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.

Opening of the #OpenScience Barcamp 2025 by Nina from #Wikipedia on current threats on #OpenKnowledge in the freshly renovated offices of Wikimedia. Große Vorfreunde! ☀️#oscibar2025
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
Es gibt tatsächlich einen #Wikipedianerstammtisch im #Saarland bis heute? Wow…
Ich war da ein einziges Mal, laut Wikipedia 2012 und genau von dem Treffen gibt es dort ein Foto. 😄

🖋️ Fancy contributing to free knowledge?
On 11 June, together with the Yper Museum, we are organising a writing session on artists from Ypres and the Westhoek.
The aim: to make their work and life stories more visible on Wikipedia🎨.
Everyone welcome - even those who have never edited Wikipedia before!

"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."

Schön, dass auch gescheitere Leute als ich auf solche Ideen kommen:

In 2010, #AaronSwartz downloaded 70 GB of articles from JSTOR. He faced a $1 million fine and 35 years in prison
➡️ Aaron took his own life in 2013.
#Meta illegally downloaded over 80 terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train its #AI models
➡️ facing no consequences.
Information is power, knowledge is power.
Beware and fight against those who want to keep you ignorant, unaware, and misinformed.
