Sitting a session at the IDCC Conference in Madurodam, hearing about the 4TU Research Data repository: it's written in Python, and it's open source - github.com/4TUResearchD.... I need to take a look!

I'm excited to be heading to the Netherlands for meetings at SURF, presenting at the International Digital Curation Conference, and speaking on a panel at FAIRfest, before finishing with meetings at DANS. Particularly looking forward to catching up with @natalieharrower.bsky.social and Carole Goble
