Dear All

Apologies for the delay in following up on this email and thank you all 
for your enthusiastic responses and answering the doodle poll. The best 
date/time was 20 January 18:00 UTC - this is on Monday so I'm really 
sorry if it's a little short notice.

We are likely going to need another call for Asian/Australasian 
participants so I let me know if this would help you in your time zone!

Thanks for those who have volunteered to take on specific roles within 
the larger working group in addition to your already fantastic work on 
local groups and projects. There is a spreadsheet of volunteers and what 
they are interested in doing here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtV3tIqIu0UZdHg0NDFkRy1POWhwQ2tsOEdTa2kyNlE&usp=drive_web#gid=0
Feel free to add yourself and on the call we will discuss the structure 
of the working group coordination team and start allocating some roles.

Agenda and details for meeting: 
http://okfnpad.org/p/science-coord-20jan20140
Feel free to add thoughts and notes to this pad and/or send them through 
to me if you're unable to attend, there will of course also be the 
opportunity to comment afterwards.

Thanks again and I'm really looking forward to working with you! Do get 
in touch if you have any questions or want to chat outside of the 
meeting and we can arrange that.

    Dear local open science group leaders (and other OKF-affiliated folk
    for whom we have enormous respect for in your role as open science
    and data champions!)

    We'd like to thank you for all your hard work in 2013 in organising
    the open science community and also have questions about the future
    of the open science working group. How do you think we might go
    about building a sustainable structure for looking after the working
    group and coordinating activities? I've had less time this year than
    the working group needed and deserved, particularly as
    internationally we're seeing more and more interest in open science
    and the time is right to really expand our activities. I am heading
    into the last few months of my doctorate so it looks unlikely this
    time allocation will increase, but equally we've now reached the
    size where a multi-person team is simply necessary to ensure that
    opportunities are seized and projects are followed up.

    Therefore, as per my email to the list earlier, we would like to put
    together a group of community organisers to contribute to a variety
    of roles. The time commitment will be flexible and relatively low,
    but it will make a big difference to have someone keeping an eye on
    specific areas. The roles and tasks might include:

      * Organising working group meetings
      * Advisory Board liaison
      * Planning open science events at OKFest 2014
      * Documenting events and updates from the working group
      * Blog Editing
      * Tech/Dev Liaison
      * Leading projects or documents
      * Event Organisation
      * Designing publicity materials and logos etc.

    We'd like to hear your thoughts about this and whether you would be
    willing to get more involved on an international level, although we
    recognise that you're all putting in a lot of work with the local
    groups and all manner of other projects. If you could advertise this
    opportunity around your working groups as well that would be great!

    In the near term, I would like to organise a Skype between as many
    of us as possible in January and then reinstate a monthly working
    group meeting (which I've been a bit lax with this year!). My idea
    was that this might be hosted by a different local group each time
    which will be great to keep up to date with your activities and get
    some feedback on where we can collaborate on projects more, as well
    as ensuring the time zone moves around. Thoughts on this would be
    most appreciated.

    Doodle poll for Skype: http://doodle.com/78wgbbaeumbed3ws
    Time zones are going to be a problem for some so let me know what
    works for you and we can try and arrange another call.

    Thanks again for everything you're doing and please reply with any
    comments or questions - let's see if we can really grow the working
    group in 2014 and get more people experimenting with and supporting
    open science!

    Jenny
