We aim to improve access to open data science practices and tools and support communities in open data science to grow sustainably and inclusively.
We empower communities to work together and build innovative technology for the public good.

We support communities across domains, enabling projects to learn from each other to develop future-facing solutions that empower people. We are looking for projects that want to participate in our community, who value collaboration over competition, and who are aligned with our mission.
