"None of us are trained or supported or handling in supporting and maintaining a community that build open source software" - @fperez at the #NASACERN #OpenScience summit

"Not all of us end up doing this, but the ones that do... it ain't pretty" - Fernando Pérez

Fernando is highlighting the work by @thecarpentries and MetaDocencia (@lacion!) as organisations that teach people to do/contribute to #OSS and make these things better :toot:

"We need to run away from metrics that are one dimensional. The temptation to reduce complex things to a number is tempting, but the problems and the toxicity that arise from this are problematic" - @fperez at #NASACERN #OpenScience summit

"We need to think of other ways to assess intellectual value, extending beyond the publication to sustain healthier scientific communities." - @fperez

(my interpretation of the quote due to some language and stream interruptions.. 😬)

"The number of people from Latin America in leadership positions is miniscule, especially compared to the userbase. I'm going to spend my sabbatical time to build capacity and work on problems that are relevant to Latin America. If #UNESCO wants to provide resources for that - I'd be happy to talk!" - @fperez

(answer to a question by Ana Persic on the involvements of the Global Majority in #OSS)
