It's 1215 and we have a special slot that we intended for exchanges with our audience, that's you.
So we will do a five minute presentation of the team really quick, maybe not even a roundtable.
I don't even know how we're going to do this.
We have five minutes where we want to ask you if you want to join us, just a very important part of this slot is us asking you to come to the open research forum.
And then a moment for question.
Do we, do we share the mic? Do I present you?
Do we, how do we do this? My name is Diego.
I am a research engineering in Switzerland right now in the University of Nishatel.
It's been, I think, more than five years I am in the devroom organizing team.
It started with Paul and Mathew.
So I guess I should pass you the mic.
Thanks man. Hi everyone. I'm a researcher. I'm in Copenhagen right now and I used to be a research engineer and where I've been doing making some software.
I work in social science. I think something that might be relevant to mention is in which context in which kind of fields we work on because we try to cover.
I mean, the extent of science and also in this devroom extending to journalism activism to some extent.
Because we tend to use the same kind of tools if you have tool that works for sociology, it's probably works for journalists as well. So we pull that.
All right. Hi everyone. So I'm Paul. So I've been a research engineer in social sciences for a long time.
But then I switched and I actually have my own company. So I also represent here research engineers that are subcontractors.
Let's say building software as far research teams from outside of academia which also works.
And yeah, that's me.
Jim.
Thanks. Yes. I'm Jim Edge. I'm a research software engineer from the UK.
I've been helping this room for two years and it's my third full stem. So the first year I spoke in stream.
And I think I'm a bit an example of what the takers saying earlier.
I was speaking about a project I'm involved in called the Cheering Way, which is sort of a research project.
But not really. It's like a collaboratively written guide that's a reproducible ethical collaborative data science.
Yeah, that's something I spent quite a bit of time on now.
Yeah, that's it. Isn't it? That was the next.
Hi everyone. I'm Victor.
I was remember just being in the room the first time we did open research in 2020.
I used to be a researcher in physics. Now I do data science in drug discovery.
And I've been part of a committee for the last two years, I think, two or three time flies.
And it's to me it's an anchor into open research in open source technologies, which are not completely core part of my job now.
So it's still happy to contribute that way.
Yeah, go for it, maybe.
Hi, how are you? I'm Violeta. I'm a computer vision research software engineer at the University of Surrey in the UK.
And I do things with 3D reconstruction, novel views, indices, matching learning models, deep learning.
Yeah, I've been involved with reproducibility, open research at Surrey, and just wait for us them for many years.
Who is next? Yes, maybe I'm last.
Emiliano, so a researcher in the computational social stance in Paris, so in the source of Paris.
I took here twice, I give a hand when I can, and I learn every day every year and stuff here.
So it's a place where I increase my investment in an open source software.
Yeah, one bit of the other.
I have to mention that there are more people here.
Yeah, okay, most importantly, so the committee is not perfectly gender balance, but we have also, like, most women in the committee.
In the committee could not be there, and it's a kind of a coincidence, aside from having babies, which is also part of the, of the game.
But it's always difficult, as you know, to have women, and I would say, not so difficult to have them in the, in the committee, but to have them proposed talks.
So in the talks we select, it's not so bad, but in the talks we receive, it's extremely skewed.
And one of the ways to get out of this is not only to have women presenting talks, but also being involved in the committee and so on.
Because part of the job is also to publicize the devroom, so that is the way to do it and so on.
So it's always, well, would you consider joining us? Would you consider joining the devroom?
Because one of the, the work is not so bad because we are so many.
But the thing is, every time we publicize, you try to enrich new people, we have kind of exhausted after seven years.
Our social networks and fresh new blood helps extend the profile and shape the devroom on someone.
It's not that much work. We are enough to review everything and someone multiple times.
So that's, that's our call.
Should I mention each and every single person, maybe, so we have a, just by name, I want to mention,
Any steal, she was stuck in the UK for visa questions, which was a many occasions, occurrences of this year.
Celia question Daniel could not come, she's been with us for a while.
Deborah, I think Deborah Udo is here in the first name, but she didn't.
And Sarah, just had babies, but Sarah will,
Exactly. She will be with us soon, we hope.
