An Evening of Open: Science, Software and AI
For decades, the open source and open access movements have transformed how knowledge is created, shared, and applied — from the earliest collaborative code repositories and freely available research to today’s global networks driving open science and AI innovation. An Evening of Open: Science, Software, and AI—co‑hosted by GitHub, UC Law SF, Open Forum for AI, and the SF French Consulate Office of Science and Technology during International Open Access Week and Open Source AI Week—honors this rich legacy and brings together researchers, technologists, and policymakers to celebrate how open source software, open science, and open source AI work together to accelerate discovery and innovation.
The program will open with remarks from the French Consul General, highlighting France’s leadership in open science and open source while underscoring the truly global nature of the open access movement. The first panel will explore how open access, open source, and AI are working together to power the future of research — showcasing real‑world examples of how these approaches accelerate discovery, reproducibility, and collaboration. The second panel will turn to law and policy, drawing lessons from the history of open access and leveraging today’s momentum around AI policy to identify governance, funding, and legal strategies that can sustain and strengthen the open infrastructure of tomorrow. Following the program, participants are invited to continue the conversation over a happy hour to reflect on the day’s insights, exchange ideas, and forge new connections across the open knowledge community.
Who Owns Our Knowledge? A Sonoma State Faculty Panel
Join Sonoma State researchers for an Open Access Week discussion on October 23, 12-1:30 PM, in 2900 Stevenson and online via Zoom, to be moderated by Dr. Eileen A, Joy, punctum books. Panelists will speak on their own OA scholarship activities, insights on the direction of research and dissemination globally and especially within the United States, and how generative artificial intelligence might affect the system.
“Who Owns Our Knowledge?” is the theme for this year’s International Open Access (OA) Week (October 20-26). It asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, scholarly and research communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce. It also challenges us to reflect on not only who has access to education and research but on how knowledge is created and shared, where it has come from, and whose voices are recognized and valued as knowledge producers.

Opening the Canon: Copyright, Access, and Creativity
As part of International Open Access Week, the public is invited to “Opening the Canon: Copyright, Access, and Creativity,” a lively evening of film, conversation, and discovery on October 22nd and 23rd at the Guild Cinema in Albuquerque at 7:00 pm each day. On October 22nd, Bryan Konefsky of Basement Films will guide a discussion on copyright, open access, creativity, and the art of working within a canon. He will also introduce the three films:
Steamboat Willie: Mickey Mouse’s first sound cartoon, newly in the public domain.
Steamboat Bill, Jr. starting Buster Keaton, the film that inspired Disney’s steamboat adventure.
Citizen Mickey by Salise Hughes: A Basement Films gem reimagining the mouse we all know.
On the 23rd, the event will include only a showing of the three films, no discussion. This event will explore how works move from private ownership into the public domain, and what that means for creators, educators, and the public. The event will conclude with an open Q&A session with Konefsky. This event is free and open to the public. Opening the Canon is created through the support of the New Mexico Open Educational Resources Consortium, University Libraries, New Mexico Library Association, and Basement Films, which has been around for 35 years supporting underrepresented forms of media.
International Open Access Week is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research. Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What makes it possible is the internet and the consent of the author or copyright-holder.
Open Access Week offers a chance to connect with the global momentum of openly sharing knowledge.

The Sidney Martin Library: Open Access Week Webinar Featuring: Dr. Danny Kingsley
Open access has been around as a concept for well over two decades, and over that time the goal posts have continuously shifted. From early ideas of moving journal publishing online and self-managing it we are now considering questions about openness across the whole research lifecycle. Open access has also, unfortunately, opened up new markets for predatory publishing as a response to the obsessive focus on traditional research outputs for assessment of individuals and institutions. Commercial publishers, meanwhile, have expanded their control on the research ecosystem by developing or acquiring multiple systems managing all aspects of the research process. Throw artificial intelligence and political interference in research into the mix, and we have a perfect storm brewing. It is a sensible time to ask: ‘who owns our knowledge’? The good news is openness can mitigate many of these challenges. Join in on this discussion of the issues and the solutions we need to embrace.
Join The Sidney Martin Library via Zoom for "It’s academic publishing, but not as we knew it," the Open Access Week Webinar which follows the theme: Who Owns Our Knowledge?

Teaching Roundtable: Who Owns Our Knowledge? The State of Open Access in the Liberal Arts
Join Victoria Peters (Scholarly Communication and Resource Services Librarian) in discussing Open Access at DePauw.
International Open Access Week 2025 (October 20–26) poses a timely question: “Who Owns Our Knowledge?” This faculty development session will explore the shifting landscape of scholarly communication, highlighting how liberal arts faculty can reclaim agency over the work they create. We will examine how open access (OA) models—diamond OA, community-aligned publishing, and institutional repositories—offer paths toward equity and public impact. Participants will also consider how liberal arts values—interdisciplinarity, critical inquiry, and student engagement—align naturally with open, ethical knowledge sharing.
By situating our campus OA history within the broader movement, this session will help faculty understand the ethical and practical implications of open access, see how institutional policies support their work, and identify opportunities to contribute to a more equitable scholarly ecosystem. Participants will leave with concrete strategies to enhance the visibility and impact of their research while advancing our community’s commitment to knowledge as a public good.
