Bonfire co-design workshop: shaping an online research space at Warwick

What would online spaces look like if the people using them designed them? And what can we learn by researching it together as we go?

Join us on Wednesday 14 October, 3 to 5 pm, in REX 1 & 2 (Wolfson Exchange, Library) for an introduction to the fediverse and Bonfire, followed by a hands-on workshop to shape Warwick's space, study how co-design works while we do it, and help create better community spaces for everyone. No technical background needed.

The workshop will be facilitated by @mayel@bonfire.warwick.ac.uk from
@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe

Very excited to officially kickstart our @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe server at Warwick and to be able to codesign it with fellow researchers!

Hey @ccamara I can't reply directly to that post (because of a bug that's now fixed), but basically yeah recommended profiles is intended for recommended people to follow. For groups what you can do instead is pin them in the sidebar for all users.

@twm I believe this might be by design ( @mayel may correct me if I'm wrong). At this stage, signups are by invitation only, and IMHO, it makes sense that it is not possible to create an account simply by using ORCID's API.

I'm not so sure what to expect if the signup was open, though. Creating an account with your orcid number instead of using your email may be interesting, but I do not know if having an email would be better if you want to receive notifications (by the way, I don't receive any, which makes me wonder if we have the configured well the smpt server or bonfire is very respectful in that matter -I would not be surprised about this) or reset password.

What is really cool, though, is that you can definitely sign in with orcid, and how it populates some data into your profile.

@ccamara @twm ah that was a bug, thanks for the heads up! It should have asked you to enter your email address as a second step, mostly as a safety measure so you can always recover your account and set a password without depending on ORCID.

Co-designing this space

A space to share feedback and suggestions about how we'd like this digital space to be. What it is now possible and is working well, what we'd like to improve, or fix and what we'd like to have. A space for dreaming and sharing.

Welcome to CIM's #bonfire instance! We are currently using the #openscience openscience.network/ flavour, which has some features that are relevant to #academics. Feel free to test it and share your thoughts here!

Open Science Network

Reclaim scientific discourse with federated digital spaces where researchers shape their own conversations, data, and collaborations
