Our repository developer, Ian, has been building our new stats dashboard for @kcommons.bsky.social. It's looking great! And should be upstreamed to InvenioRDM.

In case you missed it: last week’s open access discussions were packed with key insights!
- Knowledge belongs to the community
- Nonprofit infrastructure is key
- Collaboration drives the future
Big ideas, big takeaways, and plenty of inspiration for making knowledge open and accessible to everyone.

ICYMI I shared a project scoping exercise that I ran with our Praxis students. Take a neutral topic, develop a project idea on it, and then push/pull that thing in all sorts of directions to see the different shapes that come out.
I wrote up the exercise I ran with Praxis this week where students practice taking an idea and scoping it every which way to see all the different shapes that can emerge. "Up, Down, Lateral Project Scoping"

Looking forward to #ReclaimOpen25! In addition to a zine design project for the blogathon, I'm hosting the game Brand Actualization on the last day. We'll be selling the open web to eldritch gods, so anyone in attendance who's looking to blow off steam (or just curious), let me know!

Spent last night playing with UV resin and different materials. Yarn was weirder than I expected. Embroidery practice bits turned out kinda cool. Cut up machine embroidery on dissolved interfacing was really neat. And the button mold worked great! #DHmakes

There is a reason why all my letterpress tutorial zines contain multiple photos of my dog and it is that she is a very good dog
31-page "accessing or buying your first press" #zine draft is done now, too! Again, focus=letterpress accessibility (physically using the press, cost, etc.). Ideas for finding local free/low-cost press access; DIY, used, new options from free to ~$3k (for groups/schools/libraries w/some grant $)
