20.-21.03.2025 | 3. OES Community Treffen | Freie Universität Berlin
The third OES Community Meeting took place on 20 and 21 March 2025. Serving as a platform for joint learning and exchange, the meeting brought together editors, editorial teams and developers of various publication projects that use the Open Encyclopedia System to produce quality online publications in open access.
Topics covered during the two-day meeting included latest developments and community building. Participants were able to present their projects, as well as exchange ideas on the conceptual, editorial and functional aspects of their OES applications. On the second day, participants worked in thematic groups to develop ideas for building an OES community: focusing on external communication (including the structure and content of the OES website), support for OES users (including the content of the OES manual), and formats for participating in the OES community. The workshop also offered a practical introduction to installing and editing OES, as well as discussing existing and future OES functions.
The third OES meeting was a joint initiative of the Digital Research Infrastructures devision of FUB-IT (formerly CeDiS) and the Research Area 5 ‘Building Digital Communities’ of the EXC ‘Temporal Communities’ at Freie Universität Berlin. Participation was by invitation only. The workshop was held in German.
