Agenda Items Ideas

• Settle the slot for organisational meetings: approx every first Thursday evening of each month? cf the doodle 5-7pm?
  • Agreed!
• Website for OSWG: a basic version is online, please check it out so we can decide together
  • (1) what urgently needs fixing, and
  • (2) how to further improve it into a more definite version
  • Look at model website: LMU Open-Access-Website - we will lean on that
  • Model website TU Delft
  • Have more actual people.
  • We want to present Open Science projects at FU: let's collect our projects in this wiki, and Claudia's team puts it into the CMS website. Claudia sets up a template.
  • We will set up an automatic copy from the Open Access calendar
  • Additional content can be sent directly to Claudia's student assistant Phil (Claudia has to check in with them first)
  • We are not creating a logo right
• Next event(s):
  • What are the goals of the group:
    • talk about OS,
    • raising awareness for OS,
    • bringing together people who do OS at FU & community building,
    • promoting existing projects
    • providing a think tank for open science infrastructures (that are not yet in place, but are being planned, and will become bigger with the Berlin University Alliance)
  • Mathilde and her team are planning an event to launch a collaborative interdisciplinary "researcher-entrepreneur" project in September. She proposes to co-host  it with the OSWG

• Next Steps for the Working Group
• Results of Exzellenzstrategie (announced July 19)
• Grant Writing: Current Activities
  • What Brian Nosek's Excelsheet was really about - NSF Proposal: Network of Open Science Grassroots Networks
• Decide if we hate Open Science (maybe save the discussion for another time)
  • Find solutions to not appear like uncompromising Open Science fanatics and scare people off with an overused term. (eg with a  pros/cons page on the website)
• network-of-open-science-grassroots-networks@cos.io

Minutes: Christina

• Mathilde is putting together a work group for researchers with open science related (business) projects who want to build out of their researcher's experience,  something useful that agrees with open science and that is not a publication 
  
• There is an Open Access position available at Freie Universität: https://www.fu-berlin.de/universitaet/beruf-karriere/jobs/nichtwiss/58_universitaetsbibliothek/UB-UB_2019_1.html
  
• The University Library at Freie Universität is planning to become more active in Open Science
  
• The Open Science Meetup Community Berlin (https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/Berlin-Open-Science-Meetup/) is looking into new ways of organizing the community, possibly in the form of a Verein.
