There is no specific Carpentries format. And we're also not striving to make these into 4 hour modules. So I'd skip this since it is not a thing.

I modified the text to say that we will package them in a shareable format.

Are we paying lip service to this or do we really plan to do this? The carpentries cant really take this on without a fte (otherwise we're offering them a free puppy that they have to feed, walk and raise). In the past Library Carpentry came about because of an IMLS grant that pad for a 3 year FTE to coordinate the effort. Other proposed carpentries haven't come together because of lack of proper resources. So unless we're budgeting for this and have a MOU in the works, we should not commit them to doing anything.

We can add it later after a discussion with the Carpentries leadership if needed, but for now we shouldn't without an explicit commitment.

Sounds good. Can I merge this change now or do you have other thoughts?

Can we say something stronger than what's left? Perhaps we will instigate a community activity to find volunteers (including our staff in some cases) to maintain these lessons? And will work with the carpentries to make sure these fit into their existing material/lessons? |
Hey @JeffCarver - I'm not sure why you asked me to review this, but then merged it before I had a chance to comment. |
@danielskatz my apologies, @karthik said it was good to merge so I did. If you want to make an edit, please feel free to change it to read stronger. |
I think there's a philosophical difference here about if this plan is a commitment or an intention. |
Maybe this is something that we should discuss more globally. It likely applies beyond this one issue. I was just going based on @karthik hesitancy to commit the Carpentries to something. But, the text should say whatever the group is comfortable saying. |
I think it would be good to discuss. If these are intentions, then we can use language like strive to work with The Carpentries. But we should not state that as a commitment. |
this seems good to me |
