[Robert R. Downs via ESIP-all]

Dear Colleagues:

If the topic seems relevant to your work, please consider submitting an 
abstract to the following session of the 2014 Fall AGU Meeting.

Session Title: Enabling Science Through Reuse of Data and Free and Open 
Source Software

Session URL:

Session ID#: 3135
Session Description:
Science today relies heavily on software. Free and Open Source Software 
is of particular importance to science because the open access to its 
source codes addresses the fundamental principle of transparency and 
reproducibility of science. This session will describe concepts and best 
practices for contributing and adopting open source software to improve 
science and enable the sharing and reuse of scientific data. Topics 
include the growing role of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in 
science, infrastructure and software evolution, successful applications, 
community models, licensing, enabling interoperability, and concepts and 
best practices for providing and communicating scientific software 
through code repositories and publications.
