ORCID, a researcher identifier solution which enables a wide range of improvements to the scholarly communications ecosystem, has announced that the next Outreach Meeting and Codefest will take place on November 3-4 at the San Francisco headquarters of GitHub. The theme of the meeting is Research Information Innovation: Entrepreneurs and ORCID. The keynote speakers will be Kaitlin Thaney, Director of the Mozilla Science Lab and Geoffrey Bilder, Director of Strategic Initiatives at CrossRef.
The program will include updates on ORCID and a preview of our 2016 roadmap; interactive sessions on collecting and storing research and researcher data, identifiers and identity management and contributor recognition; and opportunities to meet with the ORCID technical and support teams and work with them directly on your implementation of the ORCID API.
Suggestions and applications are invited for lightning demos showcasing research infrastructure products and services that leverage ORCID and other persistent identifiers. Interested parties may submit their ideas by September 30.
The meeting, and the concurrent ORCID Codefest, will run from 9.00am on November 3 through 3.00pm on November 4. There will be plenty of opportunities for networking, including a cocktail reception after sessions end on November 3.
