RE: https://troet.cafe/@ndaktuell/116662941939378411

Sehr wild liebes ND - ihr greift ein total wichtiges Thema und ein Dilemma linker Organisationen auf - mensch will die Massen erreichen und wird immer stärker von Plattformen für Links, politische Inhalte etc. bestraft oder gleich gebannt. Der Versuch die Bevölkerung zu erreichen, hält viele auf den Plattformen ihrer schlimmsten politischen Feinde - während mensch trotzdem immer mehr an Boden verliert. Ihr fordert radikale Alternativen. Und dann benennt ihr diese Alternativen nicht, den Digital Independence Day nicht, startet mit eurer Reichweite keinen flammenden Aufruf zum Wechsel?!

Wir rufen flammend auf: Helft euren Freund:innen beim Wechseln, unterstützt dezentrale Plattformen mit offenen Code, schreibt politische Organisationen, Institutionen, Medien an, die nicht auf diesen Plattformen sind. Kämpft in euren Betrieben um die Software, die verwendet wird, unterstützt die Entwicklung dieser Software!

Les métriques Zenodo viennent de tomber : 260 vues, 58 téléchargements. Dans une démarche de recherche citoyenne et moins d'une semaine après la publication de mon preprint « Open Source 2.0 : From Open Source Software to Open Source Resources? », probablement un joli début ❤️‍🔥

Pour continuer la valorisation/promotion, lien article: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20237079

Avec déjà des échanges au sein de communautés qui ont plutôt tendance à confirmer ma thèse autour des « ressources open source », ces ressources numériques qui fournissent leurs fichiers source.

J'ai diffusé ces travaux dans une variété de communautés au sein de l'éducation ouverte, de la science ouverte et du logiciel ouvert en plus d'une publication sur LinkedIn et Mastodon.

Un bon intérêt sur ce concept de ressources open source du côté de l'open education où @axelklinger, @cogdog, @PaolaCorti et @italovignoli sont alors venus me partager leurs problèmes/enjeux autour de la gestion des fichiers source et de leurs formats: https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/preprint-publication-request-for-review-open-source-2-0-from-open-source-software-to-open-source-resources/9001

Du côté science ouverte, 4-5 réactions du genre 👍 ou 👀. Des partages notamment auprès de la communauté @FORRT, des groupes linkedin comme l'Open Science Community Madrid ou Transform to Open Science de la NASA.

Espérons qu'ils soient en train d'analyser ça! Et comme c'est aujourd'hui le fonctionnement de la recherche toujours à la recherche d'évaluation par les pairs: https://prereview.org/preprints/doi-10.5281-zenodo.20237079

Du côté des informaticiens, c'est intéressant. J'ai eu le droit à mon débat autour de l'Open Source Initiative et de leur Open Source Definition (OSD) dans la mailing list Teaching Open Source ! Lien échange: https://lists.teachingopensource.org/pipermail/tos/2026-May/thread.html

Avec un enseignant-chercheur, Dr. Bryan G. Behrenshausen, dont je viens de découvrir à la rédaction de cette publication qu'il est/était Senior Open Source Program Manager à GitLab. Je crois que j'ai bien défendu mon argumentaire dans cet échange intellectuel. Pas d'accords sur les terminologies, mais pas non plus de contradiction sur ma théorie autour des fichiers sources pour les autres typologies de ressources numériques.

Dans cette tradition, on m'a invité à appeler ça autrement ce à quoi je réplique que cela semble une évolution naturelle, déjà existante, avec une fin cordiale en concluant avec Descartes. Ils restent enfermés dans leurs convictions, je l'ai probablement déstabilisé, mais ces soutiens d'acteurs du logiciel open source à l'OSD me paraissent plutôt simples à contredire. Des arguments d'autorité avec un raisonnement un peu fragile...

