🚨 Important Updates for Self-Organised Workshops (SOWs) 🚨

We're making a few changes to support the sustainability of our Self-Organised Workshops!

1. Due to rising costs, AWS instances used in Data Carpentry Genomics workshops will now have a fee.
2. Updated SOW Definition & Submission Guidelines.

We understand that these changes are significant, and our goal is to continue sustainably providing support moving forward.

Full details can be found in today's blog post: https://carpentries.org/blog/2025/02/changes-to-self-organised-workshops/

As always, we are available for questions, concerns, and feedback. Please email [email protected].

Thank you for your continued support—your impact is invaluable!

Today, we celebrate: The Carpentries has come to its end as a fiscally sponsored project and is officially an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation!

This momentous achievement did not happen overnight, but is a culmination of many years of efforts from the Executive Teams and Governance structures of The Carpentries, supported throughout by our incredible global community. 🙏

Today, we share the 2023 Community Survey Evaluation Report, a summary of the responses to our inaugural community survey.

The community survey was designed and launched late last year to inform and prioritise our work and that of the Core Team so that The Carpentries can better serve the community.

Read up on the highlights and download the report: https://carpentries.org/blog/2024/03/sharing-the-community-survey-evaluation-report/

Today is #GivingTuesday, a global opportunity for us to use the individual power of generosity to support communities and important causes. In this appeal, our Executive Council Member @microstevens shares how, as an involved community member, she found it difficult to make the jump to also donating money to The Carpentries, but explains why today she does so gladly and invites more #CarpentriesCommunity members to join her in doing so: https://carpentries.org/blog/2023/11/celebrate-givingtuesday-with-the-carpentries/
