Hi @bonetcarne! So glad to see you in this program 😃. I think there is going to be a fair amount of overlap with the community building we'll both be doing, so let's stay close and maybe develop some ideas together? Check me out on #15 👀😝

So glad to see you here as well! Definitely we should stay close and work together. :)

I am working with @Zebetus to create and hopefully establish an Open Science Community in Barcelona to promote knowledge exchange and will discuss on how we could improve our research in terms of open science. Long term aim is to use this community to create workshops and symposia about open science and to agree on some common needs.

Hi @bonetcarne! I am very excited about your project. I am doing something similar. There is an Open Science Community in Amsterdam, and I want to strengthen it with a network of Open Science and data ambassadors (data champions). Let's work together and help each other :-)

Great! are you part of the Netherlands OS communitry, like https://openscience-utrecht.com ? Even if I am not based on the Netherlands, I was panning to contact them, they seem quite organised and provide good tips on how to start one community (https://openscience-utrecht.com/community-blueprint/) :)

Hi @bonetcarne !

I think we are trying to accomplish the same thing (but on the other side of the Atlantic)! One great resource that has guided me is from the Melbourne Open Research Network. This thread and their OSF repo in particular.

OSCU leaders are responsive and really helpful. I contacted them last year and they got back soon after.

Will your community be geared toward particular fields or you want it to be as broad as possible? Both are okay, just different challenges. I'm guessing you are a neuroscientist if you know about the Open Science Beverage (or beer if you prefer) that happens every Wednesdays in Montreal.

bonetcarne commented 4 years ago

Hi @SamGuay ! Great, indeed looks we are trying similar things, great! The idea is to be as broad as possible but I guess this is going to be a life thing, so it will evolve and maybe end up focusing on one specific. But the idea is to include researchers from different universities and disciplines. I did neuroscience but mostly know about them through diffusion MRI and some side sessions at ISMRM (secret sessions), where there was a lot of discussions about open and inclusive science. :)

What about your project? For what I read is also broad, isn't it?

SamGuay commented 4 years ago

Yes, we aim to reach many fields because the neuroimaging community may be at the forefront on some levels in OS, but we can definitely learn from other fields and vice versa. This will be challenging, but that's why we're gonna have to organize different types of activities to target several audiences. We are thinking about setting up a ReproducibiliTea Journal club.

I'm doing dMRI as well, with the SCIL/Tractoflow people at USherbrooke (Maxime Descoteaux).

Will I see you this summer at OHBM?

Hi @bonetcarne and @Karvovskaya, I was just exploring the data champions initiative of TUDelft https://www.tudelft.nl/en/library/current-topics/research-data-management/r/support/data-champions/. Since I am at such early stages compared to these awesome examples, I also am interested in knowing how they got it started at all. How didi they bubble up interest and engagement?

Karvovskaya commented 4 years ago

Hi @ChiaraBertipaglia, I can put you in touch with TU Delft people if you are interested. Here is a nice interview where two of the earliest data champions share their perspective: https://openworking.wordpress.com/2019/08/01/carve-your-niche-with-the-carpentries/ By the way, have you already looked at this book https://www.openbookpublishers.com/product/1080? It has a chapter on data champions.

Karvovskaya commented 4 years ago

are you part of the Netherlands OS community, like https://openscience-utrecht.com ?

@bonetcarne, yes, I am a member of OSC Utrecht and I am planning to get more involved in the OSC Amsterdam. From what I know, the organisation of open science communities and their positioning within universities differ quite a lot.

I was panning to contact them, they seem quite organised and provide good tips on how to start one community (https://openscience-utrecht.com/community-blueprint/) :)

I definitely recommend to contact them. For Utrecht, my suggestion for contact would be Loek Brinkman: https://loekbrinkman.com/ For Rotterdam, Antonio Schettino

ChiaraBertipaglia commented 4 years ago

Thank you @Karvovskaya that book is very useful! Yes, I'd love to be put in contact with someone from TuDelft. Thanks!

Love this thread and so many collaborations + idea exchange! Great going @bonetcarne @cassgvp @ChiaraBertipaglia @Karvovskaya @SamGuay. There are a few more projects in the cohort for e.g. Open Connect Kenya by @Lilian9, and the projects by @MorphoFun and @Fnyasimi that share some similar vision.

cassgvp commented 4 years ago

A project I've been considering is profiling or collecting case studies about these open communities. Focusing on things like how/why they originated, how they are funded or sustained, what types of things they organise, who their stakeholders are and how they gained traction. All the same questions I think we've all had! How would people feel about generating a list of questions together and then doing structured interviews with existing initiatives? Could publish them in a nice blog somewhere? We could even profile ourselves at various stages?! 😁

Hi Project Leads,



This is your project report file: https://hackmd.io/W6xj5P_3SMSGNi_M0D8fHA Please start working on it for the final presentation. We will send more info in the weekly email.



Best, 
OLS team
