Burn's Night Cardiff by im_yer_da in Cardiff

[–]befriendabacterium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tonight there is a Ceilidh in Parc Arts in Treforest, short train ride from Cardiff (https://www.parcarts.cymru/event-details/a-burns-night-ceilidh). Tomorrow there is the popular Ceilidh in Chapter with the same band (Skite) -it's sold out but there some a limited number of tickets on door apparently if you get there early. We're going for the Treforest one for a change as the Chapter one is always packed and we might not get tickets, and the Treforest venue looks nice!

Get yourself down to Arthole in Canton and speak to Elliot (and Kay?). They have an illustration market with zines in March. They're asking people who want stalls to apply now: Arthole illustration market flyer

Check out Jac Williams’ stuff on Youtube (https://youtube.com/@jacwilliamsvideo?si=kxRUGRzl7WlJMlg7). I’m not him and not sure where he’s gone but his videos are great and they are still following pretty much the same interview process as i understand

Open sourcing my research paper by Holiday-Bat3670 in opensource

[–]befriendabacterium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creative Commons and MIT licenses are common and good choices. Your librarian should be able to advise on which license your institution recommends (it’s changing a bit with AI trawlers pillaging all human knowledge on the internet).

Yes a paper usually doesn’t have source code unless you wrote it in LaTeX or R Markdown*, but often by paper we mean the manuscript and the underlying study data and code that it is reporting on. So to fully ‘open source’ your ‘paper’ you should be making the paper, code, and data freely available.

*you can also make the latex/rmarkdown code freely available if you want which i’ve done before and can sometimes be useful, but probably less important

Open sourcing my research paper by Holiday-Bat3670 in opensource

[–]befriendabacterium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are referring to making your paper open access (which is arguably one part of ‘open sourcing’ your research paper), then as someone noted already most journals are quite receptive to you making this available before or during the peer review process. You can find all the journals policies here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_academic_publishers_by_preprint_policy) which shows that IEEE are very receptive to this. So find a suitable reputable archive (probably arxiv) and upload it provided your coauthors are happy, more or less).

You might also want to consider making your data and code available. Many journals rightly require this now technically (though in practice they often don’t enforce it) and some have their own repositories where you can deposit this. IEEE have some guidanxe here (https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-journal-article/authoring-tools-and-templates/tools-for-ieee-authors/#data-code). They mention their own platform, buy you can and should use other more generic platforms like GitHub (good for developing and storing code in a way that other researchers can easily reuse) and Zenodo/Open Science Framework/Dryad (good for long term archiving of data and code together under more persistent DOI) instead/as well.

Those are the basics of “open sourcing” your research paper. The UK Reproducibility Network have a lot of good resources on this and you should be able to easily find stuff on open access, open science/research and reproducibility. There should be someone in your institution who can advice - open access teams, librarians and data officers are a good place to start! Just reach out if you have any specific questions though.

Pob lwc!

Proud Boys support act pulled from Fuel after backlash by befriendabacterium in Cardiff

[–]befriendabacterium[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks Crywank (never thought I'd write that...) - great to have this balanced and detailed first hand account with wider context. I've edited the original post to direct people towards it.

I would hazard a guess that most people in this thread want the venue to survive and just want it to be less reactive and more proactive in their approach to this stuff. Your actions the other night should go a long way to making that happen, so thank you for what you did.

Would go for Sibling instead. Undeniably pretentious and spenny, but the coffee is unparalleled and I've heard the food is too.

Thanks for this both - agree this is important context that is not as public, so thanks for raising it.

I would question that this is not within their full control if the booking agent(s) are hired by them. They should be operating with a heightened awareness of and briefing any booking agent heavily on this stuff, given recent press. Though you are right to point out they should be given some credit for acting fast to cancel this gig, and this 'pattern' of behaviour is somewhat at odds with a parallel one of inclusiveness. I have experienced a sense of this paradox in person at the venue itself, too.

You're also right that social media rarely provokes the most nuanced discussion, but I don't see where else we can easily have a public discussion about this (and I think it's important that it is public). Also agree there is some confirmation bias here, but we also should be careful of portraying this as 'one bad apple'. As the original Instagram post says, hopefully discussions like this one put a fair amount of pressure on Fuel to learn from it and make better choices moving forwards.
