Research/Practicioner collaboration idea for @OpenForumEurope folks at #OpenForumAcademy:
Are there any simple ways we can create schemas/data for either personal affiliation affirmations (i.e. I am [email protected], etc.) or #OpenSource project-based data (like Foundation they're at, rough governance structure, community processes)?
Because I'd like to see these kinds of distinctions included in the great research on our communities.

Naive idea: could we just specify a quick /.well-known/webfinger protocol that could provide good enough identity tie-together that people could self-assert?

GET /.well-known/webfinge?resource=email%3Aasf%40shanecurcuru.org

GET /.well-known/webfinge?resource=email%3Ashane%40punderthings.com

Might each return my name, Shane Curcuru, because I assert they are both my email addresses.

#Attestations news: PyPi now has a superautomated Trusted Publishers system, where each release artifact is securely tied to a machine identity that the artifact was created by. This includes some level of tie to the user as well, although it doesn't seem to necessarily cover organization/hosting foundation/project ownership. #Python #Identity

Timing is everything: new paper on recommendations around sharing data related to research #papers, with some useful taxonomies along with the usual "we should share the data".

But it doesn't really cover enough - doesn't explicitly mention source code! Without the tools to maniupulate that data, you're still not making your research reproduceable.
