<div dir="ltr">Dear All,<br><div><br>I would like to draw your attention to 2 great sessions focussing on FOSS at the 2013 AGU Fall Meeting, that will be held 9-13 December 2013 in San Francisco [1]. See the details below. <br>
<br>*** Important (hard) deadline ***<br>Abstract Submission: August 06 2013<br>-----------------------------------------<br>Abstracts can be submitted on-line:<br><a href="http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/">http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/</a><br>
-----------------------------------------<br><br>- IN016. Enabling Science Through Reuse of Data and Free and Open Source Software [2]<br>Conveners: Jens Klump, Chris Mattmann, Robert Downs, Peter Loewe<br><br>Description:<br>
Presenters will describe concepts and best practices for contributing and adopting open source software to improve science and enable the sharing and reuse of scientific data. Topics include the growing role of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in science, infrastructure and software evolution, successful applications, community models, licensing, enabling interoperability, and concepts and best practices for providing and communicating scientific software through code repositories and publications.<br>
<br>-----------------------------------------<br><br>- H062. Open-Source Programming, Scripting, and Tools for the Hydrological Sciences [3]<br>Conveners: Christian Langevin, Alberto Viglione, Attilio Castellarin, Mark Bakker<br>
<br>Description:<br>Development and use of open-source software is rapidly advancing for both surface and subsurface hydrological investigations. In addition, scripting in powerful programming languages such as Python and R has become an important tool for many hydrologists, because it facilitates modeling, visualization, and data analysis in an efficient and reproducible manner. This session calls for a gathering of developers and users of open-source software in all fields of hydrology to discuss recent developments, innovative applications of scripting languages and tools such as Python and R, applications of open-source software for teaching, and strategies for fostering continued open-source development in hydrology.<br>
<br>Invited speakers:<br>• Chris Kees "Making it Easy to Construct Accurate Hydrological Models that Exploit High Performance Computers"<br>• Jayantha Obeysekera "Using R for Hydrologic Investigations of Climate Change"<br>
• Fernando Perez "iPython: Components for Interactive and Parallel Computing Across Disciplines"<br>• Jarno Verkaik "Python Processing and Version Control using VisTrails for the Netherlands Hydrological Instrument"<br>
