Blogpost for GenR and FORCE11

Simon Worthington edited this page Jun 20, 2020 · 29 revisions

I would like to put out one or more blogposts about openVirus. The first with the angle of innovating Open Science systems in relationship to COVID-19. This is for GenR a blog I edit and we are running a theme along these lines, the blogpost can also be posted on FORCE11 as there is an invitation to do this. See GenR theme call: https://genr.eu/wp/covid-19-and-innovating-open-science-systems/

The idea is that this a post open to all on openVirus.

I need to do this first one quite quickly as there are two online conferences next week. So want to publish Tuesday 23 before 10am CEST.

But we can do more, and of different lengths.

What needs to be done?

  • Collect ideas for blog post
  • Write blog post - word length of 800 words is good
  • Review blog post
  • Publish
