Please note, this code of conduct is enforced both online and offline. 4 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /CONTRIBUTING.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Contribution guidance 2 | 3 | We're organizing our work here to be more transparent, and invite participation from the community in OpenCon at every opportunity. 4 | 5 | Github can be hard to use, but we're only using a small part of it. We use "Github Issues" to organize our discussions and projects. Issues work a lot like email threads, and we welcome anyone to start or comment on a discussion. 6 | 7 | Before you contribute, there are two things we ask you do: 8 | * Please read & abide by our [Code of Conduct](http://www.opencon2017.org/code_of_conduct) 9 | * Please be aware that all contributions will be licensed CC-BY. 10 | 11 | ## How to post or comment on an issue 12 | 1. Make sure you have a Github account, and are logged in. They're free and need very little information to make! You can get one [here](https://github.com/join). 13 | 2. Click on the [Issues tab](https://github.com/sparcopen/opencon/issues) while on our repository. 14 | 3. Get involved! You can make a new issue by clicking "New Issue" in the upper right hand corner. This will email OpenCon staff with your thoughts. Or, you can find an existing issue you'd like to comment on. 15 | 16 | ![makeanissue](http://g.recordit.co/uD49cWOhfi.gif) 17 | 18 | # Questions 19 | 20 | You can direct any questions about the repository, or OpenCon, to @JosephMcArthur / Joe@righttoresearch.org. 21 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | [//]: # "======================= 2 | Instructions for posting issues: 3 | (1) Review what is already there. Perhaps a comment to an existing issue would be more appropriate than opening a new one? Issues can be a topic idea, a cry for help, a to-do, or a discussion / question about OpenCon itself. 4 | (2) Write your post (below this text blob) using Markdown (as per https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/ ) or just plain text. Some quick tips: 5 | * Use # to reference another issue. 6 | * Use @ to tag someone 7 | * - [ ] to tag someone 8 | (3) Hit the 'Submit new issue' button. You can edit after you submit. 9 | 10 | Don't worry about these introductory lines they won't display unless you submit over email. 11 | ============================" 12 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /LICENSE.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License 2 | 3 | By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions. 4 | 5 | Section 1 – Definitions. 6 | 7 | Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed relation with a moving image. 8 | Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License. 9 | Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar rights closely related to copyright including, without limitation, performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights. 10 | Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international agreements. 11 | Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material. 12 | Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database, or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public License. 13 | Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license. 14 | Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under this Public License. 15 | Share means to provide material to the public by any means or process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution, dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material available to the public including in ways that members of the public may access the material from a place and at a time individually chosen by them. 16 | Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world. 17 | You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning. 18 | Section 2 – Scope. 19 | 20 | License grant. 21 | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to: 22 | reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and 23 | produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material. 24 | Exceptions and Limitations.

The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a). 26 | Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material. 27 | Downstream recipients. 28 | Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material. Every recipient of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this Public License. 29 | No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed Material. 30 | No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i). 31 | Other rights. 32 | 33 | Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise. 34 | Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License. 35 | To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties. 36 | Section 3 – License Conditions. 37 | 38 | Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions. 39 | 40 | Attribution. 41 | 42 | If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must: 43 | 44 | retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material: 45 | identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated); 46 | a copyright notice; 47 | a notice that refers to this Public License; 48 | a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties; 49 | a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably practicable; 50 | indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an indication of any previous modifications; and 51 | indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this Public License. 52 | You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information. 53 | If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable. 54 | If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with this Public License. 55 | Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights. 56 | 57 | Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material: 58 | 59 | for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database; 60 | if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and 61 | You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. 62 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights. 63 | Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability. 