Thoth Open Metadata @[email protected] · 2026-02-25 · 11:37 UTC

Really excited to share that we’ve published Thoth Open Metadata’s self-assessment against the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI). 🎉

For us, this is more than a compliance exercise. It’s an open reflection on how we believe open metadata for books should be governed, sustained, and shared - with community oversight, open-source code, and CC0 data and open APIs at its core. As open access policies evolve, infrastructure transparency matters for publishers, librarians, and policymakers alike. 📚 #MetadataMatters

This work connects directly to the next phase of Thoth’s development - and we’ll be continuing the conversation at the Copim community's #CopimConference tomorrow and on Friday, where we’ll be discussing the future of #communityled #OAbooks and the infrastructure they depend on together with like-minded #openinfras, #libraries, #publishers, and #researchers.

There's no #OpenAccess without #OpenInfrastructure!

Transition Together @[email protected] · 2024-11-12 · 13:22 UTC

We are *super* excited for this event
on Friday, teaming up with Cooperative Alternatives and Positive Carrickfergus to share and explore the glimpses of a better, thriving, resilient future already emerging across community projects in Northern Ireland.

It's not too late to join us for The Future's Already Here: Communities Stepping into their power, a lively one-day event in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, to connect, inspire and make visible the change that's happening.

Hear projects reinventing food systems, land and energy, showing the power of collective action, and our awesome keynote Anne Ryan, author of Enough is Plenty and an advocate of the care economy.

Find the programme and link to book here: https://events.transitionmovement.org/transition-together/futureshere/ . and if it's too far to travel, we'll be sharing some of the highlights next week.

I've volunteered at past work parties at #WellandCommunityOrchard in the past.

This Sunday, I'm taking Mom there for a Summer trees pruning workshop. It's free for seniors & disabled folks to attend 🙂

Gather, harvest, and learn at one of the largest and most diverse #CommunityOrchards in #Canada. Once the backyard of local #conservationist Rex Welland, the #orchard is home to nearly 200 #FruitTrees and vines, including many rare varieties of apple, pear, plum, fig, grape, hazelnut, kiwi, paw paw, and more.
It was Rex’s vision to have his land loved, used, and #stewarded by the public, and since 2013 we’ve been working with the Town of #ViewRoyal to turn the orchard into a #CommunityResource.
