	Monday meeting POSTPONED
Message-ID: <7c085c480606021234g7b7af783v2ca388aad2f7b5bc@mail.gmail.com>

hi folks,
Since the summer has started and people's schedule's have changed , I
think we should consider picking a different time for the steering
committee meetings.  Particularly one which would enable the folks
over in England (5hr ahead) to teleconference in.

Additionally, next week is a bit hectic for many of the people in
Boston, so I'm proposing we postpone Monday's meeting and instead get
a new time/date in place to have a meeting the following week.

please fill in your preference here:

Thanks,

Hi folks,

So we're gonna try and hit up iCampus for some more monies.  We'll be
having our midterm review, sometime the 20-22.  I'll get back to you
with time options soon.

I've also attached a rough draft of our spring review document for
iCampus, it's basically the same as this wiki page (+ figures):
http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:ICampus_grant/Midterm_Review

Thanks to the folks who contributed via the wiki or the word doc
already.  Please make edits on the wiki or email me directly if there
is anything you want changed or think needs to be added/removed.

Thanks,
jason

hey eric,

Yeah we're actually in the process of (and way behind on) applying for
an NSF grant.  The details can be found on this page:
http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Steering_committee/NSF_BDI_Grant
>From the grant description it looks like it's right up our alley.

If you're interested in helping out just let me know, we'll probably
be making a mad dash to try to get it in and we'll need all the help
we can get I suspect.

thanks,
jason

Subject: [OWW-SC] linking from OCW to OWW
Message-ID: <43bb21fa0b7ff48cd6606f681d997a66@mit.edu>

Hey all,

One of the courses hosted on OpenWetWare ... MIT's BE.109 (now renamed 
to 20.109) is in the process of being archived onto MIT OpenCourseWare. 
  OCW folks wanted to make sure it was ok for them to link from OCW to 
OWW.

Pros:
Drives traffic to OWW.

Cons:
May need to monitor class sites more closely for edits.

My inclination was to say yes, but I wanted to check with the Steering 
Committee.  Please comment one way or another at 
http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare_talk:Courses/OpenCourseWare

Thanks,

Reshma

Just a reminder for the MIT people that we'll be meeting with iCampus
Weds @ 3pm in Stata room 397 for the mid-term review of the grant.

I don't think we need to have a pre-meeting, just take a peek at the
write-up and be able to talk about what's happened in your area (comm
dev, education, software, etc) in the last 5 months.  You can download
the writeup here:

Conversation: Royal Society to try open access science publishing
Subject: Royal Society to try open access science publishing



http://feeds.feedburner.com/boingboing/iBag?m=2070

Cory Doctorow: The UK Royal Society, the oldest "learned society" in the
world, will try publishing some of its journals under open access licensing.
That means that instead of being offered as expensive subscriptions -- that
can only be paid by a few first-world, monied research institutions -- the
journals will be released for free on the net, and scientist-contributors
will pay submission fees to cover the cost of peer-review. This model has
proven effective with other journals, particularly the all open-access
journal Public Library of Science <http://plos.org/> , which is now the most
widely-cited journal in several of the fields it covers. 

Last November, the Royal Society published a paper decrying
<http://www.boingboing.net/2005/11/25/royal_society_rentse.html> open access
publishing, arguing that no one should do open access because it would
undermine the Society's market for its journals. This prompted an outraged
response from the Society's members, who sent an open
<http://www.boingboing.net/2005/12/13/royal_society_member.html> letter to
the organization affirming that the Society's mission is the furtherance of
science, not the collection of subscription fees. 


The open access movement has been helped by recent developments, including
the decision by the Wellcome Trust, one of the world's biggest research
granting bodies, that all articles produced through work it has funded will
have to be published on an open access basis from October. 

Mark Walport, director of the Wellcome Trust, said he was delighted the
society was making work freely available to all. "Maximum distribution of
research findings is essential to maximise their impact," Mr Walport said. 


Earlier this year a report by the European Commission called for research
paid for by member states to be made freely available.
