# Community Partners

Community Partners are people from the Open Science Labs community who are
creating initiatives that can benefit others. These initiatives can include
events, educational materials, courses, mentoring, project clinics, office
hours, reading groups, and other community-led opportunities.
Community Partners are people and groups from the Open Science Labs community
who organize opportunities that help others learn, collaborate, build, mentor,
and contribute. This hub is designed to make those opportunities easy to scan
and easy to join.

This page is where we publicize those initiatives so community members can
discover useful opportunities and so organizers can connect with people who may
want to learn, contribute, mentor, or collaborate.
The page supports several kinds of community-led opportunities:

- **Events & gatherings** for workshops, talks, meetups, study sessions, reading
groups, and demos.
- **Courses & learning paths** for cohort-based courses, self-paced material,
bootcamps, and structured curricula.
- **Resources & toolkits** for guides, datasets, templates, notebooks,
repositories, videos, and reusable educational material.
- **Mentoring, office hours & project clinics** for recurring support spaces,
contribution help, onboarding, and project feedback.

## Mission and values

Open Science Labs welcomes Community Partner initiatives that are aligned with
our mission of promoting open science and open-source technology through
community collaboration, education, and project development.
Open Science Labs welcomes Community Partner initiatives that align with our
mission of promoting open science and open-source technology through community
collaboration, education, and project development.

We especially welcome initiatives that support open collaboration, continuous
learning, inclusivity, accessibility, ethical responsibility, community
empowerment, sustainability, and constructive communication. You can learn more
about these principles in the [Open Science Labs Formula](/about/formula/).

## What we look for

- Initiatives that are useful to the OSL community.
- Activities aligned with open science, open-source software, reproducible
research, education, mentoring, or community building.
- Clear information about the audience, format, expected commitment, and how
people can participate.
- A welcoming approach that follows the OSL Code of Conduct and community
guidelines.

## Independent initiatives

Community Partner initiatives are independently organized and managed by their
own community managers, organizers, or maintainers. Open Science Labs helps
promote initiatives from community members that appear aligned with our mission
and values, but OSL is not responsible for their content, activities,
registration processes, schedules, materials, decisions, or outcomes.

Questions about a specific initiative should be directed to the initiative's
organizers. If you notice an issue with how an initiative is represented on this
page, or if you believe an initiative is not aligned with OSL values, please
contact us at [`team@opensciencelabs.org`](mailto:team@opensciencelabs.org).

## How to suggest an initiative

If you have an initiative to share, join our [Discord community](/discord/) and
post it in the `community-initiatives` channel with a short description,
organizer name, target audience, relevant links, and any important dates or
participation details.

## Code of Conduct

All Community Partner initiatives shared through Open Science Labs should follow
our [Code of Conduct](/about/coc/). We expect organizers and participants to
help keep these spaces welcoming, respectful, inclusive, and safe for everyone.
## Participation expectations

If you experience or notice any issue related to a Community Partner initiative,
please contact us at
[`team@opensciencelabs.org`](mailto:team@opensciencelabs.org).
Every opportunity listed here should provide clear information about the target
audience, format, expected commitment, schedule, participation link, organizer,
and any accessibility or location details. Community Partner initiatives should
also follow the [OSL Code of Conduct](/about/coc/) and help keep spaces
welcoming, respectful, inclusive, and safe for everyone.
