This Saturday I attended the first workshop run by Open Science Workshops at the Inspire9 collaborative workspace. Open Source Workshops is a new initiative aiming to promote open source tools and techniques to the scientific community.

The workshop consisted of two main parts: an introduction to the basics of Github (creating repositories, commiting, forking, merging…) and the SageMathCloud; and a serious of talks:

A common theme running through the talks (apart from open access) was the need to move towards 21st century tools and processes, both for collaboration and publishing.

Overall it was a worthwhile experience and hopefully there will be more in the future, if you are interested in the details the talks and agenda are available here on Github.
