Okay, I have some travel time as I head back home from Colorado - ask me anything!

Questions on NASA, open science, astronomy, software, or anything at all

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center will be co-hosting the Enabling Linux in Safety Applications (ELISA) workshop from December 10 – 12 on Forming an Ecosystem around Open Source in Space.

I am really excited for the workshop as an opportunity to build community around safe and secure open source space applications.

#NASA #OpenSource #Linux

Attendance is free, but in-person registration is limited to 30 participants.

I think y’all are wonderful and doing amazing work.

Absolutely amazing work.

On my way to the Reaearch Software Alloance Software Funders workshop.

What are your biggest thoughts about funding open source software for science?

Some amazing visualizations of NASA data at the Beyond the Light exhibit at Artechouse, Houston.

The F.14 High Priority Open Source science solicitation is also always open! We welcome innovative ideas that advance open science and the creation of training materials under the call.

Over the last two years, NASA has awarded over $1.4 million to 15 innovative open science projects!

These project include topics on publishing, data, software, project management, and many other areas in Earth and Space Science.

Over the next fiver years, NASA’s science data will gow to over 300 PB spread over 30 data repositories. How do we provide access to that data in a secure and accessible way to different communities?

The study collected over 700 use cases across the five science divisions

NASA Science has published their Data and Compute Architecture study!

This looked at a coordinated cloud and on-premises computing infrastructure to meet SMD’s data, computing, and open science.

Continuation of CERN’s Open Hardware policy:

Hardware design releases will consider opportunities for collaboration with other research communities and industry. In cases where extensive documentation and ancillary components like software for interfacing and testing are required for projects, these should be licensed under appropriate open source documentation and software licences respectively.

I really like the CERN open hardware policy - something to aspire to!

CERN makes its technologies broadly available to society and has introduced open hardware licensing as a key mechanism to achieve this goal. Open hardware designs are made available through the Open Hardware Repository. The legal basis for the sharing of open hardware is enabled through variants of the CERN Open Hardware License.(continued in next post)

Last month, we hosted the Software for the Science Mission Directorate workshop. It was a great meeting with a huge amount of enthusiasm for all things software for SMD including those working on missions, analysis, models, and so much more!

The videos and slides from the meeting have all now been posted and are available here:

Join us for a virtual town hall on June 20, 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. ET for an overview of the elements and requirements for two ROSES-2024 funding solicitations: F.8 Supplements for Open-Source Science (SOSS) and F.14 High Priority Open-Source Science (HPOSS).

@powersoffour with my open science hat, it is just much easier to be transparent.

And that is such a good point - if you are going to have to share it anyway, might as well get a citation!

I had my first experience with a FOIA request with one of my emails recently getting published.

It was weird seeing my full writing published by someone else, but it is a good reminder that just about everything I do at work is public record.

Great first day at the Software for the Science Mission Directorate workshop. Over 180 people taking about software and software policy! Such a great feeling seeing everyone’s excitement and passion around software.

I was feeling pretty stressed leading into the meeting so I’m pretty happy with the first day.

I can’t wait to share the public links to the talks.

Happy 2024 eclipse day to those in North America!

If you aren’t sure what to do or if you can see it, NASA has you covered:

Congratulations to the to the White House Year of Open Science Recognition winners!

These are some amazing projects that highlight the benefits of making science and technology accessible for everyone.
