# Context + Plan

[Application](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HDhUFCaDUDiQsY3NPhsJ395FFTHaQgZee9Idigzh-_A/edit?usp=sharing)

[Schedule](https://openlifesci.org/ols-4)

- REG are meant to be proponents of Open Source, but currently our approach is very project-specific
- We are not constrained by what we put in our application

### To-Do
- Organise a mentor intro call
- Decide what we are actually going to do...

### Questions
- What is Open Source? (what does this mean to us/REG?)
- What is best practice in terms of Open Source?
- What would we do if we had unlimited time?
  - We might be able to get additional support in terms of time & funding


### Potential deliverables / activities
- Zero-to-Binder workshops
- Set up Turing Interest Group

### Comments
- [name=Luke] Important distinction between OLS programme and Open Source Service Area (but mutually beneficial, and we essentially are the OSSA now...)
- 



## Brainstorming 10/09/21

- TPS Open Science "What is open research?".
- 
-  
-    Turing survey to assess usage of binder, and barriers? 
-
