From today's internal instructor training workshop at UC Davis DataLab: Ostrom's hierarchy of commonses applied to The Carpentries, Python, and R.

A diagram showing the Carpentries as a community of practice (CoP) in teaching computation, on top of Software Carpentry/Data Carpentry as CoP in _doing_ computation with Python and R - and also borrowing from the Python and R CoP.
