Welcome to Emily Lescak - Project and Community Manager for the POSE Training Program | April 26, 2023 | Center for Scientific Collaboration and Community Engagement

"...At CSCCE, Emily will initially be fully immersed in the POSE Training Program. This NSF-funded program, which we are running in collaboration with Karthik Ram at UC Berkeley, supports awardees of NSF’s Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) program. The current pilot version of the training program involves more than 70 participants, all working to build sustainable open-source projects.  If you’re interested in learning more about the POSE Training Program, please visit the website!   As project manager for the program, Emily will work closely with our Director of Operations and Technology, Cat Dayger, to ensure the training program is delivered effectively, and that various stakeholders in the program are kept up-to-date on how things are going. As community manager, she will take ownership of the nascent community of practice we are nurturing with these open-source leaders. Each new cohort of the program will join the community, which is hosted on Slack, ensuring its continued growth, and Emily will work to foster connections both within and across these cohorts. Additionally, we’ll be hosting an unconference in the second year of the grant, and Emily will be key in ensuring this is a community-driven event...."
