Open Access: Stop the Research Works Act!

Luis Ibanez — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:28:31 -0500

The "Research Works Act" is a proposed legislation that will forbid
US Federal Agencies from requiring the public dissemination of the
results of Publicly funded research.

If passed, this legislation will destroy the NIH Public Access policy,
and preclude the adoption of similar Public Access policies by other
Federal Agencies.

More here at the Association of Research Libraries:

http://www.arl.org/sparc/media/blog/12-0106.shtml

A new bill, The Research Works Act (H.R.3699), designed to roll back the NIH Public Access Policy and block the development of similar policies at other federal agencies has been introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives. Co-sponsored by Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), it was introduced on December 16, 2011, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Essentially, the bill seeks to prohibit federal agencies from conditioning their grants to require that articles reporting on publicly funded research be made accessible to the public online.

The bill text is short and to the point. The main point reads:

"No Federal agency may adopt, implement, maintain, continue, or otherwise engage in any policy, program, or other activity that -- (1) causes, permits, or authorizes network dissemination of any private-sector research work without the prior consent of the publisher of such work; or (2) requires that any actual or prospective author, or the employer of such an actual or prospective author, assent to network dissemination of a private-sector research work."

Supporters of public access to the results of publicly funded research need to speak out against this proposed legislation. Contact Congress to express your opposition today, or as soon as possible.

It has been clarified that the bill interprets "private-sector research" to include all the papers that institutions produce under Federal funding support.

The proposed bill is backed by the Association of American Publishers,

however, several members of the association have indicated that they
do not support this Act.

WIKIPEDIA Blackout to protest SOPA and PIPA

Luis Ibanez — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:14:35 -0500

From:

http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/English_Wikipedia_to_go_dark

<quote>

On January 18, 2012, in an unprecedented decision, the Wikipedia community has chosen to blackout the English version of Wikipedia for 24 hours, in protest against proposed legislation in the United States — the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives, and PROTECTIP (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate. If passed, this legislation will harm the free and open Internet and bring about new tools for censorship of international websites inside the United States.

Over the course of the past 72 hours, over 1800 Wikipedians have joined together to discuss proposed actions that the community might wish to take against SOPA and PIPA. This is by far the largest level of participation in a community discussion ever seen on Wikipedia, which illustrates the level of concern that Wikipedians feel about this proposed legislation. The overwhelming majority of participants support community action to encourage greater public action in response to these two bills. Of the proposals considered by Wikipedians, those that would result in a "blackout" of the English Wikipedia, in concert with similar blackouts on other websites opposed to SOPA and PIPA, received the strongest support.

“Today Wikipedians from around the world have spoken about their opposition to this destructive legislation," said Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia. "This is an extraordinary action for our community to take - and while we regret having to prevent the world from having access to Wikipedia for even a second, we simply cannot ignore the fact that SOPA and PIPA endanger free speech both in the United States and abroad, and set a frightening precedent of Internet censorship for the world."

We urge Wikipedia readers to make your voices heard. If you live in the United States, find your elected representative in Washington (https://www.eff.org/sopacall). If you live outside the United States, contact your State Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs or similar branch of government. Tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and want the internet to remain open and free.

NASA Open Source Portal

Luis Ibanez — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:17:09 -0500

NASA Just deployed its own Open Source Portal.

http://code.nasa.gov/

Another Federal Agency embracing the practices of Open Source.

Software, being the ultimate "Public Good" (non-rival and non-excludable), it is a natural match for infrastructure projects that are funded by public resources. This is emphasized in the case of Federal Agencies whose mission is to foster the state of scientific research.

From their announcement:

"Today we are launching code.nasa.gov, the latest member of the open NASA web family. Through this website, we will continue, unify, and expand NASA’s open source activities. The site will serve to surface existing projects, provide a forum for discussing projects and processes, and guide internal and external groups in open development, release, and contribution."

They start they approach the right way by welcoming the involvement of the public at large:

"Ultimately, our goal is to create a highly visible community hub that will imbue open concepts into the formulation stages of new hardware and software projects, and help existing projects transition to open modes of development and operation. We are going to need your help to get there! Please use “Share your Ideas,” comment on this post, or email us at opengov@nasa.gov to let us know how code can help you, where you would like to see the site go, and how we might best fulfill our purpose."

NASA Certainly has big plans for Open Source:

We believe that tomorrow’s space and science systems will be built in the open, and that code.nasa.gov will play a big part in getting us there. Will your code someday escape our solar system or land on an alien planet? We’re working to make it happen, and with your help, it will.

The National Alliance for Medical Image Computing's All-Hands Meeting

Stephen Aylward — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:08:05 -0500

Several Kitwareans are attending the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing's (NA-MIC's) All-Hands Meeting in Salt Lake City. At this meeting, we are promoting Slicer 4.0.1, the open-source medical image analysis and visualization platform that we released with other NA-MIC developers last week.

Over 100 attendees are at the NA-MIC meeting and using Slicer4 for traumatic brain injury assessment, image-guided surgery, head and neck radiation therapy planning, atrial fibrillation analysis, and more. Our developments in Qt, Python, and image analysis algorithms have been very well received. For more information on the event, the projects, and the attendees from academia and industry, follow this link.

