Apply to showcase the Turing Way Community at the UN Open Source Week (22nd to 26th June) during Community Day. Deadline is 31st March!

[Preshh0]

The UN Open Source Week has a Community Led event, and I am looking to see if we could submit something Turing Way related.

• Link to submit proposal by 31 March: https://lnkd.in/e9qD4rEj
• Register your interest in attending UN Open Source Week: https://lnkd.in/eNhxcAHH

My current line of thought is to do something similar to the book dash workshop held during the Collaborations Workshop last year (CW25).

We share about the Turing Way, and do a mini-version of the book dash.

I think this can also be in line with current efforts to share more about the Turing Way.

Please let me know your thoughts, very open to feedback! If anyone might likely be in attendance/wants to collaborate, let me know, and we can submit together.

Thank you!

This looks great @Preshh0 - but the deadline is tomorrow (for me in CA, today for you I think!)

Do you think you can submit something?

I'm supportive if you can!

Here's what I have been able to come up with:

Session Title

From Knowledge to Contribution: Making Reproducibility Too Easy Not to Do

Brief Description

The Turing Way aims to make reproducibility “too easy not to do.” This interactive workshop introduces its principles and enables participants to learn and practice reproducible research through guided, hands-on activities.

Submission Details

This interactive workshop is designed to move participants from awareness to practice by making reproducibility and other best practices of the open science approachable, practical, and actionable. Grounded in the already existing information on the Turing Way book's core principles, the session uses a structured, community-driven format inspired by our bi-yearly event called Book Dash: Participants are invited to collaboratively work on The Turing Way book in a synchronous sprint to develop new chapters and review or edit existing content, improving accessibility, clarity, and relevance. The session lowers barriers to entry for contributing to open science and enables participants to apply reproducible practices in their own work.

The session will begin with a short, accessible introduction to reproducible research and open science practices through The Turing Way, highlighting why reproducibility matters and common barriers to adoption. This will be followed by guided, hands-on activities where participants apply best practices in real time.

Participants will work in small groups on curated exercises focused on:

• Improving documentation clarity and structure
• Applying accessibility and inclusive writing principles
• Understanding reproducible workflows in research and development

The workshop is designed to be inclusive of both technical and non-technical participants, requiring no prior open source experience. Facilitators will provide templates, examples, and support throughout to ensure all attendees can actively engage.

By the end of the session, participants will:

• Understand key principles of reproducibility
• Gain practical experience applying them
• Build confidence to integrate these practices into their own work and communities

This session contributes to capacity building by equipping participants with the skills and mindset needed to support more transparent, collaborative, and sustainable open ecosystems.

The possible topics to submit under are:

• Capacity building and ecosystem development
• Open source and AI for public benefit
• Building Systems for Collaboration
• Global perspectives and localization
• Justice and Fairness
• Digital Public Goods / Infrastructure
• Justice and Fairness
• Building Systems for Collaboration

I picked Capacity building and ecosystem development.

I have submitted it, as the timeline is tight and I may not get feedback on time. But, it is editable and I can always implement feedback until submission closes so if you see this and have suggestions, or any sort of feedback, please let me know!
