The National Institutes of Health has released new policy to improve and refine the sharing of, and collaboration around, research data.
The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) have issued a tool kit to improve and encourage university support of Open Scholarship.
Across the European Union, the creation of national policies on Open Science and Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) for Government is accelerating.
OSPOs have been created by a few universites to utilize techniques pioneered in private industry to better facilitate academic Open Work.

Join Us

The format of DevOpsDays London includes a single track of 30 minute talks in the morning of each event, followed by Ignite talks (5 minute, auto forwarding). We spend the rest of the afternoon in Open Spaces, which are considered a key portion of the event.

Bitkom Forum Open Source 2022
2022-09-29 10:00 - 17:00 | Arena Erfurt at the Steigerwaldstadion, Arena Erfurt at the Steigerwaldstadion, Mozartallee 3, 99096, Germany
“The headlines about log4j were only a few weeks ago and have triggered an intensive discussion about the security of open source software, but also about software supply chains in general. For in addition to the criticality of individual programme libraries and modules, it is becoming clear that critical dependencies can put entire software stacks and software supply chains at risk. This was recently joined by a (renewed) debate about the funding of critical open source packages, which was triggered by the developer of the open source projects Colors.js and Faker.js [1].
At the same time, open source has arrived in the German economy. This is clearly demonstrated by the figures of the Bitkom Open Source Monitor 2021. The deployment and use of open source is part of the daily business for many companies and organisations. This raises numerous questions about the fundamental but above all the secure use of open source software.
The 8th Bitkom Forum Open Source (#bfoss22) will address various aspects of the security of and with open source and offer a stage for impulses, ideas, and initiatives. Because the successful deployment and use of open source software requires trust and competence: Open Source. But secure!”
