WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:18.000
It's 1215 and we have a special slot that we intended for exchanges with our audience, that's you.

00:18.000 --> 00:27.000
So we will do a five minute presentation of the team really quick, maybe not even a roundtable.

00:27.000 --> 00:30.000
I don't even know how we're going to do this.

00:30.000 --> 00:43.000
We have five minutes where we want to ask you if you want to join us, just a very important part of this slot is us asking you to come to the open research forum.

00:43.000 --> 00:47.000
And then a moment for question.

00:48.000 --> 00:51.000
Do we, do we share the mic? Do I present you?

00:51.000 --> 00:55.000
Do we, how do we do this? My name is Diego.

00:55.000 --> 01:02.000
I am a research engineering in Switzerland right now in the University of Nishatel.

01:02.000 --> 01:09.000
It's been, I think, more than five years I am in the devroom organizing team.

01:09.000 --> 01:12.000
It started with Paul and Mathew.

01:12.000 --> 01:16.000
So I guess I should pass you the mic.

01:16.000 --> 01:25.000
Thanks man. Hi everyone. I'm a researcher. I'm in Copenhagen right now and I used to be a research engineer and where I've been doing making some software.

01:25.000 --> 01:36.000
I work in social science. I think something that might be relevant to mention is in which context in which kind of fields we work on because we try to cover.

01:36.000 --> 01:45.000
I mean, the extent of science and also in this devroom extending to journalism activism to some extent.

01:45.000 --> 01:57.000
Because we tend to use the same kind of tools if you have tool that works for sociology, it's probably works for journalists as well. So we pull that.

01:58.000 --> 02:06.000
All right. Hi everyone. So I'm Paul. So I've been a research engineer in social sciences for a long time.

02:06.000 --> 02:14.000
But then I switched and I actually have my own company. So I also represent here research engineers that are subcontractors.

02:14.000 --> 02:21.000
Let's say building software as far research teams from outside of academia which also works.

02:21.000 --> 02:23.000
And yeah, that's me.

02:23.000 --> 02:24.000
Jim.

02:27.000 --> 02:34.000
Thanks. Yes. I'm Jim Edge. I'm a research software engineer from the UK.

02:34.000 --> 02:42.000
I've been helping this room for two years and it's my third full stem. So the first year I spoke in stream.

02:42.000 --> 02:47.000
And I think I'm a bit an example of what the takers saying earlier.

02:47.000 --> 02:54.000
I was speaking about a project I'm involved in called the Cheering Way, which is sort of a research project.

02:54.000 --> 03:04.000
But not really. It's like a collaboratively written guide that's a reproducible ethical collaborative data science.

03:04.000 --> 03:09.000
Yeah, that's something I spent quite a bit of time on now.

03:09.000 --> 03:15.000
Yeah, that's it. Isn't it? That was the next.

03:15.000 --> 03:19.000
Hi everyone. I'm Victor.

03:19.000 --> 03:28.000
I was remember just being in the room the first time we did open research in 2020.

03:28.000 --> 03:33.000
I used to be a researcher in physics. Now I do data science in drug discovery.

03:33.000 --> 03:41.000
And I've been part of a committee for the last two years, I think, two or three time flies.

03:41.000 --> 03:52.000
And it's to me it's an anchor into open research in open source technologies, which are not completely core part of my job now.

03:52.000 --> 03:58.000
So it's still happy to contribute that way.

03:58.000 --> 04:05.000
Yeah, go for it, maybe.

04:06.000 --> 04:15.000
Hi, how are you? I'm Violeta. I'm a computer vision research software engineer at the University of Surrey in the UK.

04:15.000 --> 04:25.000
And I do things with 3D reconstruction, novel views, indices, matching learning models, deep learning.

04:25.000 --> 04:35.000
Yeah, I've been involved with reproducibility, open research at Surrey, and just wait for us them for many years.

04:35.000 --> 04:39.000
Who is next? Yes, maybe I'm last.

