@mozilla Just applied for it! I'd like to host a sprint at my university and get a Django-based application done collaboratively.

Quite happy about the session with my students this morning. I could inspire them to share a #Zotero group with each other and me where they collect the literature for their papers collaboratively.
This gives me the chance to recommend literature directly by dragging it into their folders. And I can comment the #literature they find.

Looking forward to how this goes on!

What do you call the area outside of the focus?

Back to #Hamburg by train with a colleague. We held a 2-day-workshop for vocational school teachers on #containervirtualization with #Docker. We used #VirtualBox and an #Ubuntu VM to work with Docker.

It was not just a technial #workshop. We also focussed on how to use Docker in vocational training and class. Questions were: How can teachers use Docker to prepare lessons, how can it be used to prepare #exams and how does Docker affect the #transformation of #occupations.

It's #libremonday again and I'd like to recommend the #Android app I use for tracking my favourite podcasts: AntennaPod (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.danoeh.antennapod/).

In combination with #NewPipe (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/) it is even possible to subscribe to #Youtube channels via #RSS without logging into Google.

You will find the apps on f-droid.org. And check out https://lineageos.org/ to get rid off Google on your phone completely.

As there is quite a lot of reaction to this toot, I'd like to share a recent article from opensource.com with you which is a great tutorial to get started with #Pandoc & #Markdown.

Happy to have an article published in the book "Markdown & Pandoc" by Michael Kofler.

In the fresh second edition me and my colleague Tina had the chance to explain collaborative writing with #Markdown, #Pandoc, #GitLab and #Docker in a integrated workflow (German language).

Does anybody here use Markdown and Pandoc to write scientific papers?

Looking forward to showing "The Internet's Own Boy" about #openaccess activist Aaron Swartz at 18:15 at Hamburg University of Technology.

If you are around come and join us on this special event in the weekly Hack[a|er]space!

Watched the movie "Paywall - The Business of Scholarship" yesterday together with colleagues and students.

One thing I'm thinking about is the kind of like *fork* Vincent Larivière and Johan Rooryck describe (from minute 48:00) for existing journals under the condition that the board supports the idea of *walking away*.

Is this a fork or does a fork always leave a group behind?

This afternoon, the cool folks from the TUHH Library TUB are going to show the movie "Paywall - The Business of Scholarship".

#oaweek2018 #OAWeek

The most important thing that I took with me:

- Organising participation via digital tools excludes a large one of the parents. The direct conversation between people is time-consuming, but most effective.
- Information about committees and possibilities of participation should be communicated in many languages and not only in German.

At yesterday's Parents' Council meeting at my children's school, the issue was the decreasing involvement of parents in everyday school life.

There was a lively and constructive discussion about what participation can mean - and that it has to be more than just baking a cake every now and then.

With the start of the #OAWeek today the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) released their Open Policy.

This is a great day for all colleagues and me that co-authored the policy and brought open discourses to this point at our university!
