Omar Khan joined The Carpentries in 2020 to support all aspects of communications for our organisation. He was the primary driver of getting the community the information they needed by developing our annual communications strategy and implementing our internal workflows. His work included, but was not limited to, compiling content for our newsletter, engaging the community on social media, and identifying important, timely, and interesting content for our blog. Omar is also an extremely talented graphic design artist who developed emojis, logos, templates, reports, and some really cool hex stickers.

Carpentries Gratitudes: 2022 and beyond

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

In 2019, the community initiated The Carpentries Gratitudes project as an opportunity to share an appreciation for each other and all that we have been able to accomplish together. We have carried on this tradition each December through blog posts, social media posts and recorded messages of thanks. Although the end of the year is a great time to reflect and show appreciation, we want to provide ongoing opportunities for members of our community to share their appreciation throughout the year. Therefore, starting in December 2022, we will have multiple channels available for you to say thanks.
