| 10 | + Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry, communities of Instructors, Trainers, |
| 11 | + Maintainers, helpers, and supporters who share a mission to teach |
| 12 | + foundational coding and data science skills to researchers. In January, |
| 13 | + 2018, The Carpentries was formed by the merger of Software Carpentry and |
| 14 | + Data Carpentry.</p> |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + <p>While individual lessons and workshops continue to be run under each |
| 17 | + lesson project, The Carpentries provide overall staffing and governance, as |
| 18 | + well as support for assessment, instructor training and mentoring. |
| 19 | + Memberships are joint, and the Carpentries project maintains a shared Code |
| 20 | + of Conduct. The Carpentries is a fiscally sponsored project of Community |
| 21 | + Initiatives, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit based in California, USA.</p> |

35 | | - <a href="{{ site.lc_site }}">Library Carpentry</a> is made by librarians to help librarians |
36 | | - automate repetitive, boring, error-prone tasks; |
37 | | - create, maintain and analyse sustainable and reusable data; |
38 | | - work effectively with IT and systems colleagues; |
39 | | - better understand the use of software in research; |
40 | | - and much more. |
41 | | - Library Carpentry was the winner of the 2016 |

| 59 | + <p><a href="{{ site.lc_site }}">Library Carpentry</a> is in discussions with |
| 60 | + The Carpentries to be a Lesson Project, like Software Carpentry* |
| 61 | + and Data Carpentry. Library Carpentry develops lessons and |
| 62 | + teaches workshops for and with people working in library- and |
| 63 | + information-related roles. Its goal is to create an on-ramp to empower this |
| 64 | + community to use software and data in their own work, as well as be |
| 65 | + advocates for and train others in efficient, effective and reproducible data |
| 66 | + and software practices.</p> |
