Hi!

Here are some things that could be included for the first part - super short intro to the historical dimension of OS. (next a paragraph on open cultures)

---snip---

  1. History

The commitment to opening Science to make it more transparent and accessible is nothing new. For some historians of science openness marks the beginning of science itself: with the printing press, the rise of publication markets and empirical methods in the early modern period came both the professionalization of scientists and the institutionalization of the Academies (David 2008).

Today's Open Science movement dates about 30-40 years back to the 1970s and takes inspiration both from the history of "open source" [Kelty 2008] and the ideas developed for research collaboration in the context of "e-science" [Wouters and Beaulieu 2006]. At a first glance these approaches refer mainly to the technological dimension of opening up science by creating necessary tools and infrastructures.

Opening up science often takes the form of a technological liberation and change of techniques in respective discourses. However, keeping in mind that science and technology "are politics by other means" [Latour 1987] - offering other means of power - it is vital to turn to the embedded politics of Open Science and its precursors.

This is excellent, thanks so much, @katjamatic! I'll begin editing it in here to the existing history section to make sure that we have covered all of this.

Fab, thank you @katjamatic! I love this image so much too. Can we re-use it and attribute you? Not sure what license this is under :)

Awesome, thanks @katjamatic! Have now added the above content here. You can also directly edit that file if you find it easier too :)

Beautiful and important additions - thanks!
What about we convene strategic calls/meetings on what we aspects of the growing MOOC we can also package as articles (OA, Open Peer Reviewed) to raise awareness, push visibility and be more inclusive for those who don't use or follow up on Github?
Maybe the MOOC should have it's own OA journal :P

Nice idea! So one thing I already have done is created a Zenodo community for archiving all MOOC content here: https://zenodo.org/communities/open-science-mooc/

For each release of each module, we push it to Zenodo and it gets a versioned DOI and indexed for re-use. Each 'Main' document is also available as a PDF/HTML/Jupyter notebook format, and I can convert them to over things like epub too if needed.

Is this the sort of thing you meant @johav? :)

Looks great, @katjamatic, thanks! Fills in a nice spot. No worries about the delays at all. If you can edit the text directly, that would be great, as it would ensure appropriate automatic credit for you. If not, I can wait for the refs and then edit this in after.
