Fedora change aims for 99% package reproducibility
Fedora change aims for 99% package reproducibility
The University for #HumanisticStudies/ UvH joins the NLRN as an institutional member!
At the NLRN, we want to make a range of epistemic voices heard in the discussion around #reproducibility and #replicability of #science and #scholarship. With their research portofolio focusing on #worldviews and humane societies, the UvH complements the voices of the other, more technical and generalistic institutions TU Delft, TU/e, RUG and escience Center.

Discussions about #OpenScience and #Reproducibility are better when a range of epistemic voices are heard.
Are you interested in openness and transparency for #qualitativeResearch methods? Then quickly sign-up for the first meeting of the European Open Qualitative #Research #Community!
Seeing this post too late (i.e. after 4th April?) - do not worry, reach out to Nicki Lisa Cole to be added to the mailing list

Recently, I got several opportunities to discuss the reproducibility crisis in science. To help discuss that complex topic, we need to agree on a vocabulary.
My favorite one has been published by Manuel López-Ibáñez, Juergen Branke and Luis Paquete, and is summarized in the attached diagram, which you can also find here: http://nojhan.net/tfd/vocabulary-of-reproducibility.html
It's good that this topic is not fading away, but is gaining traction. "Slowly, but surely", as we say in French.
If you want a high resolution suitable for impression, do not hesitate to ask!
On Master and still 100%

The #Maneage #reproducibility system for scientific research papers that starts from a minimal POSIX-like host OS does not yet build [1] the #GNUCLibrary = #GLibC . We have a draft implementation building glibc *after* #GCC [2]; and an alternative proposal arguing that building glibc *first* and gcc second would be more long-term sustainable [[1] comment18].
Should GLibC be built first? Why (or why not)?

Join us in #Utrecht
"#Reproducibility isn’t just about repeating results, it’s about making the research process transparent, so others can follow the path you took and understand how you got there."
We talked to Sarahanne Field, Assistant Professor at our university, and we are very much looking forward to this episode!

Published at #IRRJ: "On the challenges of studying bias in Recommender Systems: The effect of data characteristics and algorithm configuration" by Savvina Daniil, Manel Slokom, Mirjam Cuper, Cynthia Liem, Jacco van Ossenbruggen, and Laura Hollink. #RecSys #Bias #DataSynthesis #Reproducibility
Is a peer-reviewed #Maneage paper [1] (software + full results) reproducible from scratch?
Same author+machine; OS Debian stable updated 2021...2025.
Reproduction to final pdf by merge to current maneage 'software/' +minor hacks +disable a few verifications [2].
Result: final pdf has small but scientifically negligible diffs [3]; (due to python/numpy int or float changes?).

I claim that we could have automatically detected this backdoor in NixOS thanks to reproducible-builds!

"Reproducibility should be a key factor in all your research, in all your projects. It costs time, but it's also shifting the time, and in the end it can save time again."
We talked to Michiel de Boer of the @Dutch_Reproducibility_Network and we are very much looking forward to this episode. So stay tuned!

#Guix users and hackers how many of you use docker-compose and restic?
I'm planning what I would need to refresh in the next iteration of go-team update.
And give it a go and test more fresh packages right now available
I gave a presentation about my experience re-visiting my dissertation after 4 years at the last Open Science Community Eindhoven meet-up.
In the end, I was able to set up my dissertation to reproduce with 3 lines of code—after 4 years.
Better late than never.
Check out my follow-up blog post so that you won't repeat my regrets
An official PhD course in #ReproducibleResearchPapers will start next week [1]. Unofficial participation is welcome in the #ManeageCommunity room [2] (curated homeservers [3]), where much of the practical sessions will take place (days/times TBD). The focus is on #ReproducibleAstronomy, but #Maneage is (in principle) usable in any field of science.
