Take a Self-Assessment [SURVEY](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wJWvgHxAsQkf_kuM7AKXPr3lxw-_Yr5JUge73d5Zpq4/edit?usp=sharing) and share the outcome with their mentors during the call. - [Results of the survey](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HIy1X5neEnJtfK8PIwH3lE87-HMJgxTj7-NraU0o9JI/edit?usp=sharing) 2. Based on the insights gained from the survey, set 1-2 personal open science goals for yourself in OLS (it doesn't have to be about your project). - Improving my abilities to communicate the open projects I am involved in. - Understanding how to manage the maintenance of my open projects to guarantee their sustainability over time. - Learning about the open licenses and when it is proper to use each of them. - Creating networks of collaborations that support my open projects. 3. State how their mentors can best support them in OLS (providing accountability, connect them with right people, share useful resources, specific skill they can help them gain either directly or with the help of OLS experts) - I hope that mentors can help me to conclude this project by providing me advice related to good practices in open science. Also, it would be nice to receive feedback and suggestions for possible changes to improve the project. ## Week 1 **Roll call** - Sebastián Ayala - Julien Colomb - Alexander Martínez **Attendees** - Sebastián Ayala - Julien - Alexander ### Agenda and Notes for Week-1 - Introductions - get to know each other - Julien, swiss, work in Germany, PhD in biology, now work in data management.
