Why and how to do education on open models and digital commons? One key project of this initiative is to build a knowledge base on open models: https://open-models.org
To facilitate the use of this tool the homepage and the introduction have just been updated, by @simon (myself, the author of this publication).
Open models education remains a very emerging topic which is generally conducted in silos: open science to researchers, open software to computer scientists, open education to teachers... Without providing a global picture of these phenomena, these various parties may even be unaware of each other's existence.
The knowledge base tries to answer this gap and connect openness movements. It can have multiple interests, at first because open models share some common laws and because these dynamics are complementary by articulating with each other!
An openly available resource to be able « to train people, a basis to create educational resources adapted to the multiplicity of contexts, a means to empower a network of trainers and specialists and a way to gather research in order to follow the state of the art in these areas. »
Education on open models can be a really broad topic targeting a variety of audiences, the intent with the base is at first to provide a general culture and then redirect to more specialized actors for advanced training.
A way to initiate people to these phenomena and then let them dive deeper depending on their needs.
Whether you're new to these movements or already well-versed in them but want to understand openness in other domains, this resource might be of interest to you. Or for any organization/university/school working around digital literacy!
To see the introduction: https://open-models.org/content/introduction.html
In this culture of contribution, feedback and suggestions for improvements are appreciated. Open models are hard to explain!

Creation of a new job board around open models directly on the knowledge base: https://open-models.org/jobs/
Explore jobs related to open science, open education, open software, open hardware... All in the same place which you can also follow using an RSS feed 😉
The aim is to create a collaborative job board; if your organization has any offers or if you find one online! Please share them directly on the GitHub repository or communicate it by any means like in comments here.
The current offers:
- Various offers to set up for the founding team of the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (@Digital Commons EDIC): Operations Manager; Programme & Technical Manager; Ecosystem & Partnerships Manager; Office, Events & Communications Coordinator
- Librarian Research Support Specialist at the @University of Luxembourg to support researchers on their open science and open data practices. A job that will certainly be about being FAIR.
- Project Manager (M/F/X) Open Digital Publishing at @University of Liège for the development and coordination of open scientific publishing projects and the management of publishing portals
- Commons Project Manager for Socially Responsible Digital Reuse Initiatives at @Emmaüs France to organize and lead a national network by developing shared tools and a shared governance structure.It is offers found manually through monitoring of social media, we may gather more together to help people find a job or support the growth of open projects. Will be more and more interesting for everyone as the surrounding community grow.
For more technicality and to follow open data/open standards, all job offers are based on a JSON-LD format following the JobPosting standard from scheme.org. It may enable interoperability and reuse of the data elsewhere 🤷
Let's build a good place to share jobs around open models?

Hello World 👋 This is not the launch of a new foundation but just a space to federate (and communicate on) communities around open models and digital commons.
Why Open Models Unfoundation? It aims to be a place to work at the intersection of all of these openness movements.
To share initiatives, to support education, to connect, to get news, to open minds, to find any kind of support thanks to a growing community!
The creation of this space is closely related to the project of knowledge base on open models and digital commons: https://open-models.org/
If you're active around these open things and want to support technologies built on sharing and collaboration, it may be an interesting place to be and follow. A complementary vehicle to push forward this vast and shared mission 🌍
How should communities around open models be organized? What Open Models Unfoundation may be in the current landscape?
Join this brand new matrix server to chat with us(/me!): https://matrix.to/#/#open-models-unfoundation:matrix.org

@guizans @Shine_McShine Yo hasta las pelotas irritadas de decirle a la #Generalitat que irse de una herramienta de gestión web #opensoftware a #Adobe es una Genialitat, a ver si ponen a la caca de #Copilot en marcha y que les explique el juego de palabras porque no se enteran por Inteligencia Natural... :AI_Yay:
Eso sí, luego te meten cursos obligatorios para decirte que #whatsapp es malo pero #Meta para redes sociales es bien. Me explota el cap :blobfox_explode:

Opensourcewerken: de 4 voordelen, misvattingen en feiten
Open source is een manier van werken waarbij de makers van systemen de broncode openbaar beschikbaar maken met een opensourcelicentie. Maar wat zijn de voordelen hiervan? Welke misvattingen zijn er en wat zijn de feiten over opensourcewerken? Hierbij de 4 voordelen, misvattingen en feiten op een rij.
4 voordelen van opensourcewerken
Door de opensourcelicentie kan iedereen de software bekijken, hergebruiken, aanpassen of delen. Ook kun je voorstellen doen voor verbeteringen of toevoegingen. Dit kan bijvoorbeeld over de broncode gaan, maar ook over de tekst of het ontwerp.
Dit zijn de 4 voordelen van opensourcewerken:
- Transparantie en vertrouwen. Iedereen kan zien hoe de software werkt en in elkaar zit.
- Samenwerking en innovatie. Overheidsinstellingen, ondernemers en inwoners kunnen samenwerken aan software en van elkaar leren.
- Veiligheid en betrouwbaarheid. Doordat de software open is voor iedereen, kunnen fouten en risico’s sneller worden ontdekt en onderzocht.
- Efficiëntie en onafhankelijkheid. Organisaties kunnen elkaars software gebruiken en dit voorkomt dubbel werk en onnodige kosten. Daarnaast zijn ze niet meer afhankelijk van 1 leverancier.
4 misvattingen en feiten over opensourcewerken
In 2020 werd de beleidslijn ‘Open, Tenzij’ geïntroduceerd en sindsdien worden steeds meer projecten met behulp van opensourcecomponenten ontwikkeld. Maar opensourcewerken wordt nog weleens gezien als ingewikkeld, waardoor misvattingen ontstaan.
Hierbij 4 misvattingen en de feiten over opensourcewerken:
- Open source is onveiliger dan closed source. Doordat iedereen de software kan inzien en fouten kan ontdekken, worden beveiligingsproblemen in open software juist sneller gevonden en opgelost.
- Systemen die persoonsgegevens verwerken kunnen niet open source zijn. Het is mogelijk om sommige onderdelen openbaar te maken en andere onderdelen gesloten te houden. Dit betekent dat je bijvoorbeeld de broncode kunt delen zonder inhoudelijke gegevens.
- Software die je openbaar maakt moet perfect zijn. Opensourcewerken is transparant en daarom kun je alvast software publiceren die je nog aan het ontwikkelen bent. Zo profiteer je meteen van verbetersuggesties.
- Open source is alleen voor programmeurs. In opensourcesystemen kun je feedback geven op broncodes, maar ook op teksten en ontwerpen. Hierdoor kunnen mensen met verschillende expertises opensourcewerken.
Meer informatie
Op de pagina Opensourcewerken op Digitale Overheid vind je meer informatie. Heb je vragen, wil je kennis en/of ervaringen delen? Ga dan naar de Open Source Pleio Community. Je vindt hier onder andere verschillende handige hulpmiddelen om aan de slag te gaan met opensourcewerken.

Strong statement! Really appreciating the effort that #OASPA has been making to support and recognize other models of publishing #openaccess. Plus the call to support more #opendata #opensoftware and generally #openscience https://oaspa.org/oaspa-response-to-nasa-rfi-2023/ #scholarled #FreetheAPC #diamondOA

Vorrei dire che non è proprio così. Allo strapotere dei giganti del web è possibile mettere limiti. Nella mia scuola ci siamo affidati a GClassroom e GMeet, ma anche a Jitsi Meet. Tra le altre cose, essendo Jitsi Meet FOSS ne esistono più istanze in giro per internet. Alcune sono reperibili qui:
La mia preferita è quella GARR:
open.meet.garr.it
