The co-authors of our latest blog post revisited some of the enduring insights they learned from a virtual workshop at CarpentryCon in 2022 about teaching in a crisis. Let us know what you think, and how many of these insights still resonate with you in 2025: www.carpentries.org/blog/2025/12...

Upcoming community sessions this week carpentries.org/community/ev... Events are in UTC Time : 📣 Welcome Session with The Carpentries 10 Nov 14:00 📣 Instructor Bi-Monthly Meeting 11 Nov 15:00

The Executive Director of The Carpentries, @drkariljordan.carpentries.org is attending the Mozilla Festival 2025 @mozilla.org #MozFest from 7-9 November in Barcelona, Spain - we encourage you to connect with her for an opportunity to chat about sponsorship and how you can support our work.

The support the Python community has shown to PSF for its decision has given us hope in the sustainability of open science communities. Please consider extending your generosity to our organisation’s fundraising efforts, and help us to reach others aligned to our mission: carpentries.org/support/

With this renewed attention to values-based decision making, we would like to use this opportunity to highlight The Carpentries' continued need for financial support. We hope that Python community members and like-minded organisations will also support the work of The Carpentries in some way.

Our choice came with financial challenges. In the context of our operating budget ($1.2 million in 2024), $1.5 million is a significant amount of money. The loss of those anticipated NSF funds, therefore, represents a substantial impact on our sustainability.

The Carpentries has an open appeal to our community and the general public for donations and sponsorships to help us make up the shortfall in funds due to our proposal withdrawal. We are deeply grateful for the encouragement and solidarity we received in response. We value all contributions!

PSF raised $65K+ within 24 hours of making their announcement, an amount which rose to $135K+ within a week in solidarity funds from 1400+ donors and 270+ new members. This is incredible financial support to PSF from the Python community!

We are thrilled with the renewed attention that The Carpentries has received for deciding to withdraw a $1.5 million proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF), thanks to a recent similar decision made by the @python.org (PSF) and the generous shout-out they gave us when they announced it. 🙏

🏙️ The Research Software Camp: Careers and Skills in Research Software begins in just one week. If you have not yet registered, have a look at the sessions and secure your place now. We look forward to welcoming you next week! www.software.ac.uk/news/one-wee...

@carpentries.carpentries.org also rejected a similar offer that would require them to give up any DEI work. Let's put our money where our morals are and support them: carpentries.org/support/

Between @python.org and @carpentries.carpentries.org, the open-source ecosystem is rejecting the administration's inquisition against DEI. If you can support them with a donation please do. I just did! Does anyone know about others who have declined NIH or NSF grant funding over over these terms?

I remember that @carpentries.carpentries.org withdrew a $1.5M proposal that had been recommended for funding in June, for the same reason. carpentries.org/blog/2025/06... They link out in their post to Grant General Conditions language but I do not know if that is current.
