Your Input Needed for the Tethys Platform NSF POSE Project!

[swainn]

Hi everyone,

We are very excited to announce that Aquaveo, in partnership with Lynker and Brigham Young University, has been awarded a National Science Foundation grant as part of the Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) program for Tethys Platform. This project will help us make the Tethys Platform open-source project more sustainable by enabling us to create an independent managing organization and provide resources to support and grow the community of users and developers.

We need your help to make this project a success! Starting in mid-January 2024 we will be conducting short, one-on-one interviews to learn more about you and your needs. You do not need to be in a technical discipline or a programmer to participate and no experience with Tethys Platform is required. We are seeking participants from a wide variety of occupations within the geoscience discipline. We are also looking to expand the Tethys Platform community, so please share this invitation with anyone in your network who you think may be interested.

To participate, please use the link below to share your contact information. We will contact you in early 2024 to schedule your interview.

We still have a big need for volunteers to participate in short, one-on-one interviews for this project! If you work in a GIS, scientific modeling, or data science discipline, please sign up! You do not need to be a programmer to participate. You also don't need to be familiar with Tethys Platform at all, so please share this with your colleagues.

Use the following form to sign up and we will contact you in about 2 weeks to schedule your interview:

Thank you to all who responded to this post about research interviews for the Tethys Platform NSF POSE project! We have been happy by the response and it has been great connecting with everyone!

Now, we are looking to refine our search a bit. Specifically, we're interested in talking to individuals who have contributed to an open source software project that wasn't their own. If this sounds like you, we would love to chat with you! You can sign up for a short 15 minute research interview with either @swainn or @shawncrawley using the links below.
