Open Science doesn't need to be all technology based because Open 
Science should focus on the openness of science and creating a culture 
for researchers/scientists and everyone else.  Sure, Open Source 
technology helps but it's the goals of improving the scientific process 
and collaboration makes Open Science what it is.

Looks like a Patreon for researchers and scientists, but with more of a 
focus on openness which is great.  And it also acts like the Open 
Science Framework but in terms of getting projects funded with the 
intent of publishing the information related to that project.  I'm going 
to pass this on to the Open Science Framework group[1] to see their 
thoughts on this site, but I'm not hinting to compete with ThinkLab but 
to see if it's possible to work together on certain aspects.
