Join us as we collaborate on projects helping further science on the open web! We’re back with our second global sprint June 4-5, 2015. We could use your help to make this year’s event bigger and better than last.

Our inaugural sprint last July (#mozsprint, for short) brought together over 100 members of the community, from librarians to developers to bench scientists to hack for two-days on open science projects. Over 22 cities around the world were represented (53 hours of consecutive hacking!), and we need your help to do it again this June.

We’ve just opened our call for project ideas and site host (you’re welcome to sign up for both!):

1. Project ideas. Anything related to doing or teaching open science is a fit for this sprint. These can be tool-based, open educational resources or any other project ideas that
   a) further open science,
   b) have ways for folks to get involved and make some progress over the course of the sprint and
   c) have someone available to coordinate the work before and at the sprint.
   You can browse our featured projects or see the full list and propose your own on the planning etherpad.
2. Site hosts. Want to host a sprint site in your city? It could be for 3 people or 30 – you tell us. All you need is to provide a space for people to gather and work, a strong wifi connection, and perhaps some coffee. We’ll help with the rest. The sprint only runs through normal business hours, so no overnight coverage needed. Sign up to host on the planning etherpad

You can read about all of the projects last year here in our wrap up and hear from one of our participants here.

Interested? Head on over to our planning etherpad and add your details, or drop us a note at sciencelab@mozillafoundation.org. We hope you’ll come and collaborate with us as we help research thrive on the open web.
