We are a non-profit, fiscally-sponsored project of Code for Science and Society , a US 501(c)(3) public charity.

We are a distributed team spread across South America, Western and Eastern Europe, and North America. We have a combination of experience in cloud engineering and open source, research and education, and open communities. Our Steering Council provides strategic guidance and oversight to our team.

Below is a list of each team and its members.

We are defined and driven by our mission, and believe that values are crucial to accomplishing our goals in a way that is equitable and accessible to all.

Here are some of the core values underlying 2i2c:

• 2i2c values fairness and justice as requirements for successful communities.
• 2i2c values learning and discovery for all people.
• 2i2c values collaborating and connecting to foster environments for learning and discovery.

We serve these values through a commitment to a few core principles:

• Build tools that maximize flexibility and choice
• Collaborate with open source and scientific communities
• Provide community and core support, not just new features
• Build tools that are accessible along a variety of dimensions

These principles help us guarantee our users the Right to Replicate the infrastructure we manage for them without having to rely on us.

To sustain and grow our operations, 2i2c receives funding from the following sources:

• Revenue from managed services. We build self-sustaining cloud services that generate revenue through management and support contracts. See our services page for more information.
• Project-focused grants. We lead and collaborate on several projects that involve developing and supporting infrastructure for research and education. See our projects page for more information.
• Donations and core support. We raise central funding that provides crucial core support for 2i2c’s operations, and supports our time in supporting open source communities.

Major sources of funding #

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative awarded 2i2c $1.4m over 3 years for capacity building in the Jupyter ecosystem for research and education.

Invest in Open Infrastructure along with Joint Roadmap for Open Science Tools awarded 2i2c a $5,000 grant to fund JupyterHub cloud infrastructure for projects that did not have their own cloud funding.

2i2c receives support from the Climate Data Lab at Columbia University (~$500,000 over 2 years), for managing and developing cloud infrastructure for the Pangeo Project .

We received funding from CZI to serve open cloud infrastructure to communities in Latin America and Africa. More information is in this blog post .
