Connecting Open Source Biomolecular Software Communities
Proposal Summary
To effectively support community building efforts across open source ecosystems in molecular sciences, improve contributor pipelines, and seek synergies and collaboration opportunities in this space.
Project
The Open Molecular Software Foundation (OMSF) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to facilitate cross-institutional collaboration and accelerate scientific, technical, and commercial progress through rapid development and dissemination of high-quality, open source research software in computational molecular sciences. This project will fund a community manager to connect and integrate with neighboring projects and efforts in the open source community, as well as fund in-person events to strengthen the relationship between OMSF team members and collaborators from industry and academia.
