🎉 We're proud to share that Daniel Steger, Technical Community Manager at COS, has been named a 2026 BSSw (Better Scientific Software) Honorable Mention by the Better Scientific Software Fellowship Program!

This recognition reflects the vibrant community of builders, researchers, and developers who believe that open science needs open, sustainable infrastructure to thrive. Daniel's work sits at the heart of our Open Source Ecosystem (OSE) initiative

(🧵 1/3)

We're growing a community-driven ecosystem around the OSF so that it's not just maintained by COS, but shaped & extended by researchers & developers who use it.

⚙️ If you've built something that connects to the OSF, we want to hear about it! Have you:
- Used the OSF API in a project or workflow?
- Built a tool or integration on top of OSF?
- Extended OSF's capabilities to serve your research community?

We'd love to connect, collaborate, & amplify your work. Reach out to ✉️ [email protected]

Advancing Open Science Through Open Source Development

Scholarship advances best when knowledge, tools, and data are shared as public goods. Just as societies invest in roads, power grids, and internet infrastructure for the benefit of all, research communities need durable, open infrastructure to support discovery. Open source provides that foundation by ensuring that research systems are transparent, adaptable, and built for the long term.
