-Please recommend women leaders in the Open Access/Science area. Too many conferences/boards feel like openness in science is only for men.

The thread goes on for ages, until April Hathcock (Scholarly Communications Librarian, New York University) wrote a blog post in which she discusses how lists and visibility are always great, but we need to start putting them into action -- in this case, inviting more women speakers. She also released an accompanying open google doc which had a list of women who work in the open which anyone can add names to.

I built the website based on a lot of free and open source software and code. I built the website using Bootstrap3, the open source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS. I modified the Flatly theme from Bootswatch for the website aesthetics, only changing it to make it purple rather than green (I just like the purple better, ok?). This site would have required SO MUCH MORE coding on my part if it wasn't for the code called 'CSV to HTML table' by Derek Eder, available here: https://github.com/derekeder/csv-to-html-table. This let me easily plug in a csv file to a website and get a nice searchable, sortable list. The map was built using leaflet open source JavaScript library used to build interactive maps on the web. I cleaned up the data using OpenRefine and their excellent Geocoding wiki.

All this to say -- YES open code, YES open data, and YES to all the wonderful women working towards openness!

This year, SciPy 2017 was in Austin, Texas from July 10-16, 2017. It was the 16th annual Scientific Computing with Python Conference, and focused on great new tools and methods for research with Python.

I am really pleased to finally announce that the LIS Scholarship Archive is officially, 100% launched! LISSA is an open source, open access disciplinary repository for library and information science which I co-founded this year. A really great opportunity for LIS to holitistically publish their work openly!

-The LIS Scholarship Archive first opened for sumbmission in August 2017, for a "soft launch" period to see where functionality and usability can be improved for a full-launch. We picked this week in October to coincide with Open Access Week, an international, annual scholarly communication event focusing on open access, sponsered by SPARC. LISSA accepts the full range of content from the library and information science (LIS) community and allied fields, including but not limited to: data, code, oral histories, zines, articles, books/book chapters, and student work. LISSA is governed by a board of LIS professionals from a range of backgrounds, and managed technologically by the Center for Open Science.

-On LISSA, LIS workers, students, trainees, and other in the field can make their incredible work open and discoverable, from metadata records to oral histories to manuscripts to data. Currently on LISSA, there are preprints, postprints, grant narratives, posters, book manuscripts, data, and code, in a variety of languages, from a diverse authorship! Let’s keep this going!
