Time for an #introduction! #OpenByDefault is a company helping other to become more open. If you need help with anything around #OpenData, #OpenSource, #OpenKnowledge, #OpenScience, #OpenAccess, #OpenStandards or #FreeLicenses in general, we can help.
All from guiding about policies for your organization to methods for working with these in practice or training or inspirational talks.
Zweiter Tag der #KNOER-Tagung in Berlin – mit Blick auf die Synergien von #OpenEducation & #OpenScience. 
Vor der Vertretung des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz wurde heute nicht nur das Netz gestärkt, sondern auch der Dialog zu gemeinsamen Perspektiven. Offen, engagiert, vernetzt – so geht es weiter!
Opening of the #OpenScience Barcamp 2025 by Nina from #Wikipedia on current threats on #OpenKnowledge in the freshly renovated offices of Wikimedia. Große Vorfreunde!

Interesting coincidence: I’m listening to an episode of „Sockenpuppenzoo – Angriff auf Wikipedia“ (SWR podcast) on my way to #osibar2025 hosted at Wilkimedia in Berlin. I recommend the #podcast and look forward to meeting everyone! https://www.swr.de/swrkultur/doku-und-feature/podcast-sockenpuppenzoo-100.html #OpenScience #OpenKnowledge

"This survey aims to gather perspectives on achieving truly equitable global open access as outlined in the OASPA ‘Next 50%’ project primer available via the Zenodo repository: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15463314.
Your responses will inform discussions about reassessing what "open" truly means and on creating a more inclusive knowledge ecosystem. This will support a more holistic transition to open access."

Vandaag werd mijn projectje "Bestemming Nerdland" vermeld in de nieuwste aflevering van de @nerdlandbe podcast (
@jbaert en de andere podcasters)
Ik maakte een interactieve wereldkaart waarmee je "nerdy bestemmingen" kan ontdekken, telkens met het bijbehorende fragment uit de podcast. Het project steunt op #opensource en #openknowledge, met dank aan o.a. @maplibre @openstreetmap en @wikidata

@nimi @papuass @stefan @freediverx yeah except you can't force bad actors to use your commercial API if they still have an open route in, that basically cost them next to nothing. It really doesn't matter #scraping isn't elegant. It works, it's cheap. It's basically an arms race that #opensource #openknowledge were never designed to wage. My only hope is that the #cyberpunk spirit will reorganise itself along those faultlines and fight the good fight.
@stefan @freediverx thanks! I was about to ask whether someone had digested the Responsible Use page and it seems you've just done that
. It's great if they are able to trigger the various tiers based on volume, rather than default it to "identify now", which would in effect be a massive obstacle to #openknowledge
Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.
