Hi, I leave these with the software group for consideration. Deadline 4pm UTC today thanks.
From Giorgio Rossi
Again all software produced with public support should be open source and accessible, not only what is produced under grants
Proposals could adopt rules (like ISO 25000 and 27000) to use the software products (interoperable and serviced) to make it really transferable. E.g. software should be made available through consolidated practices like github, gitlab in order to favor research efforts vs. management plans.
The document lack of guidelines for code development of software to be made eventually open.
Collaborative software should be mentioned and encouraged.
No recommendation nor encouragement are made to use open source libraries or frameworks to develop research data analysis. No mention of Open Source Initiative or to Free Software Foundation that actually support the production of free software and provide good practices.
The GDPR issue is also central. An open debate on its interpretation leading to guidelines for its correct use and related good practices to avoid that: a) data are not shared fearing to violate GDPR, b) data are retained by the source claiming GDPR restrictions even when these do not actually apply.
