Hey People,

Welcome back to the community calls for 2026. I have made a schedule for the calls here:

  1. Thursday, April 16, 2026 - 16:00 – 17:00 PHAIDRA Community Kick-off 2026: PHAIDRAcon 2025 (videos), announcing PHAIDRAcon 2026, new website, Open Educational Resources, and Padua showcase
  2. Thursday, August 6, 2026 - (SHIFTED from July 16) 16:00 – 17:00 Mid-Year Check-in “Case Study: How a Specific Community Uses PHAIDRA for Real-World Data Management”
  3. Thursday, October 15, 2026 - 16:00 – 17:00 PHAIDRA Development Insight: Previewing Our Next Major Milestones, PHAIDRAcon, Direction of the project
  4. Thursday, December 10, 2026 - 16:00 – 17:00 Year-End Wrap-up: “Community Wish List & Q&A: Your Feedback for 2027”, Wrap-up PHAIDRAcon and FedoraCamp, What do in-person events for the community?

The call is open to everybody. I hope to see such great attendance as we had last year. The link to the ZOOM call is here: Launch Meeting - Zoom

I am working on an agenda for the first community call and will post that as soon as that is finished. You can count on an hour filled with an interesting interaction about PHAIDRA and all the topics closely related to digital preservation.

So … first call: Thursday, April 16, 2026 - 16:00 – 17:00

Mark it in your agenda, and I am looking forward to seeing you there.

Just a quick reminder. You can also recommend or request topics for discussion. PARTICIPATE!

Hey People!

Due to holidays and a few other factors, we opted to shift the second community call to 3 weeks later. So instead of July 16 it will now be on August 6.

Thursday, August 6, 2026 - 16:00 – 17:00 {[hange or mark this in your agenda]

What I have also noted is that the topic of Open Education is on top of many people’s agenda, so I want to weave a good amount of OER into the coming calls. I talked to the PHAIDRA team about this and already have a list of PHAIDRA partners that use PHAIDRA strictly for OER.

I would like to invite you to join in and participate. Is there anything you would lie to share on the topic and how you might use PHAIDRA as an OER repo?

Open Education as such is also an interesting topic and your opinion on that is valued.

I am excited for some fascinating upcoming community calls where OER is the main topic.

Please let us know here if you have any questions and if you want to participate. Also keep an eye on community.phaidra.org for the agenda of the upcoming call.
