||
## General Description | ||
|
||
A Key Research Center serving as the Open Programs Office for RIT, our mission is to support RIT projects, scholarship, and research. Primarily, we work with the RIT community to increase their impact and translation by using [Open Work](https://openworkdefinition.com/) best practices and infrastructure around their dissemination. We also work with faculty to support software and web development around these projects. We provide these services to all members of the RIT community for their new or ongoing scholarly and/or creative work. | ||
|
||
## Core Objectives | ||
|
||
Open@RIT's purpose: | ||
|
||
- Introduce the concepts and practices of collaborative ecosystems "Open Across The University" for Faculty, Staff, and Students. | ||
- Guide the academic community in the implementation of Open tools and launching of open communities. | ||
- Enhanse the efforts of researchers with Open community plans and various Ooen resources to help them achieve the best result possible. | ||
- Expand RIT’s impact on all things Open, including, but not limited to, Open Source Software, Open Data, Open Science, Open Hardware, Open Educational Resources, and Creative Commons licensed efforts, what we like to refer to in aggregate as Open Work. | ||
|
||
## Primary Contacts | ||
|
||
- [Stephen Jacobs](mailto:[email protected]), Director | ||
- [Michael Nolan](mailto:[email protected]), Associate Director | ||
- [Christopher Baker](mailto:[email protected]), Assistant Director | ||
|
||
## Other Context | ||
|
||
Open@RIT’s origin goes back to 2009 and an honors course for developing educations games for the One Laptop Per Child program. This would evolve into the first of its kind, academic minor as well as a three-course immersion in Free Culture and Free and Open Source Software. | ||
|
||
Open@RIT also organized The Summit on Open Work in Academia, bringing together leaders from academia, industry, the U.S. government, and philanthropy to explore collaborative ways to support Open Work. | ||
|
||
Additionally, Open@RIT established and maintains the Open Work Definition at [https://openworkdefinition.com/](https://openworkdefinition.com/), facilitating collaboration and cross-pollination by addressing commonalities in Open Science and nine other open practices. | ||
|
||
The Open@RIT Open programs office is supported by the [Alfred P. Sloan Foundation](http://sloan.org/). |

# UT Austin | ||
|
||
- *OSPO*: Yes, situated across the university in the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), the central IT office, (CIO), the School of Information (iSchool), and the University Libraries. | ||
- *Personnel*: PI - Dr. Jennifer Schopf (TACC), co-PI and Director - Dr. Angela Newell (CIO), co-PI - Dr. James Howison (iSchool), co-PI - Michael Shensky (Libraries). | ||

|
||
## General Description | ||
|
||
UT Austin's OSPO is one of the few OSPOs that works with a super computing center. It is also at one of the top-funded academic institutions in the US, with between 2-4 billion in research and grant funding every year. Currently, they are trying to hard-wire the OSPO into the university, which includes training staff and hiring staff-training resources. | ||
|
||
## Core Objectives | ||
|
||
- Be better at wrangling code for reproducibility purposes. | ||
- Building out containers, code-wrangling resources, and so on. | ||
- Develop an ecosystem so people know where to go for help, so that we can advance science and scholarship. | ||
|
||
## Primary Contacts | ||
|
||
- Angela Newell, Director and co-PI | ||
- Jennifer Schopf, PI | ||
|
||
## Other Context | ||
|
||
The University of Texas Open Source Program Office (UT-OSPO) is the center for open source activity, connection, training, and support to enable open source practices as a key part of the university mission. With financial support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, this project is led by personnel from UT Austin’s central IT services, Libraries, iSchool, and TACC in order to form an umbrella organization that is more than the sum of its pieces. | ||
|
||
The UT-OSPO coordinates a shared open infrastructure for software development, establishing a central hub for open source support that enables the university to leverage and formalize the pre-existing infrastructure on campus, unify and expand the work already being done in this space, create additional opportunities for engagement among faculty and students, and foster interdisciplinary connections across departments and units. | ||
|
||
This infrastructure promotes more reproducible and open research through the development of an ecosystem of researchers engaging and growing open source skills and practice through a pathway of participation. We provide support through: | ||
|
||
- joint training | ||
- personalized consultations | ||
- lecture series | ||
- a help desk network | ||
- publishing of best practices, and | ||
- events that help students, faculty, and staff engage with open source software. | ||
|
||
The UT-OSPO is supported by the [Alfred P. Sloan Foundation](http://sloan.org/), grant G-2023-20944. |
