OA Switchboard will host three 'discussion events' at the 2021 Open Publishing Fest, a decentralized public event that brings together communities supporting open source software, open content, and open publishing models.

​

The same event will run three times on Tuesday 9 November 2021:

• at 7am (CET) for our friends to the east of us

• at 1pm (CET) for our friends nearer by

• at 9pm (CET) for our friends to the west of us and in New Zealand 

​

The title of our events is: From toll roads to highways - How the OA Switchboard is building the infrastructure for an OA-driven scholarly communications landscape.

​

The event will reflect on our journey from idea (2018) to being operational (2021). We'll present our principles and POSI self-assessment, cover tough choices and will share pragmatic solutions. We're happy to share our experiences and enter into discussion with the participants.
