This townhall meeting focuses on discussing best practices not only on using Free Open Source for geospatial but its developments and support, and how extra efforts required to publish not only the results can be recognized as part of the work of a scientist.
At this townhall, we will touchdown on the most up-to-date topics related to Free Open-Source for Geospatial software and Open Science practices.
Alessandro Frigeri from Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica of Italy (INAF) will introduce the session and briefly overview the latest developments of FOSS tools interoperable with geospatial data coming from missions from Mars, the Moon, and other bodies of the Solar System.
Kevin Murphy (NASA HQ, Washington) will present the Transform to Open Science (TOPS) initiative aimed at transforming agencies, organizations, and communities to an inclusive culture of open science.
Peter Loewe will report how Persistent Identifiers (PID) like Digital Object Identifiers can be used to improve indexing not only our scientific papers but also software projects and geospatial data.
The session will keep 20 minutes for open discussion about the topics touched at the session.
