Ever had questions about our #PayToClose model of #OpenAccess?
Our new blog might have some answers for you!
I'm pretty pumped for 2023 .
Every year is critical now, so deciding what to focus on has been an exciting challenge.
This year we decidedly chose to focus on business and community, not features.

What better week than #OpenAccessWeek to introduce our Event Policy?
Our manifesto, theory of change, code of conduct, and work on ecological sustainability created the spirit for this event policy, so what we share here is a logical next step for us.

6. The event policy applies to both internal and external events
In-person events can only be considered to be in-person if the team composition allows for it - so always check with us if you’re looking to invite us.

5. Hybrid events are organized as virtual first.
In-person attendees will be a part of the virtual audience, instead of the virtual attendees a part of the in-person audience.
