"STOP ELSEVIER CONTRACT"
A little bit of activism during the Open Science Festival today, during the opening plenary. Inspired by the session on activism yesterday at the OS Barcamp, awesome to see action being taken directly! #NOSF2026

@RicBra @alexbrandsen @matherion for now we would like to limit the resource usage, since we don't yet have any long-term funding, and video is a high resource usage - sorry Ricarda!
@bjorn @RicBra @alexbrandsen Yeah, we shouldn't dive into Bonfire too enthousiastically. Bjorn and me haven't even had time yet to peacefully explore the instance and settings and think about how we'd want to configure it. Also, what sensible limits for e.g. video files would be hasn't been thought about yet. We also don't have a preliminary governance yet - or policies etc. So - we'll get back to you when we have some minimal ideas about this 🙂
But of course you can upload to video.edu.nl - that's also on the fediverse 🤩
(Well - not exactly also, since this ConnectingScience BonFire instance isn't federating with the fediverse -- yet 🙂)
@alexbrandsen love to see it!
@alexbrandsen I also have a video of the action unfolding but cant upload it due to size limit 😇 @matherion
