The Open Source Data Science Masters

That's a nice overview of autodidact resources for DS.

But I suggest that you tweak the name a little, like "The Open DS Masters Program" or "Toward OSDS Mastery".

"OSDS Masters" sounds like a plural noun, like you're trying to say, "at this website you can find the great open source masters of data science" -- like Richard Stallmann or the authors of Weka. It's a bit confusing.

I presumed the 'Masters' was akin to the usage in "master's degree'

If so then they should add the word 'Degree' everywhere.

Or, just eliminate the subtitle and merge the one important word in the subtitle that isn't in the subtitle, and call it "The Open Source Data Science Master's Curriculum", which has the advantage that while it invokes the idea of a curriculum of the level of a Master's Degree, doesn't falsely present itself as an offering an actual degree, which it is not.

I don't think that's the intent, but I can see how it would give such an impression. That alone should be reason to change the title, though.
