Open Science Hack Night

No technical or science background is required! Bring your science-related civic hacks, join a team, or start something new. Learn about Open Science and what's happening in Seattle.

Célya Gruson-Daniel, co-founder of HackYourPhD will open with a short talk, introducing Open Science and HackYourPhD. Célya is based in Paris and has been touring the US, producing a web documentary of Open Science in America http://hackyourphd.org/USA

If you want to give a short talk introducing your project, or to announce what you will work on in advance, please add to the public notes at http://okfnpad.org/2013august7seattle

Example projects we may work on during Open Science Hack Night:

• Adding more science to SeattleWiki
• Translating Open Access research papers into http://sciencegist.com summaries or hacking ScienceGist code
• Wikipedia editathon to improve articles about women scientists
• Reviewing Open Knowledge Foundation's http://datajournalismhandbook.org
• hacking a WordPress theme made for Open Science, https://github.com/openscienceASAP/openscience-wordpress-theme to be used in networks such as http://onsnetwork.org
• anything you bring or start -- see and add to http://okfnpad.org/2013august7seattle
