EdgeVPN.io is an evolution of the IP-over-P2P (IPOP) project. IPOP started as an IP-based peer-to-peer overlay targeting personal devices, and over time the architecture evolved to adopt various standards, support centralized user/group management, and incorporate software-defined networking, culminating in the current architecture, tailored for research and development in nascent edge computing applications.

EdgeVPNio is a research project to build networking for the fog, spanning the network continuum from the cloud to its edge. It builds networking cyber-infrastructure which supports emerging IoT era applications.
Looks like this one might be a bit of fun for #p2p people, or i suppose #DistributedSystems people generally. No prior experience reviewing for JOSS is required, experience with Python is required, and some experience with the topic area is preferred. Don't be shy! If you've never done open review before, JOSS is a great place to start. It's a really good way to learn by teaching (or learn by reading!) in a collaborative context. You can reply here or on the pre-review issue to volunteer :)
edit: would love to have some infosec people on this one! even and especially if you are not in academia :)
You'll be working with another reviewer to read and run the code, make sure it fills a basic checklist which usually only takes a few hours, and beyond that whatever youd like to focus on. Both of these are collaborative review processes where the goal is to help these packages be usable, well documented, and maintainable for the overall health of free scientific software.
Its fun, I promise! Happy to answer questions and boosts welcome.
Edit: feel free to volunteer as a reply here, DM me, or commenting on those issues! Anyone is welcome! Some experience with the language required, but other than that I can coach you through the rest.
One of the things I keep thinking about in my #PhD is the need for an #academic#conference service in universities that handles the logistics of running workshops, symposia, conferences, etc.
From what I can see, this work is done by academics, and while they often do a great job, it's not their core skill set, and it takes away from key research activities.
The service offering I see this service having would be venue booking, AV setup, hybrid conference arrangement, CfP and papers talks and proceeding management, website production, as well as some form of social media and promotional management.
There are platforms - like #OpenReview - that handle parts of this service, but we need an integrated service offering, preferably at the whole of sector level ...
Here's a template for replying to review requests, if you like:
> If the article is available as a preprint, I will happily publicly review it (on PREReview) and then transfer my review to [your system].
>
> It doesn't look like the article is available as a preprint yet.
>
> If there is a credible reason why this article cannot be shared as a pre-print, let me know, and I will reconsider.
Looking at a recent graph from the Web of Science service, it's terrible: I no longer review!
In fact, I have just changed my pattern: much less reviews for big companies (Elesevier, ...), a priority for #openreview (conferences and workshops).
Clarivate and co. should recognize that authors are changing their behavior and include this important part of #scientists' jobs. https://www.webofscience.com
