Hello Colleagues,

The Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry Steering Committees have jointly
approved to go forward with a merger of the organizations. This merger will
officially recognize our shared vision and improve our ability to support
the community, member organizations, and curriculum going forward.

This agreement is just the first step, and there is a lot to do before the
merge takes place. We are putting together a Requests for Comment
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment> for decisions
​ ​
and structure around everything from governance to curriculum oversight. We
will be in touch with  updates as they arise. Software and Data Carpentry
have always been by and for the community, and it's the community who will
be key in guiding these next steps.
​

We look forward to working with you to create a strong organization,
continuing to build community teaching software and data skills.

​Thanks!
Rayna
