[open-science] OFA Article on "Bottom-up creation of Open Scientific Knowledge"

Wed Jan 9 16:59:50 UTC 2013

Dear Peter et al.,

I'd like to contribute as well, the project sounds fabulous.

Brief intro as I'm quite new to this list: I'm currently finishing my PhD
in bioinformatics and have been active in free/open source software
communities for quite some time now. Among others, I'm also a science
blogger for the Nature-SciLogs.com 'Beyond the Lab' which explores new ways
of doing science (citizen science, DIYbio, etc.). My personal focus is on
'garage biology' and economic models in self-sustained communities such as
DIYbio informal groups. I recently joined the (thus far) infant OKFN France
where enthusiasm is also present to develop open science in the country.

Have a nice evening/day :)
