Completely in love with the crochet decorations at the Craft-OA Conference ❤️
I vote for the patterns to be published as OER so that other conferences (looking at you @OATage 😉 ) can adapt them with their own colour scheme!

Live now: deep dive into the #EDCH
Marion is walking us through the EDCH Registry & Forum — how to write a post, engage in discussions, and connect with others. @eudch.bsky.social 👉 registry.diamas.org #CRAFT_OA2025

Johan Rooryck tells us the solutions, including tools for publishers, that the #EDCH offers to the European #DiamondOA community. "When I set up Glossa (a Diamond OA journal), this wasn't there. We had to start from the ground up..." Find out more about the EDCH: diamas.org @eudch.bsky.social

Wow! Almost 3,000 people from 92 countries participated in the UNESCO survey on #Diamond OA. The report comes out later this month. Dr. David Oliva Uribe explained how UNESCO is bringing together the global DiamondOA community. The presentation slides will be made available soon. #CRAFT_OA2025
