Building Sustainable Open-Source Dashboards
Archival Strategies for Long-Term Access
This workshop teaches sustainable open-source dashboard development using free tools with a focus on long-term archival strategies. Participants learn about accessible, maintainable dashboards that survive project funding cycles through proper documentation, containerisation, and community-driven maintenance approaches, ensuring content remains available beyond initial development periods.
The workshop will highlight different tools and strategies, and will include group discussions, and the development of a shared resource for future reference. Hopefully this workshop will generate new ideas and workflows for the community to use!

Workshop content
I’ve create a brief introductory presentation, and then we’ll get into discussing the various options and ideas I’ve added to the resources list. You can provide feedback/suggestions/ideas via the GitHub discussions (requires a GitHub account), or via the VeVox Q&A (doesn’t require registering/an account).
Hopefully, we’ll be able to add to this document over time and build a resource for researchers looking for strategies around sustaining dashboards. See our contribution guide in the repository ReadMe file.
