Starting now! #OpenFest25 let's go!
Last run through of my talk for #OpenFest tomorrow, pretty much bang on an hour so I'm going to have to speak fast and attempt to not go off track.
Hopefully it'll be an enjoyable, if general, overview of EDI issues in Open Research. I hope you'll come along!

tl;dr: open research has been co-opted by tedious corporate interests and state-led regulatory exercises. Let's reclaim the experimental spirit of open licensing and do some cool DIY and community-led stuff. Let's build our own shit. #OpenFest25

This was great from @batoolmm.bsky.social - not often you see discussion of open science explicitly referencing universities' harmful investment in fossil fuels and weapons #openfest25
In our final online panel, a great paper from Batool Almarzouq, who shows how - if you follow the sources back - the same extractivist dynamics that transfer wealth from the global south to the global north in neocolonial projects play out in the open science funding landscape #OpenFest25

The main thing I'm taking from this talk in #OpenFest25 with @simonxix.com @kjsanders.bsky.social @samuelmoore.org and Hannah Hillan is that if we want an open access movement that is equitable and diverse, the process of publishing matters at least as much as whether or not outputs are open
