<div> </div>
<div>apologies for cross-posting: Please find below a call for open geospatial software (and data) volunteers for the Open Science & Data Help Deks at the upcoming EGU General Assembly in April. Attendance at the conference is _not_ required to support the Open Sciene & Data Help Desk.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Help Desk events of the past years were always great fun. Please share the news and lend a hand if you can.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>

Through the Help Desk, researchers can learn about skills and techniques that help further their research and make their data and software more open and FAIR.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: Arial;vertical-align: baseline;"> The Open Science & Data Help Desk will be staffed with experts from the Earth science informatics community to answer data- and software-related questions and to demo useful resources.</span></span></p>

This year you will notice that we added Open Science to our name. While we have always featured resources that can help researchers make their data and software more open, we (the organizers) want to acknowledge the growing importance and number of resources for doing so and especially bring some of these into the spotlight during the event this year.</span></span></p>