64 | 65 | Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You. 66 | To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You. 67 | The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability. 68 | Section 6 – Term and Termination. 69 | 70 | This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically. 71 | Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates: 72 | 73 | automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or 74 | upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. 75 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License. 76 | For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License. 77 | Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License. 78 | Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions. 79 | 80 | The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. 81 | Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License. 82 | Section 8 – Interpretation. 83 | 84 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this Public License. 85 | To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions. 86 | No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor. 87 | Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority. 88 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Welcome to the OpenCon HQ 2 | 3 | OpenCon is a conference and community dedicated to advancing open research and education. In an effort to walk the talk, while increasing our effectiveness, transparency and openness we're changing our organizing processes to be "open-by-default". 4 | 5 | ## What you can find here 6 | 7 | On this repository you'll find the discussions we're having, what we're planning, what we're making and more. 8 | 9 | # Using Github 10 | 11 | Github was designed for coders to store their projects, but we're using it differently. Here, we'll use Github to replace internal email lists, gantt charts, and to-do lists with a more open system. 12 | 13 | # How to use this repository 14 | 15 | If you're not familiar with using Github, please don't hesitate to reach out. For OC members, all that is required is making an account and responding to messages, which is possible over email as usual. This section provides more information on the different parts of the system and how we'll use them. 16 | 17 | ## Getting notified 18 | 19 | If you're on the Organizing Committee, you can ignore this section, unless you want to be jnotified about **everything**. For most people, the right setting is "watch", which is the default. 20 | 21 | You can adjust your email notification settings as shown by the Gif. Usually, you'll only need to update these if you never want to get an email, or you want to get every email from the repo (even if it doesn't directly concern you). 22 | 23 | ![soeasy](http://g.recordit.co/Bo2gHzV96q.gif) 24 | 25 | If Gifs aren't your thing... 26 | > Up in the top right, there's a button that says 'Watch'; click it, and set yourself to 'Watching'. This will send you email notifications of new discussions; if you don't want email, but would like an alert just on GitHub, change the setting in Settings -> Notification Center. 27 | 28 | ## Issues 29 | 30 | Issues are where we host discussions about OpenCon. They're easy to [find above](https://github.com/sparcopen/opencon/issues). 31 | 32 | You can respond to an issue from your email client. When you get a notification, just hit reply - no need to use the site. 33 | 34 | ### When to start an issue 35 | 36 | We're trying to be open by default, and use this to centre all to-do's & discussion. So, the answer is always, except: 37 | * when it concerns fundraising, personnel (or personal) information, something we've not announced yet (e.g a big grant activity), or other highly sensitive issues. 38 | * when it's a todo that you can complete without anyone else's input (to track it, a "- [ ] " on an existing issue might make more sense). 39 | 40 | If you're unsure, ask. 41 | 42 | * You can start an issue via email by sending your message to cloo+sparcopen/opencon@cottagelabs.com. The subject is your issue title, the email body is the issue comment. 43 | 44 | ### When to close an issue 45 | 46 | When something is "done". This will depend on the issue at hand. A good practice is to, early on, define what "done" means. 47 | 48 | Anyone can, and should, close an issue when it is done. 49 | 50 | Closing an issue is a reversible process. If you think something needs more discussion or something was missed - reopen. 51 | 52 | ### Including others 53 | 54 | By default, only a small fraction of the people included in a repository will be included. To reach out to more you can: 55 | * "@" them directly by username 56 | * "@" them by team name: 57 | * @sparcopen/oc-opencon 58 | * @sparcopen/staff-opencon 59 | 60 | NOTE: Many OC members will not see messages by default. 61 | 62 | ### Assigning 63 | 64 | Assigning is used to help people understand who can take action on an issue and who's responsible. 65 | 66 | ### Labels 67 | 68 | Labels add metadata and enable easy sorting of issues. 69 | 70 | ### Milestones 71 | 72 | Milestones make issues / to-do's timebound. We occationally use these for specific deadlines, but usually they're used to track our progress generally and note what we want to do each year. E.g our one for 2018 is https://github.com/sparcopen/opencon/milestone/13. 73 | 74 | ## Projects 75 | 76 | We use projects to make OpenCon's Gantt Chart: https://github.com/sparcopen/opencon/projects/5. This helps us track and manage our workloads. 77 | 78 | ## Files / Code 79 | 80 | For now, we're generally not using GitHub to store files. Instead, we're going to stick to our normal Google Docs ways, and simply link out to our drive & important files. 81 | 82 | # Other OpenCon repositories 83 | 84 | We have a couple of other repositories for specific OpenCon projects, code, and datasets. You can find them [here](https://github.com/sparcopen/). 85 | 86 | # Any Questions? 87 | 88 | Ask @JosephMcArthur / joe@righttoresearch.org 89 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /docs/_config.yml: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | theme: jekyll-theme-cayman -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /docs/index.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Welcome to the OpenCon HQ 2 | 3 | OpenCon is a conference and community dedicated to advancing open research and education.
