Thanks to everyone that participated in the 4th Mozilla-Library Carpentry Global Sprint. Unlike the 3 previous sprints, this year’s sprint stretched across the full month of May with the majority of the sprint taking place 30-31 May 2019.

The sprint started earlier in the month with Centre for Digital Scholarship at Leiden University Libraries drafting a Top 10 FAIR Data & Software Things for Astronomy.

63 sprinters from 8 countries registered for the sprint but some of these individuals brought friends with them to the sprint.

For the month of May, there were 56 active authors, 82 active issues, 77 active pull requests, and 197 commits.
