The Open Science Panel, hosted by John Wilbanks, at the 2006 South by South Interactive Festival will discuss the development of legal, economic and technical approaches to openness in science. This page is to help organize the panel's thoughts on what should be discussed at the panel.

Participants

Moderator: John Wilbanks -- Exec Dir, Science Commons

Barbara Cohen -- Exec Editor, Public Library of Science
Sri Kosuri -- Graduate Student, MIT/OpenWetWare
Antoun Nabhan -- Principal, Sagamore Bioventures
Susy Struble -- Sun Microsystems

Format

Everyone should be ready to give a five minute overview, no slides or at most two slides, as we get started.

  1. John
    • intro
  2. Barbara
    • open publishing experience
  3. Susy
    • open standards
  4. Sri
    • OpenWetWare
    • Synthetic Biology
  5. Antoun
    • costs of innovation

We will try to keep this section under 30 minutes to have a larger discussion/Q&A session. If no one comes, we can occupy the time talking to each other.

Logistics

We are supposed to meet in the Green Room (Ballroom E) on Tuesday morning by 9AM. There is a tentative plan to meet for dinner and/or drinks on Monday night in Austin somewhere. At some point, we should send contact info to each other over email.

  • BC: I'll be arriving on Monday late afternoon and staying at the Capitol Place, the hotel formerly know as Crowne Plaza, 500 N. IH-35, Austin, TX 78701. Hotel phone: 512-480-8181. Feel free to call me on my cell phone (see email) but don't count on my ability to retrieve messages. Would definitively be up for drinks/dinner on Monday night.

The discussion was centered around three major topics:

Intellectual Property

Antoun -- talked about how venture and new companies are operating under current intellectual property regimes. In emerging fields,

Sri --

John -- SC mission to simplify licensing restrictions?

Suzy -- what can the life science community learn from the open-cource expetience in IT?

Technology

Suzy -- Standards at Sun and in IT Development

Sri -- Initiatives in SB to set biological standards: Parts registry, BioBricks Foundation, et cetera

John -- Access to scientific data

Barbera -- Getting information resources to talk with one another.

Culture

Barbera -- Reward structures & Publishing Models.

John -- Science Commons

Sri -- OpenWetWare
