Dear all, Mario has introduced our project last week (see below). During the Mozilla Science Lab Global Sprint we were working intensively on it. We were able to gain several contributors and have several people who are interested in a long term involvement. The project is heavily inspired by Software Carpentry (some of us are SWC instructors) and the plan is to develop the material via git/GitHub and allocate maintainers to each topic, but we are open to any contributions from the community. We want to start with a small set of flagship topics that are used as showcases and then expand the collection to more facets of Open Science.
The current working title is "Open Science 101" but as we feel very close to the Software/Data Carpentry community, and even share members and aims, we are currently considering changing the name of the project to "Open Science Carpentry". A counter argument would be that our materials aim to teach abstract concepts and not concrete skills as SWC. We would like to hear your opinion regarding this and would be happy about your feedback. Thanks a lot! The Open Science 101 contributors On Thu Jun 2 09:53:26 CDT 2016, Mario Antonioletti wrote: Hi,
As part of the Mozilla Lab Global Science Sprint (#mozsprint 2016) we have been looking at a project that aims to produce re-usable educational materials for Open Science, a 101 course. All materials will be made available under CC0, i.e. put in the public domain. This project and material are in the early stages of development. The material is available in GitHub and welcomes any sort of contributions:
https://github.com/OKScienceDE/Open_Science_101
We have narrowed down a list of topics that we think should be considered and these are available at:
https://github.com/OKScienceDE/Open_Science_101/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22topic+suggestion%22
For these topics we've created an etherpad with ideas and suggestions:
https://pad.okfn.org/p/OpenScience101topicsuggestions
We would welcome any feedback with regards to the suitability of the topics and/or if there are any missing topics. Also, we invite you to vote on each of these topics, if you think a topic is especially relevant, in their corresponding GitHub issues (linked in the etherpad) with a GitHub reaction function to a comment. Tomorrow morning we will count the votes and focus on the most popular topics to create our first draft material.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Open Science 101 contributors
