Save the Date: Mozilla Science Community Call June 11

Mozilla

Our next community call will take place this Thursday, June 11. The call is open to the public and will start at 11:00 am ET. Call in details can be found on the call etherpad (where you can also find notes and the agenda) and on the wiki. (If you have trouble with the toll-free number, try one of the numbers at the bottom of this post.)

The Science Lab meeting is our community call, taking place each month, highlighting recent developments and work of the community relevant to science and the web. Join us to hear more about current projects, find out how you can get involved, and hear from others about their work in and around open research.

This month, we’re discussing packaging research for reproducibility with technologists, publishers and researchers innovating on how to get the most reuse out of code, data and publications. We’ll be joined by Angelina Fabbro, Evangelism Lead from Digital Ocean, to discuss the opportunities and use cases for cloud computing in the sciences; Lenny Teytelman, cofounder of Protocols.io, a crowdsourced protocol repository for the life sciences; Shaun Jackman, bioinformatics researcher with the Genome Sciences Center at the BC Cancer Agency, who will be illustrating the power of build tools like make for managing software; and Scott Edmunds  & Peter Li of GigaScience, examining how publishers can reinforce reproducibility in the literature.

Have an update, blog post or event you’d like to share relevant to open science? Add it to the etherpad (see ‘Non Verbal Updates’, line ~80). 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 for an idea of what others contributed to the conversation.

Mark your calendars, tune in and help us spread the word – everyone is welcome. For call-in details and links to the etherpad, visit our wiki page. We hope you’ll join us.
