Free software in sciences
Knowledge sharing and free access to the methods used are necessary to scientific works (reproductivity, refutability, …). The free software movement (conceptualized in college laboratories) has transposed those principles into software development and data production through a particular use of copyright. Hence, it seems normal that scientists are users and developers of those free software and resources, their research work auxiliaries.
The topic "Free software in sciences / Libre resources and software for scientific research" aims at discovering free software and resources existing nowadays and used for scientific research. LSM is one of the few event where people from the different communities (developers, researchers, scientists, engineer and users) can meet and ashare their experiences with the available tools.
Main topics this year:
free software for biology (Thursday),
free scientific resources (Friday AM),
free software for linguistic and computational linguistic (Friday PM).
Coordinators: Frédéric Lehobey, Valérie-Emma Leroux, Fabien Poulard
Some parallel scientific meetings will also take place during the week: see here and there.
Copartner event: OGRS
