Description
The front page of the Library Office for Open Science and Scholarship has a very "executive" summary then a bit more detail...
I think we should aim for something similar. That is: a single executive summary sentence what is open source at UCL then a bit of a longer explanation.
What is there at the moment feels like it could be improved (punchier, clearer ?)
What does UCL do to promote Open Source (Software, Data, Hardware, Educational Resources, Science, …)? In these pages you’ll find our efforts to find that out.
Many of us are from UCL’s Advanced Research Computing Centre (ARC), but we are not alone. Check our about page to find out who we are. From within ARC we are leading the efforts to build an Open Source Programme Office in UCL.

Research direction
Inspect the repository's front page and locate the existing welcome text quoted in the issue. Revise it to begin with a single executive-summary sentence about open source at UCL, followed by a clearer, more detailed explanation. It is done when the front-page wording matches that structure and is more direct.
