- Open Science Summit 2010 transcripts were being actively transcribed and posted in near-real-time at http://gnusha.org/transcripts/open-science-summit-2010/, covering sessions on DIYbio, the Health Impact Fund, Knowledge Ecology International, the Myelin Repair Foundation, Pink Army Cooperative, and an innovation-paradigm Q&A.

- Jason Bobe circulated a private email proposing that DIYbio draft a letter to the U.S. President’s Bioethics Commission; the secrecy of the meeting was criticized and a full transcript was released at http://gnusha.org/transcripts/open-science-summit-2010/diybio-bioethics-commission.html.

- Key policy and licensing concepts discussed included the “equitable access license,” patent pools (citing SARS, Golden Rice, and GKR as examples), community patent review via http://www.peertopatent.org/, and the advocacy site http://wherearethecures.org/.

- Andrew Hessel presented the Pink Army Cooperative’s open-source approach to individualized cancer therapeutics; Scott Johnson described the Myelin Repair Foundation’s accelerated, collaborative model for nervous-system-drug development.

- Aiden Hollis outlined the Health Impact Fund as a pay-for-performance mechanism to incentivize R&D for neglected diseases, while Jamie Love detailed Knowledge Ecology International’s work on global access to medicines and knowledge.

- Meredith Patterson’s DIYbio quip—“These are all Legos and the glue is getting easier and easier”—was highlighted as emblematic of the rapidly falling barriers to entry in biological engineering.

- Twitter coverage of the summit was archived at http://opensciencefoundation.com/oss2010/, and external recaps appeared on Singularity Hub and phylogenomics.blogspot.com.

- Side discussions touched on cognitive-enhancement research (a request for the Bacopa monniera chronic-effects paper), grant-funding urgency for open-science projects, and the practicalities of migrating a Linux installation to new laptop hardware.
