Monday, October 31, 2016 From rOpenSci (https://ropensci.org/blog/2016/10/31/comm-call-v12/). Except where otherwise noted, content on this site is licensed under the CC-BY license.
In order to facilitate a transformation towards open and reproducible research, rOpenSci is building and improving not only the technical infrastructure, but the social infrastructure as well. To support this, occasionally a Community Call will focus on a topic that reflects the values of rOpenSci. The first of these, on Thursday, December 15th, 8-9 AM PST, will be on “How do I create a code of conduct for my event/lab/codebase?”.
Details for joining the Community Call
After the call, we’ll post the video and archive the notes along with any links to resources.
