4. Meetings/hackathons/workshops

Need for an "events" page to let people know about open-sciencey events (especially in the region). OA week usually good showing events then, but need something for the rest of the year. There is already a very N American focused one, but they can give people here editing rights (any volunteers?): https://twitter.com/MozillaScience/status/595995007229693952 


5. AOB?

Request from Jeroen Bosman we take a look & discuss their work cataloguing the >475 tools and workflows an open researcher can use. See http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1286826 and add info here http://bit.ly/innoscholcomm-list.

 6. Next call(s). Any volunteers? (None during the meeting, but feel free to add your details here or email)
