DARC: Data and Research CenterApr 3

Happy Birthday to Us!

April 1st marked one year of DARC.

A lot has happened this past year. We’ve committed to the commons with OpenAleph, rolled out some major improvements and new features, collaborated on incredible projects, and most importantly, built a community that continues to challenge and inspire us.

And of course, none of this would be possible without our growing team.

Buckle up for year two. We’ve got a lot of work to do!

I would have hoped that a new organization _about research_ would do research **before** choosing a name and an abbreviation.

Such research easily finds that DARC that has been active for 70+ years with currently some 33000 members and many international ties. I would have hoped the new folks would think twice before pirating a four-letter abbreviation that has been in consistent and wide-spread use for some 70+ years.

I would have hoped. Maybe I'm naive.
