Work stuff - #OpenScience #FAIRdata #FoodSci #Foodindustry #FoodTech #fediverse - Discussion on tools etc.

So, I recently applied and was accepted to a COST action (CA24145 link https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA24145/ ). The goal is to standardize methodologies for technofunctional properties of food - so does it foam, how does it foam etc, solubility, emulsion, etc.. This is riveting stuff for food engineers and scientists, I tell you. And if we have shared methods, we could also share results and replicate stuff.

My question to whom it might interest is how would you set up communication to the group? Do you have an example? I'm pretty sure there should be better ways of keeping tabs on peoples discussions and versions of common files than a shared folder somewhere and emails with a lot of cc:s updated manually.

One example that comes to my mind would be ImageJ and it's respective forum at Image.sc - I think that is a nice way of doing it, but I'm sure there are others.

I'm also having a gut feeling or wish that federation as in the fediverse might help - the end goal is not get just one (choke) point on the topic but facilitate collective building, between unis, rtos, companies, researchers, industry, smes etc.

So, looking forward to hearing from you - please share and boost for reach!
