We're going to use this repo as a playround to
- learn how GitHub and repos work, with particular attention on how it is a tool for artistic collaboration, and
- explore and design absurd, groovy, surreal text prompts that we can use to generate stickers for the upcoming Open Source Conference here at the unitiversity.

We invite anyone in the GW community to create open source stickers for our GW OSCON that will be held on March 24-25, 2025. The GW OSPO will select a few of the sticker designs that meet all the requirements listed below and pay to print the stickers and make them available for all attendees of the conference.
- Please adhere to our code of conduct
- Please follow our contributors guide for instructions about how to submit your designs
- Extra points for collaborating, being creative, and for highlighting some of the themes of the conference (openness, sharing, transparency, innovation, community building)
- Final designs due by Feb 10th, 2025
Here is the color palette for the conference logo, but there is no requirement to use these colors.
- #FFC82E RGB 255, 200, 46
- #E31937 RGB 227,25,55
- #008367 RGB 0, 131, 103

Any questions, do not hesitate to ask them here or to send an email to ospo@gwu.edu
Here is a list of some additional topics that our conference will explore for the purpose of inspiring more sticker designs:
- How do we bridge the open source gender divide?
- Open source for good
- Open versus closed, which is better for innovation & security?
- Continuous Open Science (is Agile science possible?)
- Open source for artists and poets
- OpenAI is not open source
- How do we build a GW open source community?
- How do we measure goodness?
