20221126115754 https okfnlabs org about an open knowledge site join blog forum projects events about newsletter members contact what is labs we re a community of civic hackers data wranglers and ordinary citizens intrigued and excited by the possibilities of combining technology and information for good making government more accountable culture more accessible and science more efficient we focus on making things whether that s apps insights or tools we have a strong preference for open data and free open source software we re part of the open knowledge foundation and operate as a collaborative community which anyone can join labs is organized through a public github repository you don t need to be an uber geek to participate interest and a willingness to get your hands dirty digitally be that with making testing or helping is all that s needed though we do allow lurking on the mailing list principles we have some simple community principles that outline how we function and which act as a guide for community members openness open data open content and open tools in labs we only make open stuff we also have a strong preference for using open stuff but we aren t obsessed about this if excel or google docs or insert tool is what you use to get the job done that s ok positive and welcoming we re friendly to newcomers and old hands alike everyone was new once and sought to reinvent the wheel enthusiasm and support for others at all levels of skill and experience is important doing we re focused on the concrete not the abstract making not theorizing insights as well as apps insights analysis and stories may be just as valuable as the tools and the apps more than code designing testing documenting wrangling are just as valued as coding informal we don t get caught up in formal processes or hierarchies we only have process where its essential or authority where it matters such as access to limited resources management of shared infrastructure governance and roles whilst anyone can participate in labs without formally signing up you can self identify as an official member as a way to show you are part of the community anyone may become a member just sign up we also have a special category of official contributors and leads official contributors are members recognized for their contributions in labs and more widely contributors are entitled to certain privileges for example in relation to use of resources or in featuring projects on the site more detail about contributors can be found below leads one or more members may act on a rotating basis as leads helping to coordinate and organize labs activity they have authority and responsibility for things like email protected email address requisitioning new resources managing and delegating access to things like twitter website etc raising and responding to issues from members and the community the current leads are contributors privileges access to labs resources direct access to the website list and showcase projects in the projects list organize labs events responsibilities build run and support qa blogging docs something e g an app or service or viz etc ongoing participation contributors who can no longer actively participate become alumni becoming a contributor you become a contributor through a combination of contributing to labs associated project for a period of time and or doing good labs related work e g building a tool or doing an analysis that is highly regarded being recommended by an existing contributor you can stop being a contributor by any of the following just asking becoming inactive or uncontactable inactive means something like no commits on relevant repos no blog posts no contribution on the mailing list over a period of several months if you stop being a contributor you remain a member and are designated as a contributor alumni faqs is there a fee for being a member or a contributor simple answer no there s no fee and we do not plan to have one it is possible that at some point in the future we may want to think about this as a way to defray the costs of infrastructure if these get too large there would be a full community discussion on the matter if this ever did come up however our hope is that simple donations will suffice and if you are able to donate money or make an in kind contribution e g servers we d love to hear from you how is labs resourced labs is community based and run and its activities and management is done by its members as such there are no staff costs infrastructure such as hosting and storage are provided and managed on an ongoing basis by open knowledge foundation with contributions from the community the shuttleworth foundation provided financial support to set up labs and
