" summary

Claims that modest, concrete interventions change research culture: publish code with an MIT/BSD license, put a clear README, contributing.md and code of conduct on GitHub, label good‑first‑bugs, run a roadmap and onboarding. Pilot runs a 22-person leadership cohort with 30-minute biweekly mentorship, then a 40-site global sprint; contributions and GitHub activity spike. Workshops plus ongoing one‑on‑one mentorship produce measurable contributor growth and runnable, reusable research code.
