Openscapes Roadmap

(moved here from draft location)

Project Mission & Summary

To open up the landscapes of environmental science through open community, data, and code.

We are increasing the value and practice of open data science in environmental science by focusing on three things: engaging researchers, empowering them with existing open tools and communities, and amplifying their successes. We work 1:1 with early career researchers and help them improve their own practices by understanding how they work and identifying their next steps (as a recipe) toward openness. We help them become champions to enable other through their lab groups, their teaching, their seminars, and study groups on campus. Openscapes.org focuses has an engaging homepage, empowering resources and “recipes” from the champions, and a blog and twitter handle (@Openscapes) to amplify successes (and challenges) and build community.

What do we need to do? [TODO, this is is copied from STEMM]
This issue is our roadmap. It's a place to start to investigate the myriad of issues that you can contribute to. Check out the different milestones listed below, but feel free to explore the issues by label too.
Please check out our contribution guidelines and code of conduct to help you get started, and the README for an overview if you haven't read it yet!

Milestone: create slide decks (engagement)
Build off current versions in GoogleSlides, (not starting from scratch) consider switching to xaringan (Rmarkdown)

• 10 minute version for Oct 17 (NCEAS working group)
• 45 minute version for Oct 24 (WHOI invited seminar)

Milestone: create public TED-style pitch (engagement)

• 5-7 minutes without slides Oct 25 (MozFest)

Milestone: website mockup
May only be in Google doc at this stage. Will ultimately have content for engagement, empowerment, and amplify, but will start with engagement and beginnings of empowerment to launch the site

• Get feedback at Mozfest (Oct 25-28)

Milestone: reach out to prospective champions (engagement)

• Finalize list of cohort 1 champions to work with through 2018
• Craft and send emails
• Meet in person with 2 new champions (Oct 19-20), formalize engagement questions
