Vision I want to build a searchable database of OLS projects to make the projects easier to navigate for past, current, and future OLS participants.

Hello Angelica. The pleasure is mine. First of all. I'am working on a similar project that includes the creation of a database of open science communities, organizations and events in Latin America. So I think it would be useful to be in contact and exchange views and tools with you. As for your vision statement, I am curious to know who are your allies and collaborators in the project.

Dear @PatriLoto, thank you for your comment and sorry for the late reply! I'd love to discuss the approach to building a database, shall we maybe schedule a call to go through our Roadmaps? As for the vision statement: because it is such a "meta" project, the contributors and the users are OLS participants, and this is something I encountered also when making the Canvas. Do you think I should make it more explicit also in the vision statement?

Hi Angelica, I hope you are doing well. You have a good project. Its very clear and understandable. I am pretty sure it will help future OLS members.

Hi, @AngelicaMaineri! This is a thoughtful and timely project, considering how fast the number of OLS projects are increasing. Kudos!

P.S. I love the brevity and conciseness of your vision statement! 💯

Your Open Canvas is specific and descriptive. Very easy to navigate! 🚀

This is a model in my opinion. I definitely love how every action is straightforwardly outlined into actionable points. Good work @AngelicaMaineri

[PetraAG]

This is really great Angelica. I am working on something similar and you have been of great help.
