📢 We are inviting our subcommunities to design their subcommunity's logo by modifying The Carpentries logo! This would be a wonderful way for our subcommunities to visually “brand” their identity and activities. 🌎 More information is outlined in our recent blog post: carpentries.org/blog/2025/12...

Great to teach a Git version-control session as part of the workshop on reproducible workflows for scientific computing! 💻 👩‍💻📊 Workshop from the @carpentries.carpentries.org in collaboration with @babeheim.bsky.social hosted by @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social #git #coding #github #AcademicSky

🇺🇦 Subcommunity Spotlight: The Carpentries in Ukraine A collaborative network of Ukrainian researchers working to translate lessons, support learners, and expand access to key coding and data skills. The subcommunity meets monthly to share updates and strengthen their work together.

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 09 December 2025 00:00 📣 Instructor Bi-Monthly Meeting 09 December 2025 15:00 & 21:00

So today on this #GivingTuesday it's a chance to celebrate + support the people and orgs behind open infrastructure. Donate, volunteer, amplify—it all counts in supporting and contribute to this work. 💚 #OpenInfrastructure

But here’s the paradox: When infrastructure works, it can be invisible. The better it functions, the easier it is to overlook, especially when it’s time to show support. #GivingTuesday #OpenScience

Just a few of the quiet champions behind open research are orgs like: @datadryad.bsky.social @creativecommons.bsky.social @prereview.bsky.social @carpentries.carpentries.org @pyopensci.org @ropensci.org @thecscce.bsky.social @datacite.org @crossref.bsky.social ...

Scientific open infrastructure is the invisible backbone of research. It’s what connects scientists across disciplines + borders, builds essential skills, sparks collaboration, and preserves knowledge for future discovery. #OpenScience #OpenInfrastructure

Today is #GivingTuesday, a global celebration of generosity that inspires people worldwide to lift the causes they care about. We call on our supporters to recommit to our mission and core values and make a one-time or recurring donation. 💙 DONATE TO THE CARPENTRIES: www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

Every activity we do provides us with 3 payments: pocket/wallet payment, the payment for the heart, and the payment for the brain. "As managers and leaders, as people in charge and responsible for others, we must take care of that balance in the three currencies of payments." @yabellini.bsky.social

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. 🙏

🌍 We’re celebrating progress toward a more inclusive Glosario! With support from the Mellon Foundation, our community has enhanced accessibility, improved contributor recognition, and increased multilingual participation.

🔊 Our Associate Director of Community @angeliquetrusler.carpentries.org is again engaging in-person with open science communities in Africa. 💙 TODAY, she's at #UbuntuNetConnect2025 in Zimbabwe, where she will also be talking about Advancing Inclusive Open Science at 11:30 AM ⏰ in the Main Hall. 🌟

@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/

So you joined PSF (Python Software Foundation) as a supporting member because they gave up money for the sake of inclusion. Great! Donated? That's great too! I'd also encourage you to look at The Carpentries and give them some money. They did the same thing. And they do good work! carpentries.org

"Research Software Camp: Careers and Skills in Research Software" organised by @softwaresaved.bsky.social includes "Контроль версій за допомогою Git" (Version control with Git) lesson by @carpentries.carpentries.org taught in Ukrainian on 17 November 2025 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/git-ticket...

On the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language, let me introduce the project of translating UNIX shell, Git, Python and R lessons by The Carpentries (@carpentries.carpentries.org) into Ukrainian language, and building a community to teach them to Ukrainian researchers: ukrainian-carpentries.github.io

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.

I'd also like to shout out @carpentries.carpentries.org for leading the way on this, having made a similar decision earlier this year.

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?

It's striking that relatively small orgs like @carpentries.carpentries.org and @python.org are standing up for what's right, while so many much larger orgs with deeper pockets are quick to acquiesce and throw their communities under the bus. They are pointing the way for the future of science.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵
