Mix it up with fellow developers, researchers, technologists and scientists for an hour of brainstorming and networking. Developers interested in using your powers for good? Scientists looking to learn new technologies? Come meet up! Let’s discuss some of the new and exciting citizen science projects out there, learn about software carpentry projects that help scientists learn and leverage software skills. Developers come hook up with scientists and researchers to share your skills and expertise.

science?
Why aren’t more projects using web
technologies?
What challenges & technical difficulties
exist?

8. What successful
community building
experiences do you have?
What can we learn from the audience, how
can your experience help science?
Are their communities we are failing to
reach? How do we make more impact?
