CERN Courier features the Open Search Foundation in an article about Open Web Search. Andreas Wagner – member of the CERN IT department – was interviewed on the EU funded OpenWebSearch.eu project, which aims to establish an OpenWebIndex in a collaborative, non-profit environment.
In the interview he also mentions the #ossym conference series, which was initiated by the Open Search Foundation 6 years ago.
#ossym brings together the Open Web Search Community once a year in a hybrid conference format to discuss, promote and develop new ideas for the future of European Web Search. The next #ossym is scheduled for 9-11 October 2024 at LRZ in Munich/Germany: https://opensearchfoundation.org/en/events-osf/ossym24/
