PHAIDRA Community Call August 6

I am super excited to announce the second community call for 2026. In 2025, we had 4 successful community calls and we continue in that spirit!

:megaphone: Open Education remains a hot topic — and there’s a lot happening across the PHAIDRA community as well.

And that’s precisely what we’ll be talking about at our next PHAIDRA Community Call.

This time, we’ll be joined by guests from the University of Salzburg and the University of Applied Arts Vienna, who will share insights and experiences from their work with Open Educational Resources.

The full program:

  • 16:00 - 16:10 Opening by ben van ‘t ende [PHAIDRA community manager]

  • 16:10 - 16:15 Rastislav Hudak [senior PHAIDRA developer]: PHAIDRA development

  • 16:15 - 16:20 Arran Griffith [Program Manager for Academic Open Source Repository Software] Fedora development and Fedoracamp Vienna

  • 16:20 - 16:35 Veronika Kocher [Art and Research Data Manager, University of Applied Arts Vienna] Showcase The Angewandte

  • 16:35 - 16:50 Lily Asshauser [Learning Technologist, Didactics and Learning Technologies] Showcase Salzburg University of Applied Sciences

Join us on:
:date: Thursday, 6 August 2026
:four_o_clock: 16:00-17:00 CEST
:laptop: Online via Zoom

Together, we’ll explore how PHAIDRA is being used for Open Educational Resources, hear experiences from across the community, and discuss current developments and challenges in making OER visible, accessible, and discoverable on a larger scale.

Thanks, everyone, for joining the community call! Special thanks to Rasta, Arran, Veronika, and Lily for providing insight in what is going on in the PHAIDRA community. The Open Education topic is so interesting, and we will definitely have more OER related topics in the coming community calls. I have included my introduction, designed by Adam.
