#HBD to arXiv!🎈

On August 14, 1991, the very first paper was submitted to arXiv. That's 34 years of sharing research quickly, freely & openly!

Some baby pictures to show how far we've come . . . when we were just a computer under a desk in 1991. . . & in our 1994 punk phase . . . 👶💾

Give a birthday present to arXiv on our birthday to support #openscience & arXiv for many birthdays to come. 🎁

Continued thread

Positionality statements can help researchers to reflect on their own research process and can be a first step towards opening and sharing this process.
We will use writing prompts to guide attendees towards a first draft of their positionality statement. Attendees will be working with a workbook and are invited to write with pen on paper for this session.

📢 Exciting news—Eliot Robson is our new rotating Editor in Chief! 🎉

A past package submitter and reviewer, Eliot brings experience and a collaborative spirit to guiding pyOpenSci’s peer review process—helping maintainers make scientific Python packages more robust, reusable, and sustainable.

💛 Join us in congratulating him!
