An introductory Working Open Workshop for members of the Brainhack community! You are invited to fork this repo and use our materials– please let us know what you do with them and how it goes!
The Working Open Workshop (or WOW) is a set of trainings created by Mozilla Science Lab to help up-and-coming leaders of open science and open research projects make the most effective open projects possible, and build active communities of contributors around them. Specifically, WOW prepares project leads for a strong launch of their open source projects (in this case, “project” includes code and non-code projects).
The core WOW experience is 2 days of small, invite-only workshops and work sessions led by Mozilla staff and Fellows. In these workshops, we?ll cover the essentials of preparing an open project, bringing on contributors, developing your mentorship skills, using collaboration tools such as Git and GitHub, and growing an active community around an open project.
Our approach is hands-on, and project-based. The WOW agenda includes lots of time for participants to make real, meaningful progress on their projects, and to network and collaborate across projects and disciplines.
It also usually includes a community event/mixer for project leads, potential contributors, citizen scientists, study group participants, local like-minded organizations, and really anyone who?s curious about open research.
A miniWOW is a subset of these materials (which is what we're going to do here in Vancouver) and will usually be one day long. A microWOW is just one of the modules and will likely take a few hours. If you really don't have much time you can go ahead and run a picoWOW where you just give a presentation in around 20 minutes. They're all WOWs though, and we're really excited that you're working open in any way you can :smile:
WOW was designed as a springboard for a group we're calling the Open Leadership Mentors. Members of the Open Leadership Mentors (with the support, advice, and encouragement of Mozilla staff and previously trained mentors) work together to create projects, share resources, and build active, regional communities of open source practitioners.
Check out our contribute.md to learn how to help us with WOW materials.
At the Mozilla Science Lab we help researchers (anyone from students to established scientists to citizen scientists) and those who support them (developers, librarians, publishers, etc) to work openly and do better research, more research, and make that research more useful by sharing it widely.
We provide leadership training (such as this Workshop), learning materials and formats (such as Mozilla Study Groups), platforms for sharing and showcasing open Science projects (such as MSL Projects), and support for leaders in open science (through the Mozilla Fellows for Science and the Open Leaders Training program).
