Subject: [OLS-5 week 8] Cohort call, Community design for inclusivity
Hello Tikva/תִּקְוָה Cohort!
Last week was a mentor call. Hopefully, you’ve had the chance to talk about how progress is going and discuss questions regarding assignments or your project.
Next week on Wednesday 20 April is our cohort call: Community design for inclusivity. Guest speakers Chad Sansing and Anelda van der Walt will be talking about Mountain of engagement, community interactions, Personas and pathways, and welcoming new contributors.

As usual, if you’re unable to make this call we’ll upload the recording to the OLS YouTube channel by end of day Monday 25 April. .
We hope you are making time to do your assignments in the context of your projects. Please update your issues (https://github.com/open-life-science/ols-5/issues) to ask for feedback, question or support as needed. We encourage you to also connect with others on our Slack workspace. If you’ve been having trouble keeping up with the assignments, don't worry. You can always go back and reflect upon the assignments in the next weeks or in the future - it may surprise you how often we refer back to these lessons! Please remember that the main goal here is to learn and understand the wider application of open science concepts.
- Create a project development plan for your project: Assignment to help you use Agile methods to break down your milestones into smaller tasks and define a timeline for your milestones.
- You can explore how to manage your tasks using project management or kanban tool like GitHub projects (short intro), Trello, Asana or Zenhub in GitHub
- Make sure that by now you have added a license, contribution guideline, and selected a Code of Conduct in your GitHub repository. If you feel stuck and don’t know where you start, take a look at this repo to see a basic recommended structure of an open-source project.
- Look up two other projects and comment on their issues and share feedback on their Open Canvas and README
