☕️💬 Big thanks to Wikimedia CH for fueling the Open Science Retreat — quite literally!

Their support made our coffee breaks and meeting rooms possible — giving space for deep conversations, spontaneous ideas, and new connections around open research and open knowledge. 🧠✨

Open minds need open spaces. Thanks for making that happen, Wikimedia CH! 🇨🇭

Vandaag werd mijn projectje "Bestemming Nerdland" vermeld in de nieuwste aflevering van de @nerdlandbe podcast (🙏 @jbaert en de andere podcasters)

🌐🔊 Ik maakte een interactieve wereldkaart waarmee je "nerdy bestemmingen" kan ontdekken, telkens met het bijbehorende fragment uit de podcast. Het project steunt op #opensource en #openknowledge, met dank aan o.a. @maplibre @openstreetmap en @wikidata

@nimi @papuass @stefan @freediverx yeah except you can't force bad actors to use your commercial API if they still have an open route in, that basically cost them next to nothing. It really doesn't matter isn't elegant. It works, it's cheap. It's basically an arms race that were never designed to wage.

Currently it looks like there are only en, fr, and uk language versions [2][3].

Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.
