Open-Source Science (OSSci) is a NumFOCUS initiative – in partnership with IBM – that aims to accelerate scientific research and discovery through the overall improved application (that is, the use, development, sustainability, coordination across disciplines, etc.) of open source in science, specifically in our initial focus areas chemistry/materials, life sciences, and climate/sustainability.
I’m part of a two-person team at IBM that’s been driving this program since the launch of OSSci in July 2022. And now NumFOCUS is getting ready to hire a full-time program manager on their end to further boost our combined efforts:
