Welcome to OLS-7! This issue will be used to track your project and progress during the program. Please use this checklist over the next few weeks as you start Open Life Science program 🎉

• Prepare to meet your mentor(s) by completing a short homework provided in your shared notes

  If you're a group, each teammate should complete this assessment individually. This is here to help you set your own personal goals during the program. No need to share your results, but be ready to share your thoughts with your mentor.
• Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

Before Week 2: Cohort Call (Welcome to Open Life Science!)

• Attend call or catch up via YouTube

• Create an issue on the OLS-4 GitHub repository for your OLS work and share the link to your mentor.

• Draft a brief vision statement using your goals

  This lesson from the Open Leadership Training Series (OLTS) might be helpful

• Check the Syllabus for notes and connection info for all the cohort calls.

Before Week 3: Meet your mentor!

• Meet mentor
• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their vision statement
• Complete this compare and contrast assignment about current and desired community interactions and value exchanges
• Complete your Open Canvas (instructions, canvas)
• Share a link to your Open Canvas in your GitHub issue
• Start your Roadmap
• Comment on your issue with your draft Roadmap
• Suggest a cohort name at the bottom of the shared notes and vote on your favorite with a +1

Before Week 4: Cohort Call (Tooling and roadmapping for Open projects)

• Attend call or catch up via YouTube
• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.

Week 5 and later

• Meet mentor
• Create a GitHub repository for your project
• Add the link to your repository in your issue
• Use your canvas to start writing a README.md file, or landing page, for your project
• Link to your README in a comment on this issue
• Add an open license to your repository as a file called LICENSE.md
• Add a Code of Conduct to your repository as a file called CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

I am working with allies to raise awareness of the researchers and build up the Open Science community in Egypt so that they can increase their visibility and make their work more efficient

Hi Doaa! Congrats on the very relevant project! After reading your vision statement I have a question: who are the "allies"? I would be curious to understand who are the stakeholders involved/motivated to help you in this endeavor!

Hi, Angelica,
My allies are my team and the organizations that will support us.
and our stakeholders will be the researchers

Hi Doaa! First of all I think your project has a lot of potential. I'am working on a similar project that also includes the creation of an open scientific community in Latin America. So I think it would be useful to exchange views and tools with you.
On the other hand, regarding your vision statement as a suggestion, I think it would be useful to specify in it who are the "allies" of your project to make it easier to understand the vision of your project.

Hi @doaamkader, your project looks very interesting! Especially relevant to me because my project is quite similar, though with a more focused target group. Hoping to learn from your work along the way! 😊

Hi @PatriLoto Thank you for your comment, for sure we can discuss our ideas and exchange tools, and for the vision statement I am working to improve it

[LandiMi2]

Sure, sure @PatriLoto, we are happy to share ideas and collaborate in the future.
