[open-science] OSWG + OKFest ?

Mon Mar 10 13:08:49 UTC 2014

Yey - thanks guys! I meant to send this around earlier last week and ask
the Working Group to throw together some ideas, but got distracted. Sorry.

I'm really keen to see a whole bunch ideas coming from the community - but
have been having a few ideas while walking around. Let me know if any of
these interest you:

a)  a bunch of open science hardware demos - especially where we can
incorporate a citizen science angle.
b) Looking at the over lap of some open science issues with other areas of
open academia eg. humanities and open access, research data (including
social sciences) and privacy,
c) ethical considerations around citizen science and data sharing.
d) open science in an international context - looking at 'global south'.

I'm also on the programme committee (yey - go open science), and we'll be
able to sprinkle open science-y ideas across the three strands of the
programme, so don't worry too much about making it fit. I can help with
that :-)

Hope everyone is well!

Michelle
