Hi Fernando,

That is such a big encouragement to all of us. As a research assistant
from Turkey, I was quite depressed from how things are working in the
academy, e.g. papers, citations, lead authors, attributions, no code,
no replication, etc. But I read your blog post and got some pointers
from that and read a lot of other stuff and now I know that I am not
alone (at least throughout the world)

But, I am quite alone in Turkey in these terms, so I just bought a
domain acikbilim.net (which means openscience.net) to spread news
about reproducible science, sharing codes, making people aware of the
open science tools, Python ecosystem, etc. I'd like to translate blog
posts and articles about the subject to Turkish and publish through
there.

This community will change/is changing the world and you just
motivated me to do this in a Turkey.

Many thanks.
