Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems
by David Witzel
[ed. note: Dave did an amazing job this year of shepherding a group of organizations within the greater Plex to collaboratively develop and submit applications for a US National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE). Here's an update. Ping Pete if you've got more questions for Dave.]
The proposals for the NSF POSE grant went in on September 7 and our group submitted several including:
- Hylo
- Terraso
- Active Inference
- Wildfire resilience scorecard
- Marine Permaculture Alliance
- and Wild Me
The intent is to create a core of open source investment and focus so that our regenerative future is not captured by extractive forces.
We’ll keep the group going for next year too.
From the NSF grant solicitation:
The Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) program aims to harness the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of national and societal importance. [...] The overarching vision of POSE is that proactive and intentional formation of [open source ecosystem (OSE)] managing organizations will ensure a broader and more diverse adoption of open-source products; increased coordination of external intellectual content developer contributions; and a more focused route to technologies with broad societal impact. Toward this end, the POSE program supports the formation of new OSE managing organizations [...].
