We wrapped up the MoCHI project — a year-long study of how community health frameworks and metrics shape decisions about open research infrastructure.
Key finding: frameworks like CHAOSS, FOREST, and POSI are useful — but mainly for internal self-assessment, not external evaluation.

What stakeholders actually use? 11 recurring themes, shaped by trust and tension.

Building trust through values: What we learned from the MoCHI project

How do we evaluate open infrastructure? After a year of research, we discovered the answer isn't about checklists. It's about navigating values in tension and building trust.

We’re recruiting! Four new Grade 8 posts in Advanced Research Computing | Kenny Gillen

Help secure a national GPU supercomputing platform powering cutting-edge science! I’m hiring a Senior Research Infrastructure Engineer (Cybersecurity) to help secure the systems behind Baskerville, the UK’s new £18M National (High Performance) Compute Resource, being built at the University of Birmingham. Baskerville is a large-scale GPU supercomputing platform supporting researchers across the UK working on challenges such as: • Clean energy and energy storage • Environmental sustainability • Advanced materials and critical minerals • AI and data-intensive science • Medicine and medical technologies The interesting part of this role is solving the security challenges that come with large research computing platforms: • Securing multi-tenant Linux and GPU clusters running arbitrary research workloads • Protecting sensitive data while enabling open scientific collaboration • Applying pragmatic security controls in HPC environments designed for performance and scale You’ll help shape the security architecture of a national research computing platform, working closely with HPC engineers and researchers to design controls that work in real scientific environments. If you enjoy working at the intersection of cyber security, Linux systems engineering and high-performance computing, I’d love to hear from you. Happy to answer questions about the role or about Baskerville. Please share with anyone in HPC, research computing, Linux infrastructure, or security engineering who might be interested. 🔗 Find out more about this role and 3 others in Advanced Research Computing: https://lnkd.in/eEafPFve Apply here:👉https://lnkd.in/e8R_fzBW #Jobs #BaskervilleNCR #HPC #ResearchComputing #CyberSecurity #CareerOpportunities #CyberSecurityJobs #CyberJobs #LinuxJobs #RSE #Supercomputing

🧩 How can DH communities maintain sustainable directories of research tools?
In “Open Tool Registries! Resolving the Directory Paradox with Wikidata” (DHQ, 2026), the authors present a framework for open, community-curated tool registries built on Wikidata, SPARQL, and open infrastructures like GitLab & Zenodo.

Advancing Open Science Through Open Source Development

Scholarship advances best when knowledge, tools, and data are shared as public goods. Just as societies invest in roads, power grids, and internet infrastructure for the benefit of all, research communities need durable, open infrastructure to support discovery. Open source provides that foundation by ensuring that research systems are transparent, adaptable, and built for the long term.

#medicaldevices #pharmaceuticals | Florian Tolkmitt

📢Uniting to Protect Medical Knowledge📢 Yesterday ZB MED - Informationszentrum Lebenswissenschaften launched a funding campaign "Uniting to Protect Medical Knowledge - ZB MED launches fundraising campaign for OLSPub, the European alternative to PubMed" I don't know how you feel about this. For me, this is something I take very serious personally, not only in business. Of course, PubMed is our daily source of information right now, with basically no real alternative. So what if PubMed does not work - for whatever reason? We do have a problem! And that problem could potentially affect our work, our research and in the end development of health care products including #medicaldevices #pharmaceuticals and many more, slowing down development, leading to delays in conformity assessment and approval, creating uncertainties in these procedures and potentially have an effect on accessability of these products for patients. This sounds dramatic. And it is! This is why I am taking it really serious and support the initiative by ZBmed wholeheartedly and ask everyone to do the same. The link for donations: https://lnkd.in/dVqBbM6u And the link for more information: https://lnkd.in/dReicCvs https://lnkd.in/dYuZy7Wi So please spread the word and support this initiative. Companies can donate and everyone can do it on a personal level as well. We do need to support to assure research will not be affected negatively.
