[open-science] OKCon 2013 Open Science Proposals

Mon May 27 11:45:15 UTC 2013

+1 from Citizen Cyberscience Centre for this!

We would be glad to help out and coordinate with other events.

In particular, this can connect with a second installment of the CERN webfest, which we organized last year with CERN summer students (see write-up here ) and which we intend to run again in August http://cds.cern.ch/record/1473657

Also with a recent workshop/hackfest we ran at UNIGE, which Rayna wrote up here: http://blogs.plos.org/citizensci/2013/05/23/university-of-geneva-hosts-citizen-cyberscience/ and which created quite some follow-up interest at UNIGE for specific projects biomedical and renewable energy research.

There's also some summer students at CERN who will be working on projects about open data and citizen science, and whose work could be great to develop further at the hackfest. And also relevant work ongoing with our UN partners in Geneva, UNOSAT, on disaster response using Crowdcrafting.org.

BTW, John Ellis, the top theoretical physicist at CERN, just accepted to give a keynote talk in the Open Science session. That's something else OKF can link to, to create a buzz.

Happy to help in any focussed planning team that you guys may decide to set up.

Hi Rayna and Stefan,

Great to see this initiative. My name is Joris Pekel and I coordinate the different Working Groups at the Open Knowledge Foundation. I think I might be able to help you out with some of the logistics. Is it just about getting a room? Or a bit more?

Let me know (perhaps better in a private message).

Cheers,

Joris

Totally :) Let's do that!

Any idea whether OKFN would be able to help us with the logistics?

hello,

I would like to organize with others together an own satelite
event around the OKCon, an Open Science Hackathon. Best date for me
would be the 19th Sept.

Am sharing my thoughts and ideas around this and hope to get some
feedback.

The idea is to bring the international open science and citizen
science cummunity together - from different projects, disciplines and
interests - to work in a co:lab athmosphere/place together.
would be nice to have some pre-existing projects on board, here some
ideas:
- - open science manifesto
- - open science wordpress theme
- - citizen science, especially with the CERN/University of Geneva group
- - OpenMeteoData
- - Open Science Calendar
- - Open Clinical trials
- - Crowdcrafting
- - versioning of sourcecode and data (Git+GitHub, FigShare)
- - Open Science Workshop

it should not be only about coding, also talking about practices and
work on papers/positions or other stuff. at the end, it's all about what
the people want to do.

@ Rayna: are you interested in this? would be very nice to have you on
board.

So, what do you think? Am excited about your thoughts and ideas.

cheers, stefan
