Welcome to OLS-6! 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 (week starting 19 September 2022): Meet your mentor!

• [x] Meet mentor for 30 minutes
• [x] Create an account on GitHub
• [x] Check if you have access to the HackMD notes set up for your meetings with your mentor
• [x] Prepare to meet your mentor(s) by completing a short homework provided in your shared notes
• [x] Complete your own copy of the open leadership self-assessment and share it to your mentor If you're a group, each teammate should complete this assessment individually. This is here to help you set your own personal goals during the program. No need to share your results, but be ready to share your thoughts with your mentor.
• [x] Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

Before Week 2 (week starting 20 September 2021): Cohort Call (Welcome to Open Life Science!)

• [x] Attend call or catch up via YouTube

• [x] Create an issue on the OLS-4 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] Check the Syllabus for notes and connection info for all the cohort calls.

Before Week 3 (week starting 27 September 2021): Meet your mentor!

• [x] Meet mentor
• [x] Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their vision statement
• [x] Complete this compare and contrast assignment about current and desired community interactions and value exchanges
• [x] Complete your Open Canvas (instructions, canvas)
• [x] Share a link to your Open Canvas in your GitHub issue
• [x] Start your Roadmap
• [x] Comment on your issue with your draft Roadmap
• [x] Suggest a cohort name at the bottom of the shared notes and vote on your favorite with a +1

Before Week 4: Cohort Call (Tooling and roadmapping for Open projects)

• [x] Attend call or catch up via YouTube
• [ ] Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.

Week 5 and later

• [x] Meet mentor
• [x] Create a GitHub repository for your project
• [x] Add the link to your repository in your issue
• [ ] Use your canvas to start writing a README.md file, or landing page, for your project
• [ ] Link to your README in a comment on this issue
• [ ] Add an open license to your repository as a file called LICENSE.md
• [ ] Add a Code of Conduct to your repository as a file called CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
• [ ] Invite new contributors to into your work!

This issue is here to help you keep track of work as you start Open Life Science program. Please refer to the OLS-4 Syllabus for more detailed weekly notes and assignments past week 4.

Hi @moengels. I'm really excited to learn about your project (I come from a neuro background too).

Draft vision statement

We are creating an educational and connecting platform to bridge the gap between (super-resolution) microscopists and the broader public/non-microscopy labs to inspire interest into both optics and biophysics in future generations and make cutting-edge techniques more available to non-microscopy labs with eager contribution of the broader open microscopy community.

Hi @moengels. I'm really excited to learn about your project (I come from a neuro background too).

Hi @BrainonSilicon, we're looking forward to share what the super-resolution community has to offer! :)

@moengels I am excited to see this project developed. I really like that the vision statement includes both the public and labs that do not yet have the expertise/know-how for microscopy. P.S: I am also excited to see the beautiful microscopy images.

This is such a great project idea! The world of microscopy is so fascinating and yet so distant to most people. Your project will allow us to discover the fascinating universe that is all around us.
