Summary: The above LibrePlanet talk by Weiming Hu is a remote (not physical presence) talk and it was uploaded by the FSF last week (slides here; PeerTube link); From the official page: '"Open science" is a movement that promotes the freedom to share knowledge and data in science. Its recent success largely depends on our ability to reproduce and then improve on existing research products. It is about ensuring that researchers have sufficient access to information and the necessary tools for analysis. This movement goes hand in hand with the free software movement, as it has the potential to revolutionize sciences by providing powerful tools for data analysis, modeling, and visualization. I would like to focus my talk on the connection and missing links between free software and open science, particularly in environmental and data sciences. The talk is devoted to raising awareness and promoting conversations on how we can better advance sciences with free software and knowledge sharing.'
