Welcome to OLS-2! This issue will be used to track your project and progress during the program. Please use this checklist over the next few weeks as you start Open Life Science program :tada:.

---

Week 1 (31 August - 4 September 2020): Meet your mentor!

• [x] Create an account on GitHub
• [x] Check if you have access to the HackMD notes set up for your meetings with your mentor

Before Week 2 (7 - 11 September 2020): Cohort Call (Welcome to Open Life Science!)

• [x] Create an issue on the OLS-2 GitHub repository for your OLS work and share the link to your mentor.

• [x] Draft a brief vision statement using your goals

  This lesson from the Open Leadership Training Series (OLTS) might be helpful

• [x] Leave a comment on this issue with your draft vision statement & be ready to share this on the call

• [x] Suggest a cohort name at the bottom of the shared notes and vote on your favorite with a +1

Before Week 4 (21 - 25 September 2020): Cohort Call (Tooling and roadmapping for Open projects)

• [x] Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.

Week 5 and later

• [x] Create a GitHub repository for your project
• [x] Add the link to your repository in your issue
• [x] Use your canvas to start writing a README.md file, or landing page, for your project

Vision Statement

Our vision is to empower The Turing Way community with resources that enable them to confidently contribute to, and collectively maintain the book - so it remains consistent and accessible to all readers 🚀

This would be life saving for those scientist who are not Data-Scientist but some part of their work include data science.

Roadmap (draft)

The goals for this project are three-fold as discussed in the GSoD proposal:

• Retrospective Consistency (Making existing content of the book consistent)

• Sustainability (Creating templates to guide future contributions to make sure consistency is sustained)

• Accessibility (Making the book more user-friendly)

We plan to dedicate a month to work on each goal (Oct-Dec), starting with Retrospective Consistency over the month of October. Issue #1174 highlights the consistency issues that need to be addressed, but it would be extremely helpful if members of the community could point out other inconsistencies they have found as well. This would help us build a comprehensive list of issues to work on for our consistency goal.

@nehamoopen @paulowoicho Can you think about a vision that is specific for this project of The Turing Way? As in embedding accessibility in the guidance and not about the entire project?
