+    2018, The Carpentries was formed by the merger of Software Carpentry and
+    Data Carpentry.</p>
+
+    <p>While individual lessons and workshops continue to be run under each

+    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>
