NSF POSE Grant (was:Are we an "ecosystem"?)

The overarching vision of POSE is that proactive and intentional formation of managing organizations will ensure a broader and more diverse adoption of open-source products; increased coordination of external intellectual content developer contributions; and a more focused route to technologies with broad societal impact. Toward this end, the POSE program supports the formation of new OSE managing organizations based on an existing open-source product or class of products, whereby each organization is responsible for the creation and management of processes and infrastructure needed for the efficient and secure development and maintenance of an OSE.

I mean, the above seems pretty GOATy to me in terms of where we are organizationally.

The NSFā€™s POSE grant mentioned by @kylebirchard here is especially designed for building communities of open source solutions - kinda cool in that it funds not so much products, and not so much already-funded communities, but emerging/forming communities like, I dunno, GOAT. Does it interfere with somebody like OpenTEAM? Would it help OpenTEAM to include more folks struggling to fund open source ag tech tools?

Are you interested in talking about collaboratively pulling a proposal together to support the GOAT community/integrate GOAT into other existing communities (yes, community interoperability what do you say?), or do you know someone who is? @kylebirchard @sudokita @julietnpn @sezuco @AmberS @mstenta @jgaehring @paul121 @gbathree @JeffPiestrak @tibetsprague @clarepolitano ??

Hereā€™s some info about a zoom on it happening Friday which you might have seen if you are part of the Collaborative Technology Alliance:
National Science Fed open source grant ($2.8m)
Created by: Sam Rossiter
David Witzel is exploring if & how to convene a group to respond to this RFP with a proposal that will strengthen regenerative infrastructure. e.g., open source software to support regenerative agriculture, open data to support landscape regeneration, open design to support seaweed production, or do you have a better idea?

This session is intended to:

  1. socialize the grant and opportunity
  2. discuss if/how open source is ā€œregenerativeā€
  3. brainstorm how, what, and who might respond to such a grant.

Attend if you are interested in:
have an open source asset youā€™d like to have a stronger support ecosystem
learning more about the program,
regeneration & open source,
possibly contributing to development of a proposal,
being part of an open source ecosystem,

Agenda will include introductions, brief overview presentation of the grant program, and conversation/brainstorming. Hosted by David Witzel (email: dwitzel@grc.earth) & GRC but open to all - please forward to other interested folks.

Thanks for the heads up on this gathering @laurieWayne, and the grant @kylebirchard! Iā€™m definitely interested, but started a new ag services business and limited in the time I can devote. Iā€™m also unable to attend Fridayā€™s meeting.

I would be willing to try and set aside some time for proposal development if there was a connection to my current focus on temperate agroforestry. And if there was strong support from an established organization (e.g., OpenTEAM, Purdue, or Our Sci).

Iā€™m part of a SARE funded agroforestry project focused in part on cultivating farmer knowledge networks, which might be leveraged as part of an NSF proposalā€¦

I also participated in a ā€œscientific community engagementā€ training last year which has been adopted for use by POSE awardees. That might provide us with additional traction (or at least insight).

I think this could mesh really well with some of the things @samuejao and I discussed last week, as he mentioned in his last comment:

This was all apropos of the broader GOAT-y coop discussion, though the relevant bits donā€™t need to take the form of a coop (ie, could be done as a non-profit or other entity). I wonā€™t get into details now, but just to leave yā€™all in a state of agonized curiosity, we came up with a provisional name: The GOAT Trough :tm:

And I wasnā€™t sure if goats ever actually eat from a trough or not, but a quick image search confirms the plan is legit:

Two goats in a pen eating from a metal feeder trough

Oh, and is there a link we must/can register for the Zoom event this Friday?

I just opened that Zoom ID to get the invitation and added that to the GOAT Community Calendar, in case anyone else wants to keep it on their radar. Link to calendar event below:

Wow, this looks really great @laurieWayne. I am traveling Friday but I think I might be able to slip into this session!

It seems like the kind of thing that would be recorded - as far as I can tell, preregistration is not required. Thank you @jgaehring for adding it to the Calendar! I think/hope this upcoming meeting helps focus the possibilities of the grant a bit, and helps us understand what might be possible.

Hereā€™s the latest agenda for tomorrowā€™s session featuring 4 presentations by groups interested in developing proposals for the NSF POSE grant. The session is Friday at noon ET / 9am PT on this zoom.

The NSF is offering the 2nd round of grants to support design & development of ā€œopen source ecosystems" to "to harness the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of national and societal importance.ā€

This is the 2nd session to provide community-building support for future ecosystem-building efforts. This session will introduce some projects considering submitting proposals to NSF.

Presenters are:

Each presentation will be 7 minutes. Weā€™ll do all the presentations and then have Q&A / discussion.

Please forward this invite to other interested folks.

Thank you @dwitzel! I wonā€™t be able to make it today but would love to see he recording (if you would be so kind as to record). The last get together was really valuable and I am looking forward to seeing how these brilliant minds converge around building community and ecosystems in our open source world!

Iā€™d like to propose that we spend part of our next community call (May 17) to map out components of this proposal. Specifically, Iā€™d like to facilitate a 30ish mins grant-storming session! (or longer if we have time.

This includes the concept of identifying core ā€œfunctionsā€ we want from neutral spaces like GOAT as well as community organizing methods discussion in the coops chats in the past (with @samuejao @3wordchant @julietnpn @jgaehring @laurieWayne @GOATforMikeD @gbathree @mstenta and many others that I may have missed) in the past. Once we have an agenda thread, Iā€™ll put in more detail there if that works for all. Iā€™ll also reach out to folks at a few other networks (openteam, oats, etc.) that are in working in this space already.

Iā€™ve also invited @dwitzel to bring their group as well since Iā€™ve attended their discussions so far. Also pinging @tibetsprague and others that were in attendance that I may have missed (I know Laurie and Jamie were there too!)

Iā€™ll share my draft document once Iā€™ve redone it for group discussion too.

Sumer seems pretty keen to do interop stuff:

I see Openteam are already associate members of Agstack

From a personal perspective Iā€™d be particularly keen on FarmOS > Open Food network interop. Push the ā€˜sell this cropā€™ button on @FarmOS and have it appear in my OFN store.

I started a little mapping exercise from my own perspective showing some of the connections I know about between these projects. Itā€™s probably inaccurate. Please feel free to edit it.

Love that @sam_uk - and equally/more important is the chance to bring information about growing practices, inputs, and even carbon sequestration right from farmOS into the shopfront so customers can make purchasing decisions that are in line with their values and farmers can get credit for their regenerative work!

Just FYI re. farmos > ofn connection ā€“

We met with Garethe and are working to identify how to present a list of products (and maintain their inventory accurately) to external parties specifically like OFN who are managing sales.

This is a priority for the farms weā€™re working with, so if thereā€™s interest on your end itā€™d be great in a few months to reconnect on this so you can see what FarmOSā€™s APIā€™s kicking out re. products and inventory and what other elements may be missing to get to that goal.