04:39.000 --> 04:46.000
Emiliano, so a researcher in the computational social stance in Paris, so in the source of Paris.

04:46.000 --> 04:54.000
I took here twice, I give a hand when I can, and I learn every day every year and stuff here.

04:54.000 --> 05:00.000
So it's a place where I increase my investment in an open source software.

05:00.000 --> 05:03.000
Yeah, one bit of the other.

05:03.000 --> 05:07.000
I have to mention that there are more people here.

05:07.000 --> 05:15.000
Yeah, okay, most importantly, so the committee is not perfectly gender balance, but we have also, like, most women in the committee.

05:15.000 --> 05:23.000
In the committee could not be there, and it's a kind of a coincidence, aside from having babies, which is also part of the, of the game.

05:23.000 --> 05:35.000
But it's always difficult, as you know, to have women, and I would say, not so difficult to have them in the, in the committee, but to have them proposed talks.

05:36.000 --> 05:43.000
So in the talks we select, it's not so bad, but in the talks we receive, it's extremely skewed.

05:43.000 --> 05:50.000
And one of the ways to get out of this is not only to have women presenting talks, but also being involved in the committee and so on.

05:50.000 --> 05:56.000
Because part of the job is also to publicize the devroom, so that is the way to do it and so on.

05:56.000 --> 06:03.000
So it's always, well, would you consider joining us? Would you consider joining the devroom?

06:03.000 --> 06:09.000
Because one of the, the work is not so bad because we are so many.

06:09.000 --> 06:15.000
But the thing is, every time we publicize, you try to enrich new people, we have kind of exhausted after seven years.

06:15.000 --> 06:22.000
Our social networks and fresh new blood helps extend the profile and shape the devroom on someone.

06:22.000 --> 06:29.000
It's not that much work. We are enough to review everything and someone multiple times.

06:29.000 --> 06:31.000
So that's, that's our call.

06:31.000 --> 06:37.000
Should I mention each and every single person, maybe, so we have a, just by name, I want to mention,

06:37.000 --> 06:44.000
Any steal, she was stuck in the UK for visa questions, which was a many occasions, occurrences of this year.

06:44.000 --> 06:48.000
Celia question Daniel could not come, she's been with us for a while.

06:48.000 --> 06:55.000
Deborah, I think Deborah Udo is here in the first name, but she didn't.

06:55.000 --> 07:01.000
And Sarah, just had babies, but Sarah will,

07:01.000 --> 07:06.000
Exactly. She will be with us soon, we hope.

07:06.000 --> 07:11.000
And we also have a yo Yehudi who is on and off, depending on how, whether she can come or not.

07:11.000 --> 07:15.000
She's often, she was used to be more online during the Covid times.

07:16.000 --> 07:20.000
We just had one year before the Covid. They said the devroom is seven years old.

07:20.000 --> 07:28.000
And another thing I would like to mention is another bias we have is we tend to be more on the social science side.

07:28.000 --> 07:35.000
But so we take, we would like to have more people involved in the community in the natural science side.

07:35.000 --> 07:40.000
It would help attract different kinds of talks, just a relevant.

07:40.000 --> 07:44.000
The devroom was initially created by two different teams that were good match together.

07:44.000 --> 07:48.000
But ultimately we landed on the social science side.

07:48.000 --> 07:51.000
But Achilles is here somewhere in the first name.

07:51.000 --> 07:52.000
Yep.

07:52.000 --> 07:56.000
The original founder of this devroom of Neurosciences.

07:56.000 --> 07:59.000
We broke the project about time.

07:59.000 --> 08:01.000
Look.

08:01.000 --> 08:03.000
We're ending this.

08:03.000 --> 08:10.000
Go ahead.

08:10.000 --> 08:17.000
So where is the scope of the open research devroom?

08:17.000 --> 08:21.000
We do have a website.

08:21.000 --> 08:24.000
Yes.

08:24.000 --> 08:27.000
That's the scope.

08:27.000 --> 08:30.000
Is the scope explained in this version of the website?

