[open-science] OKFN Open Science Mailing List will close on 31 Jan 2020 - where to next?

Mon Nov 18 11:20:52 UTC 2019

I am also a very early user/supporter of the OKFN lists and regret their
passing. It's certainly important to preserve the archive for historical
research and enlightenment. (I'm on a multi-author paper about origins of
openaccess through opensource and archives are very valuable.

We aren't the only ones in this situation. There are many OKFN lists (
https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/) and some will confront the same
problems. A lot are for managing OKFN business but here are some examples
(I have omitted country specific ones and those with no description).
