+ Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry communities of Instructors, Trainers,
+ Maintainers, helpers, and supporters who share a mission to teach
+ foundational coding and data science skills to researchers and people
+ working in library- and information-related roles. In January,
+ 2018, The Carpentries was formed by the merger of Software Carpentry and
+ Data Carpentry. Library Carpentry became an official Carpentries Lesson Program in November 2018.</p>
+
+ <p>While individual lessons and workshops continue to be run under each
+ lesson project, The Carpentries provide overall staffing and governance, as
+ well as support for assessment, instructor training and mentoring.
+ Memberships are joint, and the Carpentries project maintains a shared Code
+ of Conduct. The Carpentries is a fiscally sponsored project of Community
+ Initiatives, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit based in California, USA.</p>
