Getting the academy to support free software and open science
Scott Dexter and Evan Misshula, CUNY, and Erin Glass, UCSD
Academic institutions and their researchers are some of the biggest beneficiaries of free software development. While individual researchers have contributed greatly to free software, they usually do so outside of the scope of their regular jobs and to the detriment of their academic careers. At CUNY, we have taken steps to change this unacceptable situation. This session includes the exchange of ideas and strategies for having contributions to free software valued by the University.
