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.
https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/cc087fd8-82b3-11ee-99ba-01aa75ed71a1/language-en

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.

Analysis of the requirements for the Open Source infrastructure of the Open Research Europe Publishing Platform - Publications Office of the EU

Open Research Europe (ORE) is the peer-reviewed open-access publishing platform of the European Commission. It follows the post-publication peer review model to promote scientific transparency and reuse.

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.

Auf der diesjähirgen #FrOSCon habe ich zum Thema "Geld ist nicht alles! Neue Wege zur nachhaltigen Beschaffung Freier Software" gesprochen. Dank @c3voc ist der Talk nach kaum 20 Stunden schon online - tolle Arbeit!

Danke für viele gute Gedanken zum Thema während der Konferenz! Auf neuen Wegen mag mancher Fallstrick lauern, aber es lohnt sich, sie zu gehen.

Öffentliche Verwaltungen brauchen #FreieSoftware!