08:30.000 --> 08:34.000
Yes.

08:34.000 --> 08:35.000
No.

08:35.000 --> 08:40.000
This is good.

08:40.000 --> 08:41.000
Yeah.

08:41.000 --> 08:46.000
But you can read that but in short.

08:46.000 --> 08:51.000
So two science, which in this, the context of the first name means open source.

08:51.000 --> 08:53.000
First of all, open source.

08:53.000 --> 08:56.000
If you're not open source, you can't present to the first name.

08:56.000 --> 08:58.000
The devroom.

08:58.000 --> 09:01.000
Tools for science.

09:01.000 --> 09:03.000
And this made me mean different things.

09:03.000 --> 09:06.000
So you will see in this devroom, the bunch of tools.

09:06.000 --> 09:11.000
All discussions about technology, open source technologies.

09:11.000 --> 09:13.000
And the questions linked to technology.

09:13.000 --> 09:16.000
So could be discussions about openness and so on.

09:16.000 --> 09:22.000
And as I said before, so science is whatever is scientific, so from any field.

09:22.000 --> 09:29.000
But also extended to other kinds of non-scientific fields who would work with knowledge.

09:29.000 --> 09:32.000
And in particular, journalism.

09:32.000 --> 09:38.000
Open source intelligence would qualify some form of activism.

09:38.000 --> 09:42.000
Open hardware also qualifies.

09:42.000 --> 09:47.000
But in a scientific or no-latch production context.

09:47.000 --> 09:51.000
No-latch production is what I was about to say.

09:51.000 --> 09:57.000
Open source intelligence.

09:57.000 --> 10:06.000
And sometimes it's a bit of a discussion within ourselves when we review abstracts.

10:06.000 --> 10:07.000
All right.

10:07.000 --> 10:09.000
So yeah, open researchers.

10:09.000 --> 10:14.000
Sometimes it's really easy to see the link when we have abstracts.

10:14.000 --> 10:18.000
It's obvious or it's obvious to part of a committee.

10:18.000 --> 10:23.000
But we want to cover a really wide range of topics.

10:23.000 --> 10:29.000
Meaning that sometimes the link might not be obvious to at least part of the people.

10:29.000 --> 10:37.000
Or that to say that if you're passionate about a topic you think is open research.

10:37.000 --> 10:41.000
Join us, come talk to us, advocate.

10:42.000 --> 10:47.000
We want to have large topics, but we have limits in our knowledge.

10:47.000 --> 10:52.000
And that's also one way to contribute.

10:52.000 --> 10:55.000
I want to add the description.

10:55.000 --> 11:00.000
We've just presented as a proposal that we make to the presenters.

11:00.000 --> 11:05.000
But the first way the devroom is shaped is by the proposals we receive.

11:05.000 --> 11:07.000
So for example, some years.

11:07.000 --> 11:12.000
We had a lot of things about the reproducibility crisis.

11:12.000 --> 11:13.000
And then we'd be a lot about that.

11:13.000 --> 11:16.000
And then it kind of stopped and then comes back a little bit.

11:16.000 --> 11:17.000
It could be a one year.

11:17.000 --> 11:19.000
It's a lot of fair principles to things.

11:19.000 --> 11:21.000
This did not come from us.

11:21.000 --> 11:23.000
It came from you guys.

11:23.000 --> 11:25.000
So proposals shaped it.

11:25.000 --> 11:27.000
And then the committee.

11:27.000 --> 11:29.000
So whoever is in the committee also shapes it.

11:29.000 --> 11:32.000
So which means that if you're in and you want to change that every year.

11:32.000 --> 11:34.000
We wonder if we will change it and adapt it.

11:34.000 --> 11:37.000
Every year we move a few things.

11:37.000 --> 11:42.000
So everything is up for discussion and reconfiguration.

11:42.000 --> 11:44.000
But you just have to step in.

11:44.000 --> 11:46.000
Nothing is locked in.

11:46.000 --> 11:51.000
We have former members of the room that come to visit.