Défi de ce vendredi : présenter ces réflexions au directeur de l'OSI qui a eu la mauvaise idée de proposer des créneaux de visio! Souhaitez-moi bon courage, j'ai quand même un peu peur du big boss 😅

Après quelques années de réflexions sur le sens de l'« open source » né d'une volonté d'expliquer ce concept, je viens de rédiger et publier mon premier article (preprint) de recherche citoyenne intitulé « Open Source 2.0 : From Open Source Software to Open Source Resources? ».

Article disponible sur Zenodo au DOI suivant: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20237079

Pas encore vraiment une œuvre d'art mais un moyen de synthétiser les réflexions pour ouvrir le débat — dans le milieu académique notamment — sur le sens de cette notion qui pourrait être autre chose que ce à quoi nous l'associons aujourd'hui.

Je développe principalement l'idée des « ressources open source », ces ressources numériques pour lesquelles sont fournis les fichiers sources pour en permettre la modification (ex: odt/docx/markdown/latex d'un pdf). Avec les ressources numériques, on a régulièrement cette configuration entre des fichiers source et une ressource finale dérivée de ceux-ci.

Une question majeure pour les ressources ouvertes où souvent on s'arrête aux licences ouvertes sans considération de ces éléments plus techniques; les droits fournis ne sont alors en réalité pas applicables.

J'invite les acteurs et actrices des différents mouvements d'ouverture à se saisir de ce sens nouveau et émergeant d'« open source » car il influence en profondeur notre gestion des ressources numériques. Les ressources open source pourraient être un moyen de développer les pratiques collaboratives dans ces différents domaines comme dans l'open science et l'open education.

Dans une logique de science ouverte et pour renforcer ce travail, je suis à la recherche d'évaluations (ouvertes) par les pairs: https://prereview.org/preprints/doi-10.5281-zenodo.20237079

Une idée d'article qui me démangeait depuis un moment, j'ai enfin passé ce cap la semaine dernière.

Ce n'est qu'une potentielle révolution conceptuelle sur une notion fondamentale de notre univers numérique. À suivre dans les prochaines années.

L'« open source » ne doit plus être un sujet logiciel ❤️‍🔥

L'OSI published last year a blog post titled « There are no “Degrees of Open”: why Openness is binary ».

With profound philosophical stance like « And freedom, by its very nature, is binary. ». You're free to work guys?

Article retracted. So there is degree of openness my dear OSD?

@osi so expert of open source with arguments based on nothing. @nick a last congrats for this masterpiece 😂 !

It was a good idea to remove it, this organization is a joke seriously 🫠

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?

The ongoing transformation of universities and higher education through open models. Article by SPARC Europe : « Connecting the Opens (IV): Institutional strategies to embed openness in Higher Education ».

Link to publication: https://zenodo.org/records/19737561

Some excerpts:

Certain universities are now embedding these priorities within comprehensive institutional strategies. A common direction among institutions is consolidating previously fragmented initiatives into more unified frameworks.

As stated by one leader:“University strategy and new digital learning strategy have brought open research, scholarship and education together. University strategy emphasises community, collaboration and impact.”

Strategic planning in this area often revolves around a set of core dimensions that institutionsare beginning to address in a coordinated way.

These include:
- The development of [open] infrastructures
- The strengthening of skills
- The alignment of reward and recognition systems
- The clarification of roles and responsibilities
- The establishment of governance frameworks and standards, alongside the identification of sustainable funding opportunities.

Collaborative development of open-source software across institutions is also emerging as a more efficient and sustainable model.

5 key actions:
1. Advocate for a holistic and integrated "open by design" approach
2. Champion strategic investment in foundational open infrastructure and support
3. Drive cultural change through incentivization and recognition of open practices
4. Prioritise active engagement and co-creation with students
5. Position the institution as a leader in the global open ecosystem

Others are embedding openness within broader institutional transformations, such as digitalisation or data literacy initiatives, recognising itas a core component of the contemporary university.