And we also have a yo Yehudi who is on and off, depending on how, whether she can come or not.
She's often, she was used to be more online during the Covid times.
We just had one year before the Covid. They said the devroom is seven years old.
And another thing I would like to mention is another bias we have is we tend to be more on the social science side.
But so we take, we would like to have more people involved in the community in the natural science side.
It would help attract different kinds of talks, just a relevant.
The devroom was initially created by two different teams that were good match together.
But ultimately we landed on the social science side.
But Achilles is here somewhere in the first name.
Yep.
The original founder of this devroom of Neurosciences.
We broke the project about time.
Look.
We're ending this.
Go ahead.
So where is the scope of the open research devroom?
We do have a website.
Yes.
That's the scope.
Is the scope explained in this version of the website?
Yes.
No.
This is good.
Yeah.
But you can read that but in short.
So two science, which in this, the context of the first name means open source.
First of all, open source.
If you're not open source, you can't present to the first name.
The devroom.
Tools for science.
And this made me mean different things.
So you will see in this devroom, the bunch of tools.
All discussions about technology, open source technologies.
And the questions linked to technology.
So could be discussions about openness and so on.
And as I said before, so science is whatever is scientific, so from any field.
But also extended to other kinds of non-scientific fields who would work with knowledge.
And in particular, journalism.
Open source intelligence would qualify some form of activism.
Open hardware also qualifies.
But in a scientific or no-latch production context.
No-latch production is what I was about to say.
Open source intelligence.
And sometimes it's a bit of a discussion within ourselves when we review abstracts.
All right.
So yeah, open researchers.
Sometimes it's really easy to see the link when we have abstracts.
It's obvious or it's obvious to part of a committee.
But we want to cover a really wide range of topics.
Meaning that sometimes the link might not be obvious to at least part of the people.
Or that to say that if you're passionate about a topic you think is open research.
Join us, come talk to us, advocate.
We want to have large topics, but we have limits in our knowledge.
And that's also one way to contribute.
I want to add the description.
We've just presented as a proposal that we make to the presenters.
But the first way the devroom is shaped is by the proposals we receive.
So for example, some years.
We had a lot of things about the reproducibility crisis.
And then we'd be a lot about that.
And then it kind of stopped and then comes back a little bit.
It could be a one year.
It's a lot of fair principles to things.
This did not come from us.
It came from you guys.
So proposals shaped it.
And then the committee.
So whoever is in the committee also shapes it.
So which means that if you're in and you want to change that every year.
We wonder if we will change it and adapt it.
Every year we move a few things.
So everything is up for discussion and reconfiguration.
But you just have to step in.
Nothing is locked in.
We have former members of the room that come to visit.
That's really cool.
They try to hide in the very big.
Exactly.
Very discreet.
You don't have to die in the devroom.
You can leave it.
Yes.
No, that's also really important.
You can come in and come out whenever you want participating.
It's not a lucky process.
We are really flexible in our way of organizing.
And it has been said.
I think it's not a lot of work.
We are a cool team now.
Almost ten members more or less depending on the year.
It's been five years.
So the process is.
Let's say streamlined.
And it works.
Just works.
There is space for welcoming new members.
And that's what the slot is about.
So yeah, exactly.
Do reach out.
Well, time is it.
Almost.
Are there questions?
No?
Questions.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Down it.
The user.
You're a little more independent.
Microsoft is already.
You probably have to try and succeed.
I agree with GV.
If you've done that as network sales.
So I think some of us discovered this through the graph.
The room that we should no longer exist.
So a little bit of that.
We can't cover.
Yes.
We also have people in research court.
So I work with.
Absolutely.
The question is, do we have members of the research support.
Yeah, we do welcome.
Well, we discussed about, I don't know, funding to research support
in terms of communication.
Can be also science.
I think none of us have worked specifically in that field.
As I understand it, we had books from the field before a few.
So that would be a welcome addition.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Thanks for the question.
You welcome.
Hey.
We should wrap up.
Yes.
I mean, it's time for the next talk.
Thank you guys.
Who's next?
Thanks.
What's next anyway.
