Hi all, One Canadian long weekend and I can't count days anymore - the Contributorship Badges Prototype Project Call is most definitely on *Wednesday, May 20*, not Thursday. Details from the last mail reproduced below; sorry for the confusion, see you all there!
Event details: *Tomorrow* (Wednesday May 20) at *11am ET / 8am PT* we'll be holding a project call for anyone interested in the Contributorship Badges for Science prototype. *WHAT*: Call for anyone interested in helping build Contributorship Badges for Science *WHEN*: *tomorrow*, May 20, 11am ET *BLOG*: https://www.m ozillascience.org/get-involved-contributorship-badges-call-may-20/ *PAD*: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/sciencelab-project-call-may20 *HANGOUT LINK*: https://plus.google.com/events/cpsbmji9rp4seqv8fjrhvcivv9g *Note: this call will be recorded* What are Contributorship Badges? The Contributorship Badges project was announced late last year <http://www.mozillascience.org/contributorship-badges-a-new-project/> as a collaboration testing out the use of badges as a standardized digital credential for the work done by each author on an academic article. Since then, we’ve starting building a prototype that uses Mozilla’s Open Badges <http://openbadges.org/> infrastructure to store and issue badges to an author’s ORCID <http://orcid.org/> (a unique researcher identifier) based on their contribution to a paper published by BioMed Central <http://www.biomedcentral.com/> (BMC) or Public Library of Science <https://www.plos.org/> (PLoS). The badges awarded are based on the 14-role author contribution ‘taxonomy’ <http://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles> being developed by the Wellcome Trust <http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/index.htm>, Digital Science <http://www.digital-science.com/> and others. The Mozilla Science Lab is leading development on this prototype We're encouraging researchers to contribute code, design and suggestions to experience being part of an open source project. Join us tomorrow @ 11am ET (May 20) *To join the call*: 1. Open the call Etherpad <https://etherpad.mozilla.org/sciencelab-project-call-may20> 2. Join the Hangout on Air <https://plus.google.com/events/cpsbmji9rp4seqv8fjrhvcivv9g> This call is for designers, developers, researchers, publishers and anyone interested in participating or learning more about the project. We could use all sorts of input on this (beyond just code), so if you’re new to open source, come join us – we’d love to have you involved. *Please note: this event will be recorded* ------------------------------------ We want to help researchers learn how to leverage the web by building within the open source community. By encouraging participation in an ongoing project, more researchers will experience best practices in open source and learn how to run their own projects in a way that engages the community and builds skills. This builds on a core belief part of our pedagogy here at Mozilla <https://commonspace.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/building-an-academy/>, that the most transformative moments often come from *working on things that matter*, *building them together*, and *empowering others* to get involved.. -- Best Regards, Bill Mills Community Manager Mozilla Science Lab
