As an organization committed to broadening access to interactive computing for global communities, we believe that a team embedded with diverse insights and lived experiences can more effectively advocate for underrepresented voices in our socio-technical partnerships.

Over the past several years, 2i2c has built a platform for serving community-centric hubs that provide a digital home for workflows in creating and sharing knowledge. See our three-year retrospective for a report about the growth and impact this service has had.

2i2c recently finished it’s three year retrospective after closing out its original seed grant. As part of this process, we’re revisiting our organizational strategy, structure, and overall plan, in order to incorporate the learning that we’ve done over our first three years.

This is a follow-up to our 2023 report of organizational strengths and weaknesses , describing some improvements we’ve made on our team’s coordination and delivery. In 2023, we released a report describing our organizational strengths and weaknesses .

We’re pleased to share a three-year retrospective report that was created to close-out 2i2c’s original seed funding grant provided by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative . See the Zenodo entry here: See the MyST website for the report at 2i2c.

Over the past few months, we’ve been investigating ways to improve our reporting both internally and externally. We’ve decided to experiment with a monthly community update to create a regular cadence of transparency and highlights from 2i2c for our broader community.

Over the last several months 2i2c has been working with an organizational consulting group called Difference Digital to help us identify the major opportunities and challenges in our organizational structure and strategy.

It’s been two quarters since our last major update - this isn’t quite as frequent as we’re hoping to post updates from our team, but we’re making adjustments to have more regular communication for reasons that will hopefully be a bit clearer below!

We are thrilled to announce a revitalized visual brand for 2i2c. As we continue to grow and evolve, it’s essential that our branding communicates who we are, what we stand for, and how we envision our future.
