Hi Marion! We would love to do everything we can to support your internship program. Can you link to a little more info about what you are doing (website, proposal)?
Using our infrastructure to support research among communities of color actually emerged as a top priority from our discussion last week, see this post:
We are not shutting down ocean.pangeo.io. The main point is that, going forward, we will need to be a bit more deliberate about how we direct our resources. Currently, we just run a completely open system which anyone can use for any purpose. That’s obviously not sustainable for the long term. We also need to be more conscious about collecting metrics and documenting outcomes, in order to justify future funding.
Please have the interns fill out the form and mention the internship program in their project description. We will make sure that their accounts are migrated appropriately.
If you want to discuss this in more detail, feel free to send me a DM or email.
Thanks for your work!
