The first week in February was a big one for the Mozilla Science Lab.<\/a> We hosted a week-long workweek for our Fellows for Science in Berlin<\/a>, which culminated in a 2-day mini-conference that we called WOW, the W<\/b>orking O<\/b>pen W<\/b>orkshop<\/a>. The event featured a mixture of talks and work sessions on open sourcing projects, building capacity in Mozilla Study Groups<\/a>, and contributing to projects on Collaborate<\/a>, all in preparation for our Global Sprint in June, 2016.<\/p>\n

\n

For the first half of the week, we brought together our 4 fellows and 5 staffers to test curriculum and programming for the workshop to follow, workshop the fellows’ projects and beta-test their prototypes. We punctuated this with a healthy balance of outreach co-organized programming with other meetups, like Hacks\/Hackers-Berlin<\/a> and the Berlin Open Science<\/a>, as well as excursions to Transmediale<\/a> (a concurrent Art\/Tech Festival) and visits with Berlin’s FabLab. In the name of “open,” you can view our agenda here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the latter part of the week, we hosted about 40+ attendees, two Mozilla staffers-at-large, our Fellows and\u00a0 the Science Lab Team for WOW<\/a>, a flush 2-day event celebrating open science and global web collaboration. We kicked it off <\/a>with a Berlin Open Science collab meetup<\/a> featuring 10+ lightning talks from the global science community and an audience of almost 100 attendees. Our workshop featured sessions on working collaboratively in Github<\/a>, packaging open data for re-use<\/a> and developing documentation, as well as planning for inclusive communities, Code of Conduct creation<\/a>, and open science netiquette. All sessions were transcribed and published online, along with the accompanying documentation for presentation materials and handout activities, ready for re-use by anyone interested in hosting their own “Working Open” session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
