The Call for Proposals for @conservancy's #FOSSY Conference, held at Portland State University from Jul 31 to Aug 3, 2025, is open thru May 5.

The conference has a "FOSS for Education" track covering #OpenSource software and broader open initiatives, such as #OER, #OpenScience, etc.

See 2025.fossy.us/

Even if you can't make it, please share. The organizers are working hard to grow the event and provide a forum for open developers to meet peers and collaborate.

🔍 How do we teach #students to search beyond #Google?

Our new #OpenAccess article in the spotlight shows how teaching students to move beyond Google-style searching can lead to unexpected discoveries and more in-depth engagement with archival content and tools.

"Against common expectations, scientific projects have a longer lifetime than matched non-scientific open-source software projects. We expect our curated attribute-rich collection to support future research on scientific software and provide insights that may help extend longevity of both scientific and other projects." doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2504.18

arXiv.orgScientific Open-Source Software Is Less Likely to Become Abandoned Than One Might Think! Lessons from Curating a Catalog of Maintained Scientific SoftwareScientific software is essential to scientific innovation and in many ways it is distinct from other types of software. Abandoned (or unmaintained), buggy, and hard to use software, a perception often associated with scientific software can hinder scientific progress, yet, in contrast to other types of software, its longevity is poorly understood. Existing data curation efforts are fragmented by science domain and/or are small in scale and lack key attributes. We use large language models to classify public software repositories in World of Code into distinct scientific domains and layers of the software stack, curating a large and diverse collection of over 18,000 scientific software projects. Using this data, we estimate survival models to understand how the domain, infrastructural layer, and other attributes of scientific software affect its longevity. We further obtain a matched sample of non-scientific software repositories and investigate the differences. We find that infrastructural layers, downstream dependencies, mentions of publications, and participants from government are associated with a longer lifespan, while newer projects with participants from academia had shorter lifespan. Against common expectations, scientific projects have a longer lifetime than matched non-scientific open-source software projects. We expect our curated attribute-rich collection to support future research on scientific software and provide insights that may help extend longevity of both scientific and other projects.

we love #openscience PhD theses that are (at least a bit) about #Maastricht :) doi.org/10.5463/thesis.1062

"It is striking to notice that material found in a civilian context was obtained from all possible places. The norm seems to be local procurement, but there is also evidence for material procured beyond the provincial boundaries, such as used in Forum Hadriani, currently Voorburg, or wood used for a bridge in Maastricht."

thanks to the @fosstodon admins for giving statements. Not all our #fosstodon answers have been answered.

We live in difficult times where tensions run high and where independent justice on social media is absent. @fosstodon welcomed our project, with hesitance, not knowing who is behind this account or who is behind the Blue Obelisk movement. This brings risks, courage, and misuse.

We like to thank @fosstodon for allowing us to share our #openscience #cheminformatics news here for 2.5 years

It takes a lot of collective effort to improve psychology, and it's so important to recognize that work.

I appreciate that the SIPS Awards 🏆 celebrate projects rather than individuals, highlighting the value of collaboration.

Take a moment to explore past awardees and consider nominating a project you admire, especially those led by Global South communities, minoritized groups, or in languages beyond English. 🌍

Oh wow that is bad!
On the up side: when submitting that as a paper to a journal, they will need to indicate that informed consent was given by the study participants. As they can't any such submission should not proceed.
At least as minimum standard for any social sciences journal. We do have clear ethic guidelines for that after all ...in theory apparently :(
