 * Publishing Open Data Working Group
 * I can give a brief report from the Publishing Open Data Working Group meeting on 17th June 2011 (http://blogs.openaccesscentral.com/blogs/bmcblog/entry/dear_scientist_help_us_to). It will be posted on the BioMed Central Blog in a few days time. Alex Ball at the DCC has already posted his thoughts http://www.dcc.ac.uk/news/publishing-open-data-working-group

 * Biosharing
 * Background in http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-science/2011-August/000924.html
 * Susanna introduced Biosharing, a community forum and catalogue of bio data standards.
 * BMC Research Notes is in collaboration with Biosharing in terms of linking to it in author instructions. Also publishing exemplar datasets  with fees waived (involves some working group members). Aiming to  encourage data sharing in the most useful way.


 * Details of the BMC-BioSharing partnership are here:
 * http://blogs.openaccesscentral.com/blogs/bmcblog/entry/bmc_research_notes_and_biosharing
 * The BMC Research Notes article collection, edited by Dr Bill Hooker, Dr Heather Piwowar and Dr David Shotton, is here: http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcresnotes/series/datasharing
 * More suggestions of standards for the catalogue and groups interested in publishing datasets in BMC Research Notes are encouraged.


 * Open Science/Open Data at Science Conferences (that don't have the word 'open' in the title!)
 * Some discussion of taking open science to general science conferences or conferences for specific fields (as opposed to conferences with a  theme of  open-ness). How can we reach the 'unconverted' who resist open  access/data/etc.?
 * Iain to request proposals that have been submitted to science conferences involving open data
