Advocating for The Carpentries: Participating in External Boards/Committees

[kariljordan]

Goal 6 in the Carpentries strategic plan is to Advocate for our values and vision to empower more people to work with data and software. Under this goal is the following objective: Encourage Core Team and Community members to

• serve on advisory boards of other organisations to provide guidance and advocacy in areas key to The Carpentries mission and vision and
• respond to requests for comments in these areas.

This issue collects information on boards or committees that Carpentries' Core Team and community members are a part of, and any requests for comments we have responded to related to advocating for more people to work with data and software.
