That’s me @brianglanz, welcoming everyone.

Given the summer timing, I had lined up several cohosts for the event, and I had stressed that no technical or science background was required to attend. Each host brought some of their own — there were civic hackers from Code for Seattle, scientists and science communicators from ScienceOnlineSeattle, and hacktivists of all sorts from local enthusiasts of the Open Science Federation and Open Knowledge Foundation’s Seattle meetup.

Seattle meets HackYourPhD

The night’s main speaker was Célya Gruson-Daniel, co-founder of HackYourPhD who also provided the refreshments. After I opened the event, Célya introduced Open Science, HackYourPhD, and HackYourPhD aux States, the project which brought her to Seattle. She is based in Paris and has been touring the US, producing a web documentary of the American Open Science community — track her progress at http://hackyourphd.org/USA.

UPDATE: Célya has storified her week in Seattle, where she interviewed researchers, funders, hackers, journalists, startups… even me! Check it out, and do listen to some of the interviews. The hack night was at the end of the week.

We kept public notes in the OKFNpad with which we had planned the night, at http://okfnpad.org/2013august7seattle. Projects included:

• Adding more science to SeattleWiki
• Translating Open Access research papers into http://sciencegist.com summaries or hacking ScienceGist code
• A Wikipedia editathon, such as to improve articles about women scientists
• Reviewing Open Knowledge Foundation’s http://datajournalismhandbook.org
• Learning about Seattle’s community lab and biohacker space, HiveBio
• hacking a WordPress theme made for Open Science, to be used in open notebooks and networks such as http://onsnetwork.org

This local event was also made possible with the support of our parent organizations, Code for America, the Open Knowledge Foundation, and ScienceOnline. Thank you!

I started open notes for the event at http://okfnpad.org/20130606sf. Below the following Meetup.com embed, I have published select tweets, photos, and other reports from #okfSF and other media. You can also check out our recap of the #okfSF meetup from March 2013.

MT @billymeinke Mackenzie Smith: ~900 faculty at #MIT. The #UC system has ~20k. Any change with #oa here will make a big difference. #okfSF

People lingered long into the evening @PLOS. They and I both inadvertently left the Google+ Hangout running, and sometime after 10pm:

Some really interesting talks at #okfSF tonight! So excited to be interning at @plos for the next few months! #OpenAccess
