New #openaccess article out today describes how the Digital Index of North American Archaeology's (DINAA) strategies can help everybody connect heritage data better. Check out the whole open theme issue from @aap_saaorg

One month to go until #SODU2023. Got your ticket yet? Open Data should, be at the centre of transparency in Scotland. It has enormous potential for economic growth, fuelling innovation and empowering citizens. Join attendees from the public sector, academia, civic society to share insight; collaborate; create and plan; and gain understanding of how open data can underpin your business, your teaching and your community. https://ti.to/code-the-city/sodu-2023#opendata#innovation#research#workshops
We are happy to announce that the call for participation for the first ever distribits meeting is now online at https://distribits.live
This meeting is organized by the folks behind git-annex and DataLad. We aim to bring together enthusiasts of tools and workflows in the domain of distributed data.
We are looking forward to April 2024 and to meeting people from everywhere, online and in Düsseldorf.
Wondered if anyone familiar with #opendata and #openlicensing had any opinions on the paper (I've not read it yet), or if there was more information about the project elsewhere?
This is gonna sound like an ad, but I swear I really mean it:
My train was 30 minutes delayed, so I used @streetcomplete to add some information to #OpenStreetMap. It's a really great app. I recommend keeping it on your device and using it whenever you have a few minutes to kill. Especially business opening hours get outdated so quickly. We should all maintain an open map that isn't pay to win!
PS: They don't discount open access, open data, and open code (or open protocols, preregistration, and so on). They take a step back and ask what strategies will advance them.
Simple tools can make big changes. Not every software project costs millions & takes months to develop. Sometimes it only takes one clever developer like @badlogic and his food price comparison. This was a hack, #OpenData needs to be the conclusion. https://www.wired.com/story/heisse-preise-food-prices/

The successful #Mastodon and #PeerTube instances for #EU institutions run by @EDPS will be shut down on May 18th 😥
It seems that the #EuropeanCommission and #EVP have no interest in promoting independent, #bigtech-free and low-surveillance European platforms and thus a free and democratic discourse…
I don't think everyone realizes how much #neuroscience#opendata is really downloaded and reused...
e.g. our dataset of responses to visual stimuli has 18,000 downloads; wholebrain #zebrafish neural activity from the Ahrens lab has 7,000 downloads; Nick Steinmetz's eight-probe Neuropixels data has 6,500 downloads. and there are many commonly used neuro datasets on websites that don't count downloads that must have thousands too!
The Finnish public broadcasting company #YLE asked how Finns greet each other & made a cool #map or a few showing regional patterns in the use of "hei", "moi", "terve" etc.
As a geographer and a featherweight linguist, this is a cool dataset. It's used for research and teaching at the University of Eastern Finland, but whether it's #OpenData is not clear. Also, the use of postal code areas is understandable but not the best.
The City of Chattanooga is looking for a Data Analyst (Data Engineer) to join the Office of Performance Management and Open Data. Build reliable data pipelines and contribute towards making Chattanooga the best place to live for all Chattanoogans.
