OSG is, and neither of the two emails below nor the website that the email directs us to for more information explains it.
I appreciate the invitations to new arenas, but when I am an outsider to that community I don’t feel like I can understand without being told what it is. I love the way The Carpentries foregrounds novice-ness and inclusivity, and I think this is a way we could keep that principle in the way we talk to each other via cp-discuss. I understand that no other listserv expects that kind of care when posting, so I realize no malice or exclusivity was intended here.
