Winter 2024 Update

Dear UT Open Source Software Community,

Thank you for an excellent start to 2025! 

From our survey, last fall, we heard that your favorite training events include Creating Code for Research: GitHub, AI Tools, and Copyright, Open Source Data Analysis and Visualization with R, and our Containers series. We learned that Open Source Jobs You Didn't Know About is the training you would most like to see added to the training roster. We aim to please! The Code for Research and R trainings will be added to our fall roster considerations. The Containers series is currently open for registration and we are adding the Jobs talk to our Speakers Bureau, which debuts later this spring. We are so grateful for your input and participation with the Open Source Program Office!

We launched our training schedule this year with our Immersive Python workshop January 11 and 12 and have seen more than 300 people at the three trainings we have offered so far this year. We especially appreciate those of you who schlepped through the thunder and lightning yesterday, to attend our Intro to Python for Data Management event. Our next training will be Techniques for Reproducible Scientific Computing (previously known as our Containers series) offered virtually through the Texas Advanced Computing Center. The three-part series kicks off on February 18 and concludes on March 4. All are welcome--including those of you who are from our sibling UT System universities and CURIOSS friends. Register today! And we hope to see many of you online or in-person at our Research Compute Summit from 10:00-12:00 on April 4 in the PCL Scholars Lab.

We look very forward to seeing you at our Speakers Bureau Debut and at our Summer Impact! Hackathon (June 27-29) and other events this spring! If you can't wait to see us at an event and you have open source software thoughts or questions, come visit us 1-1, schedule a consultation.

Happy Spring!

The UT-OSPO Team
