Project Lead: @majohansson

Mentor: Not assigned yet

Welcome to OL6, Cohort B! This issue will be used to track your project and progress during the program. Please use this checklist over the next few weeks as you start Open Leadership Training 🎉.

---

Before Week 1 (Sept 11): Your first mentorship call

• Complete the OLF self-assessment (online, printable). If you're a group, each teammate should complete this assessment individually. This is here to help you set your own personal goals during the program. No need to share your results, but be ready to share your thoughts with your mentor.
• Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

Before Week 2 (Sept 18): First Cohort Call (Open by Design)

• Complete Assignment 'Write Your Vision or Mission Statement'. Leave a comment on this issue with your draft vision statement & be ready to share this on the call.
• Watch 'Mozilla & Working Open'.
• Check the Syllabus for notes and connection info for all the cohort calls.

Before Week 3 (Sept 25): Mentorship call

• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their vision statement.
• Complete your Open Canvas (instructions, canvas). Comment on this issue with a link to your canvas.
• Start your Roadmap. Comment on this issue with your draft Roadmap.

Before Week 4 (Oct 2): Cohort Call (Build for Understanding)

• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.
• Pick an open license for the work you're doing during the program.
• Use your canvas to start writing a README, or landing page, for your project. Link to your README in a comment on this issue.

This issue is here to help you keep track of work during the first month of the program. Please refer to the OL6 Syllabus for more detailed weekly notes and assignments past week 4.

Vision: I’m working with scientists to conduct rapid, open reviews of preprint manuscripts so that other scientists, scientific journals, editors, reviewers, and journalists can rapidly identify the most important new science to help fight epidemics. I’m working open to help meet the needs of a diverse group of stakeholders in the context of outbreaks and beyond.

Vision (Draft 2): Public health officials, scientists, scientific journals, and the media can identify the most important and valid preprint research to help fight outbreaks through rapid, open reviews.

Hi Michael! I think your project is very interesting, and it can be very useful. About your vision, I think you can use words like scientists and journalist environment to make it shorter and with this, you don't have to repeat words 👍 This is great, keep doing it!

Brenda.
