Hoj, v Franciji se stvari premikajo glede FOSS in dostopnostjo znanosti – zanimivi časi :)
Mogoče bi lahko ponucal kdaj kot inspiracijo za našo nacionalno strategijo kdaj. lp, Matija ---------- Nuntius praecox ---------- In rem: Breaking news: Software and Software Heritage in the new National Plan for Open Science in France Die: 8. 07. 21 et hora 10:03 Scripsit: Roberto Di Cosmo <[email protected]> Dear all, I am delighted to share great breaking news: yesterday afternoon the French Ministry of Research unveiled the second multi-annual National Plan for Open Science in France, that squarely puts software on a par with publications and data in the Open Science framework, announcing a number of measures designed to open research software and better recognize software development in research. The official document is available online from the website of the French Ministry of Research <https://cache.media.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/file/science_ouverte/20/9/ MEN_brochure_PNSO_web_1415209.pdf> . Since this is currently only available in French (an English version will be available in the next days/weeks from the Ministry of Resarch dedicated page <https://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/cid159131/le-plan-national-pour-la-science-ouverte-2021-2024-vers-une-generalisation-de-la-science-ouverte-en-france.html>), here are some highlights of the measures that you might find the most interesting: - a clear recommendation to make research software available under an open source licence, unless there are clear strong reasons not to do so; quoting from the text itself (quick and dirty translation): - "*Making software source code available, with the possibility of modifying it, reusing it and disseminating it, is essential to allow the reproducibility of scientific results and support the sharing and creation of knowledge, in a logic of Open Science*." ... - "*Hence, the distribution of software as free software, that is to say published under one of the licenses recognized by the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative, will be privileged, in compliance with legal* *constraints*." - the creation of a high level expert group dedicated to research software in the National Committee for Open Science - the objective to provide better recognition of software development in career evaluation for researchers and engineers - a renewed and strengthened official support of Software Heritage, with a recommendation to archive in it *all research software [1] * This is the result of a long, steady effort to raise awareness of these issues, in collaboration with many dedicated people and organisations, like it was the case for the Paris Call on Software Source code <https://en.unesco.org/foss/paris-call-software-source-code> (published in February 2019, with contributions from some of the members of this list). And to the best of my knowledge, it is the first time that such an organic, clearly designed strategy for (open source) software in research is laid out in an official government document: I hope this may serve as a reference for similar initiatives in other countries, and will be more than happy to help if/when such initiatives get started. All the best -- Roberto [1] updated, actionable instructions are now available at https://www.softwareheritage.org/howto-archive-and-reference-your-code/ (for french researchers, an updated and streamlined metadata deposit workflow with HAL is coming soon) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Computer Science Professor (on leave at Inria from IRIF/Université de Paris) Director Software Heritage E-mail : [email protected] INRIA Web : http://www.dicosmo.org Bureau C328 Twitter : http://twitter.com/rdicosmo 2, Rue Simone Iff Tel : +33 1 80 49 44 42 CS 42112 75589 Paris Cedex 12 ------------------------------------------------------------------
