Over the past year I’ve had the opportunity to participate in the work of a National Academies Committee advising NASA Earth and Space Sciences on Open Source policies and strategies for their scientific work. The report from this work was released a few days ago and can be found at
Participating in this work was a fascinating experience, and a really important counter-balance to the narratives that say open source is the answer, and all related questions are simple. I think that this is an excellent report that honestly represents the complexities that we will encounter as we move to open science.
