I can help answer questions about what we do or how/why we do it. Some info: we're mostly a web development shop, and everything we do is 100% free and open source. Our flagship product is the Open Science Framework (http://osf.io http://osf.io, http://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/osf.io http://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/osf.io). We are also creating a free, open data set of scholarly (meta)data (http://www.share-research.org/; http://www.share-research.org/; http://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/SHARE http://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/SHARE). You might have seen us in the news recently for the Reproducibility Project: Psychology (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/349/6251/aac4716; http://www.sciencemag.org/content/349/6251/aac4716; http://osf.io/ezcuj http://osf.io/ezcuj). We're always looking for mission-driven developers. Feel free to get in touch.

Thanks Jeff and Lindsy. The "Reproducibility Project" is fascinating and should be very beneficial. In your (meta)data efforts are you working with DublinCore? http://dublincore.org/ http://dublincore.org/ Also, there are a few organizations out there specializing in archiving scientific work that might be worth checking out: http://omeka.org/ http://omeka.org/ https://perma.cc/ https://perma.cc/ http://wellcomelibrary.org/what-we-do/developing-and-caring-for-our-collections/collecting-genomic http://wellcomelibrary.org/what-we-do/developing-and-caring-... I'm sure there are others, but I don't have the links handy at the moment. BTW, you might want to note that the "about" link on COS is giving a 404 error at the moment: http://centerforopenscience.org/about.html http://centerforopenscience.org/about.html

  Thanks for posting. The DublinCore schema is quite widely used--many of the institutional repositories that we harvest from use it. I know of Omeka--I've seen it used quite a bit. We should look into some sort of add-on connection with it and the OSF. perma.cc is new to me, but our partnerships lead has been evaluating preservation services that we could enlist in archiving OSF content. I'll make sure to pass it along in case he hasn't seen it. We are going to great lengths to ensure our users that we care about long-term sustainability and that we see no value in lock-in. Collecting Genomics looks very neat; I'll have to reach out. And thanks for the note about the about link! I'll get a fix submitted tonight unless someone beats me to it.
