Hi all, Earlier this week, the Mozilla Science Lab announced the 2015 Global Sprint for open science, research and education on June 4-5, the next event in our twice-annual series of get-togethers for the community to work on code, draft curriculum, and collaborate on new & emerging ideas. Our inaugural Global Sprint in July 2014, followed by the Science & the Web sprint at the Mozilla Festival in October, brought together a wide array of individuals that otherwise might not have had the chance to meet & work together; we want this sprint to be the biggest yet, and we need your help to make it so.
*The call for projects & hosts for the Sprint is now open*, and we'd be delighted to have each of you participate. The sprint planning etherpad is here: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/sciencelab-2015globalsprint - if you'd like to propose a project, add it to the list on that etherpad, and we'll get in touch individually. Any project related to doing or teaching open science & research is a good fit for the Sprint. Projects can be tool-based, open educational resources, or anything else that furthers or exemplifies open science; all we ask, is that at least one project leader is available online to coordinate volunteer efforts on their project during the sprint. If you're available to host a space for the sprint during usual working hours in your timezone, the call for hosts is on the same etherpad. Even if you only have space for a couple of people, consider welcoming your community; we want as many sites as possible spanning every time zone to join in and give their local community a place to meet, work and collaborate. Have a look at the blog post for the sprint here: http://www.mozillascience.org/announcing-our-global-sprint-2015, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with me directly, or the Science Lab team at [email protected] - we hope you'll join us. -- Best Regards, Bill Mills Community Manager Mozilla Science Lab
