NeuroFedora: FOSS and open (neuro)science - Ankur Sinha, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek - Flock 2019
Channel: Fedora Project

Evidence based policy making is extremely important. Not only does this require scientists to work harder on informing the powers that be, it is perhaps more important that scientific process be made accessible to everyone without limitations.

The scientific community has recently begun pushing towards Open Science, and the philosophy of Open Science, not surprisingly, is very similar to that of FOSS. Researchers are now using FOSS for all their programming needs, the data they gather is being made openly available for all to see, and the results they come up with are being disseminated openly via the Open Access movement.

Some of us recently came together to form the NeuroFedora initiative — Free software for Free neuroscience.
