Open Source
What does UCL do to promote Open Source (Software, Data, Hardware, Educational Resources, Science, …)? In these pages you’ll find our efforts to find that out.
Many of us are from UCL’s Advanced Research Computing Centre (ARC), but we are not alone. Check our people page to find out who we are. From within ARC we are leading the efforts to build an Open Source Programme Office in UCL.
In these pages you will find:
- Announcements of Activities & events that are happening in UCL (or near by) related to Open Source.
- News related to Open Source that is of interest to the UCL community.
- Work done to create and consolidate the Open Source Programme Office, including submission to talks and funding proposals.
- A number of Guides that you may find useful.
Our news page is available as an RSS feed, and our upcoming events as a published calendar.
