[InetBib] Virtual Open Repositories Meeting June 1-4 2020

["Reimer, Torsten via InetBib" <inetbib@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,

Although the Open Repositories (OR) conference planned for Stellenbosch this 
June is postponed until May 31 – June 3rd 2021, we are happy to invite you to 
join a series of free virtual meetings on June 1-4, 2020.

These will offer updates from the OR community and highlight current 
discussions, innovations and recent advancements. We aim to create space for 
learning and connection during the week that OR2020 would have run. This will 
include one main session per day over Zoom for a duration of ~2 hours and a 
number of workshops. Presentations will be recorded and uploaded to the Zenodo 
Open Repositories community at https://zenodo.org/communities/openrepos and 
YouTube. And we will also have a series of conversation on Twitter using the 
hashtag #OpenRepos2020.

We are pleased to announce that Kathleen Shearer, Executive Director of the 
Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR), will present a Keynote on 
June 1st at 3PM UTC titled: “Reframing the conversation: applying the 
principles of diversity, equity and inclusion to scholarly communications”. We 
hope you will join us for this engaging presentation and the discussion to 
follow. Please see the program at 
https://or2020.sun.ac.za/conference-programme/ for more details on additional 
sessions and workshops.

The main meeting will take place on June 1-4, 2020 starting at 3PM UTC each 
day. Sessions will be recorded for later viewing.

Participants are asked to register for each day and for each workshop they wish 
to attend. Registration and a schedule may be found at 
https://or2020.sun.ac.za/conference-programme/.
Registration is free!

We hope to see you online in June and in Stellenbosch in 2021:
