Good news coming from @knawhuc.bsky.social, @operaseu.bsky.social and @oapenbooks.bsky.social today with the launch of OPERAS-NL!

They are collaborating to establish the Dutch National Node, with the aim to improve open scholarly communication in the SSH in the Netherlands.

I think I just came across the title of our upcoming, yet to write, article @joedeville.bsky.social @graham-stone.bsky.social @sofiewennstrom.bsky.social What do you reckon? 🤗

Just got home from the Netherlands #OpenScience Festival at the @rug.nl medical center. It was a wonderful edition, with more people attending than ever. So many are working on such great things. It’s really inspiring! #NOSF2025

But hey, who doesn’t want a sign like this in the garden?

Hearing the @oaspa.bsky.social outlook and forward thinking of what the next step would be for open scholarly publishing and working in participatory openness I suggest a name change: Open Science Scholarly Publishing Association 😉 #OASPA2025

Engaging and inspiring poster pitch by ACM about their upcoming move towards a 100% flip of their entire portfolio (ACM Open). Main take away: give yourself a public deadline. You will make sure you’ll stick to it. #OASPA2025 @oaspa.bsky.social

I like this: “mandates are not just rules, they are opportunities for equity in open access”, in the @oaspa.bsky.social poster presentation of Vrushali Dandawate from @doaj.bsky.social #OASPA2025

An interesting @oaspa.bsky.social ‘can do’ panel (@juancommander.scholcommlab.ca @theblochian.bsky.social Kate McCready and Lauren Kane) discussing great examples of non-profit initiatives that are focused on community-led approaches, innovative models and considering built-in scaling. #OASPA2025

I'm very pleased to announce that @cwts.nl and Dialogic will develop an Open Science monitoring framework and prototype dashboard for the Netherlands in the coming 2 years.

@opensciencenl.bsky.social has selected the consortium through a European tender (outlined OSNL 2024–2025 work programme).

I gave a brief talk about #openscience and knowledge security the other day.

We shouldn't, and in fact, we don't need to view them as opposites. They have the potential to complement 1 another. Especially in these current times where open knowledge/infra is threatened.

*kuch*

‘Open Source’ wassen is ook een vak…

en nog een app waar al je data in verdwijnt zonder enige controle is ook een heerlijke toevoeging aan de wereld. #sarcasmoff

As of today the national website on #openaccess is completely renewed and it now comes with an awesome new feature: the DiamondOA expertise centre. A result of the national project run by universities and their libraries. www.openaccess.nl/en/diamond-o...

Ondertussen wordt de oppositie eensgezinder en lijkt er nu toch echt een serieus machtsblok te ontstaan tegen deze bezuinigingen. Alle hoop gevestigd op donderdag. www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/ook...

So, after several months of inactivity, I now left X permanently. It’s enough.

The huge influx here is very nice to see. Flashbacks to 2010-2015 when Twitter went really off.

From 21-27 October 2024, it's International Open Access Week. The theme: 'Community over Commercialization.' I share insights on diamond open access, featuring an online portfolio with expert contributions. Discover the (Dutch) developments: www.openscience.nl/en/cases/tow... #OAWeek #OpenAccess

The Dutch government just released its final programme.

Very disappointed by the news that the government,after decades of active support, will cut back on #openscience by lowering the budget of the national programme Open Science NL.

More next week after publication of the actual figures.
