Update. Here's the #EuropeanCommission call for tenders on the new #OpenSource infrastructure for Open [#OpenAccess] Research Publishing.
https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:737455-2023:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0

The EC estimates it will pay €1 million for 2 years of work. Tenders are due by January 31, 2024.

Update. More on the EC plan for Open Research Europe (#ORE) to adopt an #OpenSource core.
https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/3603e219-6a65-11ef-a8ba-01aa75ed71a1/language-en

See §2.4.5. "ORE will be underpinned by an #OpenSource software #infrastructure, the core elements of which will be developed with the support of the Commission and will follow #OpenStandards. Its infrastructure will be in line with the Principles for Open Scholarly Infrastructure [#POSI] and with the Open Source Software Strategy of the European Commission."


Update. Here are some of my own past calls (2018-2020) for the EC specs to require that #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE) be #OpenSource.

EC awarded the ORE contract to #F1000 in March 2020.

#TaylorAndFrancis had acquired F1000 in January 2020.

The #EuropeanCommission is finally considering whether "#OpenSource software (#OSS)…can be used as a foundation for developing the new #publishing platform" for EC-funded #OpenAccess research.

Unfortunately, the new software would merely "underpin" #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE), not replace it. ORE is proprietary software owned by #TaylorAndFrancis. When the EC called for bids on ORE, it did not require open code despite many calls to do so.

#FLOSS #OpenInfrastructure


Update. Very good news: The European Commission picked #OpenJournalSystems (#OJS) to be the #OpenSource core of #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE).

At least at its core, the primary platform for hosting EC-funded #OpenAccess research will finally now be #OpenInfrastructure.

It's pretty cool that an open-source project is using another FLOSS solution. Impressive stats for sure. Debian's gitlab instance, salsa.debian.org: has ~15.500 users, 79.000 projects, 750 groups, 31.000 forks, 14.600 issues, and 64.000 merge requests? We are active! https://micronews.debian.org/2024/1724368366.html #linux #opensource