11:51.000 --> 11:52.000
That's really cool.

11:52.000 --> 11:54.000
They try to hide in the very big.

11:54.000 --> 11:55.000
Exactly.

11:55.000 --> 11:56.000
Very discreet.

11:56.000 --> 11:59.000
You don't have to die in the devroom.

11:59.000 --> 12:00.000
You can leave it.

12:00.000 --> 12:01.000
Yes.

12:01.000 --> 12:03.000
No, that's also really important.

12:03.000 --> 12:06.000
You can come in and come out whenever you want participating.

12:06.000 --> 12:08.000
It's not a lucky process.

12:08.000 --> 12:11.000
We are really flexible in our way of organizing.

12:11.000 --> 12:13.000
And it has been said.

12:13.000 --> 12:15.000
I think it's not a lot of work.

12:15.000 --> 12:17.000
We are a cool team now.

12:17.000 --> 12:20.000
Almost ten members more or less depending on the year.

12:20.000 --> 12:21.000
It's been five years.

12:21.000 --> 12:22.000
So the process is.

12:22.000 --> 12:24.000
Let's say streamlined.

12:24.000 --> 12:25.000
And it works.

12:25.000 --> 12:26.000
Just works.

12:26.000 --> 12:29.000
There is space for welcoming new members.

12:29.000 --> 12:32.000
And that's what the slot is about.

12:32.000 --> 12:34.000
So yeah, exactly.

12:34.000 --> 12:35.000
Do reach out.

12:35.000 --> 12:37.000
Well, time is it.

12:37.000 --> 12:39.000
Almost.

12:39.000 --> 12:40.000
Are there questions?

12:40.000 --> 12:41.000
No?

12:41.000 --> 12:42.000
Questions.

12:42.000 --> 12:43.000
Yeah.

12:43.000 --> 12:44.000
I don't know.

12:44.000 --> 12:45.000
Down it.

12:45.000 --> 12:47.000
The user.

12:47.000 --> 12:49.000
You're a little more independent.

12:49.000 --> 12:51.000
Microsoft is already.

12:51.000 --> 12:54.000
You probably have to try and succeed.

12:54.000 --> 12:55.000
I agree with GV.

12:55.000 --> 12:58.000
If you've done that as network sales.

12:59.000 --> 13:04.000
So I think some of us discovered this through the graph.

13:04.000 --> 13:06.000
The room that we should no longer exist.

13:06.000 --> 13:09.000
So a little bit of that.

13:09.000 --> 13:11.000
We can't cover.

13:11.000 --> 13:12.000
Yes.

13:12.000 --> 13:14.000
We also have people in research court.

13:14.000 --> 13:16.000
So I work with.

13:16.000 --> 13:19.000
Absolutely.

13:19.000 --> 13:23.000
The question is, do we have members of the research support.

13:24.000 --> 13:27.000
Yeah, we do welcome.

13:27.000 --> 13:32.000
Well, we discussed about, I don't know, funding to research support

13:32.000 --> 13:33.000
in terms of communication.

13:33.000 --> 13:34.000
Can be also science.

13:34.000 --> 13:37.000
I think none of us have worked specifically in that field.

13:37.000 --> 13:41.000
As I understand it, we had books from the field before a few.

13:41.000 --> 13:43.000
So that would be a welcome addition.

13:43.000 --> 13:44.000
Yeah.

13:44.000 --> 13:45.000
Definitely.

13:45.000 --> 13:48.000
Thanks for the question.

13:48.000 --> 13:50.000
You welcome.

13:50.000 --> 13:51.000
Hey.

13:52.000 --> 13:53.000
We should wrap up.

13:53.000 --> 13:54.000
Yes.

13:54.000 --> 13:55.000
I mean, it's time for the next talk.

13:55.000 --> 13:56.000
Thank you guys.

13:56.000 --> 13:57.000
Who's next?

13:57.000 --> 13:58.000
Thanks.

13:58.000 --> 14:00.000
What's next anyway.
