[open-science] Join us Thursday for our MozFest recap call! - 11 ET

Mon Nov 16 23:11:37 UTC 2015

Hi there!

This month, we’ll be sharing out some of the highlights from this month’s
Mozilla Festival, our annual event celebrating the open web. This year, we
saw close to 2,000 participants over the course of the weekend, spread
across tracks focusing on participatory learning, data, research, and
collaboration.

For this month's call, we’ll kick off with Alissa Nedossekina
<http://twitter.com/snowwitje> from HUBZero <http://hubzero.org> at Purdue
University <http://purdue.edu>, who ran a standing-room-only sprint session
on UX, design and scientific software.

We’ll also hear from Rob Davey <http://twitter.com/froggleston> from The
Genome Analysis Centre <http://tgac.ac.uk>, who, along with Billy Meinke
<http://twitter.com/billymeinke> from the University of Hawaii
<http://hawaii.edu> and our own Abby Cabunoc Mayes
<http://twitter.com/abbycabs>, ran our first Open Research Accelerator
<https://www.mozillascience.org/coming-to-mozfest-2015-open-research-accelerator>,
where they gave hands-on help on how to run an open source science project
<http://slides.com/billymeinke/mozora-workshop#/>.

And lastly, we’ll hear from two of our Mozilla fellows, Joey Lee
<http://twitter.com/leejoeyk> and Richard Smith-Unna
<http://twitter.com/blahah404>, on their experiences at the festival and
their most recent project to visualize participants’ journeys over the
weekend.

Have an update, blog post or event you’d like to share relevant to open
science? Add it to the etherpad
<https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/sciencelab-calls-nov19-2015> (see
‘Non Verbal Updates’, line ~112). It’s a great way to share what you’re
working on and/or interested in with the community. Don’t be shy. Have a
look at last month’s notes
<https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/T007eAyPQG> for an idea of what
others contributed to the conversation.

Join us!
