Organization

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.

It’s a month after the end of Q1 2023, and we’d like to share a belated update about what we were up to in the first quarter of this year (we have good excuses for being late, including new tiny humans, I promise).

This is a brainstorm to consider the principles and guidelines that 2i2c should follow in defining its strategy towards open source communities. See our open source policy documentation for the product of this brainstorm.

2022 was a busy year for 2i2c - we not only grew our operations as well as our organization, but also grew our understanding of our mission and where we can have impact.

We recently completed a progress report for Year 2 of our primary CZI funding grant. This funding covers some core operations of 2i2c as well as engineering capacity to run our cloud infrastructure for JupyterHubs.
