# Individuals

As with so many other fields, open source in academia is ofter driven by individuals, as opposed to permanent projects and institutions. Especially with hyperconnectors, knowing who to talk to and their context can be invaluable. While this website can never hope to be a rolodex of everyone relevant in the field of open source software in academia, having some pages here can potentially be useful.

If you have shown up for a SustainOSS Academic Working Group call and if you would like to have yourself listed here as someone interested in open source in academia, please add your information below. This list is both publicly available and editable; feel free to make a PR to add or remove yourself at any time.

Open source software is everywhere. In an academic context, it can be used either for research software, within an ed tech context used by the administration, or as a topic of instruction to students. Open source also is built into all layers of software used by academics, as well of industry at large. It can also be an object of study for researchers seeking to learn more about code generation and usage, collaborative networks, and so on.

The many areas where open source can apply means that navigating the landscape of open source software can be difficult to practitioners looking to specialize in open source as a whole.

[SustainOSS](https://sustainoss.org) is a community of people who hold space for conversations around the long term sustainability of both open source code and the communities that build and use it. As part of this work, the Academic working group meets in order to discuss sustainability issues within open source.

At the moment, we have these sections:

- [Universities](./universities.md). This is meant to cover universities which have a formal relationship with open source. While many universities have an open access or open research policy, sometimes publicly available, and while many universities have researchers who use or work on open source, only a few universities have allocated funding for a lab, department, library resources, or staff to work on open source issues. Sometimes, this takes the form of an Open Source Program Office (OSPO), but not always, and this appelation covers a variety of tasks that the university may already be doing in a formal manner.
- [Organizations](./organizations.md). There are many groups which work on open source within an academic or research context. Sometimes, these are foundations which do work academically - or, they could just be user groups or special interest groups that meet to discuss in a less formal manner.

# Communities and Organizations

Open source in academia is often driven by communities and non-profit organizations that work across institutions, fields, and boundaries.
