Description

Open Humans enables participatory science by putting individuals in control over how their data can be used by traditional scientists and citizen scientists alike. Individuals can register on Open Humans, connect different data sources and then join projects and studies with which they want to share these data. One of the best parts: Everyone can start their own project on the platform! You have an idea for a great project that should totally be on Open Humans? We offer small grants of up to $5,000 to help you implement those ideas!

What are we working on during the do-a-thon? What kinds of support do we need?

The Open Humans team has a couple of things we have on our list for the do-a-thon! One of the big things that's been on our radar for a while is finishing the bridge between openSNP and Open Humans. But there's also a good number of "smaller" issues to be fixed!

Besides this we want to hold Open Office Hours. If you want to learn more about Open Humans, talk about your new project ideas, or even need some help in drafting a proposal for the project grants, you can talk to us all day long.

How can others contribute?

If you feel that any of the code related issues are something where you can make a difference, please be in touch with us and get the coding going! We won't be physically at OpenCon this year. Thus the best way to be in touch with us is via or Slack, which everyone is more than invited to join! Join us there in #opencon-doathon to talk code or project ideas!

As our team is based in multiple time zones you'll have a chance to interact with us during European and Californian hours! Our primary language is English, but we can accommodate some German and potentially further languages.

I finished the integration of openSNP as I had planned. It was nice to have an excuse to work on this highly concentrated for a day! 🎉 I wrote a quick blogpost on it as well!

Hope this will become a staple at opencon! 😍
