<h1>Conservancy Welcomes the Common Workflow Language as a Member Project</h1>
<em>2018-04-10. For immediate release.</em>

<p>Software Freedom Conservancy welcomes the <a href="http://www.commonwl.org/">Common Workflow Language  (CWL) project</a> as Conservancy's newest member project.  The project develops and maintains a specification for describing data analysis workflows and tools in a way that makes them portable and scalable across a variety of software and hardware environments, as well as a supporting reference implementation.</p>

<p>The Common Workflow Language project follows the <a href="https://open-stand.org/about-us/principles/">OpenStand principles for collaborative open standards development</a> to openly evolve the
 <a href="https://w3id.org/cwl/">CWL specifications</a>, which have already been <a href="https://www.commonwl.org/#Implementations">implemented</a> by a large number of independent vendors and open source projects.
 CWL has seen a large uptake by researchers, in particular in the bioinformatics community, with more than <a href="https://view.commonwl.org/workflows">700 public CWL workflows</a> developed across academia and industry.
 </p>

 <p>
 The CWL project also maintains the <a href="https://github.com/common-workflow-language/cwltool">cwltool</a> reference implementation, <a href="http://www.commonwl.org/user_guide/">documentation</a>,
<a href="http://www.commonwl.org/#Software_for_working_with_CWL">CWL tooling and libraries</a>, as well as facilitating interactions and collaborations within the wider CWL community and related external activities.
</p>

<p><a href="https://sfconservancy.org/">Conservancy</a>, a public charity focused on ethical technology, is the home of over <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/projects/current/">forty projects</a> dedicated to developing free and open source software.  Conservancy acts as a corporate umbrella, allowing member projects to operate as charitable initiatives without having to independently manage their own corporate structure and administrative services.
</p>

<blockquote>
 "By joining the Conservancy, the CWL project hopes to expand its outreach efforts across additional countries and scientific fields to promote open, reproducible science through the use of standards-based workflows for data analysis,"   <cite>said Peter Amstutz, co-founder of CWL and Senior Software Engineer at Veritas Genetics</cite>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"CWL is solving important problems that will make collaborating on big data analysis easier,"
said <cite>Karen M. Sandler, Conservancy's Executive Director</cite>.
"We're excited to have the Common Workflow Language project join Conservancy."
