[open-science] Name Change for Working Group

[Jenny Molloy]

Which is why we have @ccess http://access.okfn.org/ to focus on OA :)

Definitely open data will still be key, but open science means we include
those people interested in citizen cyberscience, open collaboration
projects, open notebooks, open scientific code and the many other open
science topics members are working on.

Besides, we're not just an advocacy group because we also make cool stuff...
That is a nudge for everyone to join in the hackday
