Mapping the Open Frontier: NumFOCUS, DeSci, and the Quest for Accessible Knowledge
Join Jonathan Starr on a captivating journey through the intricate tapestry of the Open Movement, where the emerging DeSci (Decentralized Science) community is making waves as a critical infrastructure provider and testbed for open science practices. Discover how DeSci is interwoven with a rich history of projects, philosophies, and organizations fighting for a better future for science and humanity.
From the Unisteller Citizen Science Network to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing and beyond, Starr illuminates the deep roots of DeSci across various disciplines. He proposes the creation of a comprehensive, open map—a modern-day Encyclopédie—that charts the vast landscape of open software, data, models, policies, knowledge, papers, resources, and the visionaries behind them.
Explore the transformative potential of this map in guiding the Open Movement and empowering anyone seeking to create, support, or explore foundational knowledge. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation shaping the future of accessible, transparent, and collaborative science.
