• Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

Before Week 2: Cohort Call (Welcome to Open Life Science!)

• Attend call or catch up via YouTube

• Create an issue on the OLS-4 GitHub repository for your OLS work and share the link to your mentor.

• Draft a brief vision statement using your goals

  This lesson from the Open Leadership Training Series (OLTS) might be helpful

• Leave a comment on this issue with your draft vision statement & be ready to share this on the call

• Check the Syllabus for notes and connection info for all the cohort calls.

Before Week 3: Meet your mentor!

• Meet mentor
• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their vision statement
• Complete this compare and contrast assignment about current and desired community interactions and value exchanges
• Complete your Open Canvas (instructions, canvas)
• Share a link to your Open Canvas in your GitHub issue
• Start your Roadmap
• Comment on your issue with your draft Roadmap
• Suggest a cohort name at the bottom of the shared notes and vote on your favorite with a +1

Before Week 4: Cohort Call (Tooling and roadmapping for Open projects)

• Attend call or catch up via YouTube
• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.

Week 5 and later

• Meet mentor
• Create a GitHub repository for your project
• Add the link to your repository in your issue
• Use your canvas to start writing a README.md file, or landing page, for your project
• Link to your README in a comment on this issue
• Add an open license to your repository as a file called LICENSE.md
• Add a Code of Conduct to your repository as a file called CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
• Invite new contributors to into your work!

This issue is here to help you keep track of work as you start Open Life Science program. Please refer to the OLS-4 Syllabus for more detailed weekly notes and assignments past week 4.

The objective of this project is to make information related to open science resources, events, and communities in Latin America more accessible through the development of a collaborative repository that gathers this information. This repository will be available to anyone who wants to know more and wants to get in touch with other regional and local actors in Latin America, or to those who want to participate in the diffusion of open practices. By this means, we seek to highlight the diversity of initiatives and generate contact networks that enrich the exercise of open science in Latin America.

Vision is very informative and gives all the info needed. Local resource mapping is most important in the age of data. It's sometimes hard to find what you need in the sea of data. I wish to have a similar project locally at the end of this year.

The vision statement is very clear and easy to understand. Wishing you the very best on your project!

[doaamkader]

Very informative vision and it's so clear and understandable.

[marielaraj]

Hi! Very interesting and necessary project. I loved that you post the vision in Spanish, too!

Hi!! what you're doing here is great work. I see this providing ease to people. There's enrichment and stress eradication. Well done on being a frontier for this in Latin America.

[NPDebs]

I love this! It's brilliant that you want to help people find relevant information more efficiently.

+1 with @marielaraj. Thank you for posting it in Spanish!

[AngelicaMaineri]

Hi! Great work, this would be very relevant! Would you be willing to catch up via a call? I am looking into building a catalog of OLS projects and I would like to exchange ideas on tools and platforms :)

@JFormoso et al - I've just learned that Flavio Azevedo from FORRT is planning an open science mapping exercise. Y'all should chat with him (he's on OLS Slack) if you'd like to link up!

[flavioazevedo]

Yes please :) Would love to connect!

[JFormoso]

Thanks for the heads-up, Yo! And Flavio, we would love to connect with you. We'll reach out on the OLS Slack.
