In Fedora, we "default to open". It is our ethos, our driving philosophy---everything should be done openly, transparently, and everyone should be able to use, share, modify, study everything we generate. It is easy to see why such a philosophy is necessary for science---everything that is used and/or generated in science should be openly accessible, without restriction, by all. Everyone should be able to use, share, modify, study all scientific work. In recent years, the Open Science movement has gained ground. Policy making bodies, grant bodies, and individuals have all started to provide both carrots and sticks to encourage researchers to follow Open Science practices from the get go, not as an after thought.
In this talk, we (members of the NeuroFedora SIG) will give an overview of the neuroscientific research pipeline with special focus on how heavily reliant it is on FOSS. We hope to increase awareness of how FOSS is used in neuroscience to start conversations on what we as a community, and as individuals can do to help drive Open (neuro)science.
