Ni! This Tuesday I’ll be presenting at the Innovation Forum 2021 of the Research Network on Innovation on the push for institutional policies for OScH, with a focus on GOSH and the policy brief writing and eventual advocacy process. I’ll later be giving a related talk to the French Network of Fablabs , on June 15th.
I’m going to use this thread to take public notes and ask questions, which I’ll be working on the answers, but also hoping some of you might help me with! Just take care to click on the right “reply” button if you’d like to contribute.
Cheers!

#Question
How did institutional policy emerge as a priority in the GOSH roadmap?
Did this priority have a wide constituency from the start?
Who were the people who brought this to the table and what were their motivations?

#Question
How important was grant funding towards acting on the institutional policy priority?
#Question
What are and where are the documents that could serve as sources to understand the history of this issue in GOSH and even OSH more generally?

Roadmap Document
Hi everyone, at GOSH in Santiago there are several sessions set aside for people to work through some of the bigger ideas associated with open science hardware. As people who came to GOSH 2016 at CERN will remember we began working on the manifesto via a much longer document that compiled our ideas on challenges and the best steps forward on topics ranging from business models to diversity.
Over the last month there has been a revival of the roadmap via a small workshop at CER…
Just arrived at CERN Geneva for a Pre-GOSH session with Shannon Dosemagen, Jenny Molloy, Anna Lowe, Luis Felipe and Greg Austic and Francois Grey. Tom Igoe and more local people will join us tomorrow.
The idea of the three day meeting (2-4 March) here at the place where GOSH2016 happened is to prepare a more technical roadmap separately from the manifesto. The primary goal of this roadmap is to have an impact (boom) on major science organizations – both funders and labs – by outlining clearly t…

The post on the first policy writing sprint (one could also include the policy brief documents themselves):
Hi Everyone!
In February, I shared that members of the GOSH Community are organising a series of writing sprints to bring forward recommendations in the GOSH Community Roadmap: namely to develop guidance on Open Science Hardware (OScH) aimed at research funders, technology transfer offices (TTOs), and international policy. You can see the original forum post here . The first writing workshop, focused on developing guidance on supporting open science hardware for TTOs, was convened this past Mond…
And of course the manifesto and the roadmap themselves:
The GOSH Roadmap: Concrete actions to make Open Science Hardware ubiquitous by 2025.Executive SummaryThe ability to use, study, replicate, and improve scientific instrumentation is a central part of experimental science, and plays a crucial role in...

My reading of the material I’ve found so far suggests that it didn’t have a wide appeal from the start, though the issue seemed clear for a small group of people who made it get through to the roadmap. These people are people who have a longer history of institutional battles, be it within universities or through foundations.

My current understanding is that concrete steps - that is, other than identification of the issue and its prioritization - in this direction from GOSH as a community were only taken in connection with grant support. I’d really like some help here as there may be stuff that are not visible through the docs I’ve found!

Ni! And here are the slides, in English, of my presentation to the French Fablab Network:

They’re similar but in a way more interesting than the Innovation Forum presentation. .~´