On-going highlights from the meeting include the following:

Julien Finet and Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin have done an outstanding job presenting Slicer4 and working with users to created new modules and to apply them to challenging medical imaging problems:

Danielle Pace is supporting and extending our sliding-organ registration research and TubeTK, finding new collaborators, and working with UCLA on traumatic brain injury applications.
Benjamin Long presented his work on automated GUI testing using Qt and Python. The work is derived from the methods developed by the ParaView team.
Stephen Aylward is working on TubeTK and giving a presentation on "NA-MIC Software Processes and Future Plans" to the NA-MIC External Advisory Board and representatives from the NIH. He is also seeking out new collaborations and applications.

Kitware Trains Students for FIRST LEGO Robotics Tournament, WIN

Katie Sharkey — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:51:14 -0500

On Saturday, December 10th, more than 120 students from school districts across the New York’s Tech Valley region gathered for the FIRST LEGO® League Robotics Regional Qualifying Tournament at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. The tournament was organized by the Hudson Valley FIRST® LEGO® League (HVFLL) and sponsored by RPI’s Center for Initiatives in Pre-College Education and Time Warner Cable.

Fourteen teams competed under the Food Factor™ challenge, which required teams to use science and technology to develop ways of making food safer to eat. Teams of up to 10 children and at least one adult coach had to respond to the challenge by programming an autonomous robot to score points on a themed playing field, and developing a solution to a particular food-related problem they’d identified. Topics included safe transportation and preparation of food, exploring pest control, food temperatures, and pollution as it relates to food production and distribution.

Students were provided with a list of tasks (missions) for their robots to perform on September 1st, allowing for considerable preparation time. At the competition, teams were given three, 2.5 minute attempts at the competition table to complete as many missions as possible. They additionally had three presentations followed by question-and-answer sessions with the judges, which required the students to not only describe how their robots were designed and programmed, but also to describe their research project and solution to their food-related problem.

The Tenja Food Fighters from Orenda Elementary School in Clifton Park, led by Naomi Hoffman, Compliance Officer at Kitware, were the tournament champions and will be heading to the New York state-wide Championship tournament in Poughkeepsie on February 25. This win comes after several years of volunteering efforts from Kitware employees Naomi and Bill Hoffman, Chuck Atkins, and Dave Stoup, who have been teaching LEGO robotics after school at Orenda two hours a week for two six-week sessions since 2009.

“I could not be more proud of our team,” said Naomi Hoffman, leader of the Tenja Food Fighters. “It’s important that they’re learning these skills at such a young age. Hopefully it will inspire these kids to go on and make even greater contributions in technology.”

Congratulations to the Tenja Food Fighters and the Kitware folks who participated in the FIRST LEGO® tournament; best of luck at the state competition in February!

Join Us: Shaping the Future of Federal Public Access Policy

Luis Ibanez — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 08:22:42 -0500

The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is requesting public feedback to draft future policies on public access to data and peer-reviewed publications resulting from Federally Funded Scientific Research (FFSR).

To this end, OSTP has posted two Requests for Information (RFI) and responses are due by January 12, 2012.

At Kitware, we have decided to respond to both RFIs the "Open Source Way".

We have posted the draft of our responses in the two public documents below:

and we now invite you to join us in refining and extending the answers to both RFIs. The documents are open for editing by anyone with the link.

Please join us in improving the feedback that we are providing to OSTP, or if you are satisfied with the current content of the documents, please join us by signing the response at the end of each document.

If you want to suggest large changes to the document, please coordinate with others by using the annotation tools that you will find in the top menu bar.

We will close down edits on January 10th, to format the final document responses and submit them to OSTP by January 12th.

Also, watch for an upcoming inSCIght podcast on this topic, open access and federally funded research, which should be available sometime this week.

CMake 2.8.7 available for download

David Cole — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:32:34 -0500

On behalf of myself, Ken, Bill, Brad, Alex, Zach, Ben and the rest of the CMake team from all around the world, we are pleased to announce that CMake 2.8.7 is now available for download at:

http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/?C=M;O=D

It is also available from the usual download links found on the CMake web site:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Some of the notable changes in this release are:

improved Eclipse support
incremental improvements to the AUTOMOC feature added in the previous release
more cryptographic hash implementations (SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512)
file(...) and string(...) command additions for computing hash values
added LINK_PUBLIC and LINK_PRIVATE options to target_link_libraries command
new module: DeployQt4
and, as always, various minor bug fixes

Similar to the previous release, we do not have pre-built binaries for the SunOS anymore. However, now we have two sets of installers for the Mac. The "Darwin" versions are for Mac OSX 10.4 and later, and are "ppc;i386" universal binaries. The "Darwin64" versions are for 10.6 and later, and are "x86_64;i386" universal binaries.

There was a bit of a network connectivity snag in building the binaries for the AIX platform today... Because of this, the tarballs for AIX will not be available until sometime next week.

Following is the complete list of changes in this release. Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report any issues to the list or the bug tracker.

Thanks for using CMake! (and Happy New Year!)

-Dave
