βLonnie G. Bunch, the secretary, has the support of the Board of Regents in his authority and management of the Smithsonian.β The message was clear: Trump does not control the nationβs museums.
In an act of resistance against Trump, the Smithsonian pushed back after the president claimed he had fired Kim Sajet, director of the National Portrait Gallery. βAll personnel decisions are made by and subject to the direction of the secretary, with oversight by the board,β the institution stated.
And,
As our company grows, openness becomes more important.

We can still be successful without restricting the value of our work to only those who pay us. #opensource #digipres #archives
Openness gives sovereign control to anyone who wants to manage collections or focus on the right to anonymity inherent in a truly open model. #opensource #digipres #archives
We favour collaboration over individual effort. Open source software allows people to collaborate in a way that is more difficult with proprietary code. This is vital for the cultural memory sector to govern its own domain. #opensource #digipres #archives
Working in the open allows us to accept and include community contributions. We strive to participate in a community ecosystem. #opensource #digipres #archives
Towards a Manifesto for May Day -
OSS is open to scrutiny. Anyone can evaluate, audit, use, improve, adapt, and share our code. This improves trust, reliability and transparency, between software developers and organisations, and between organisations and their users. #opensource #digipres #archives
Happy May Day! May is also Maintainer Month, highlighting the work of those who care for open source projects. Being open isnβt the only way to contribute to a practice of care but we think it is the best way. Today we are going to post some of our reasons why. #open #opensource #digipres #archives
If you would like to read the full blog post about our views on openness and open source software, it has been posted on our website. Happy May 1st! www.artefactual.com/post/open-by... #opensource #digipres #archives #labourday #mayday

The view out the back of the library. It is daylight.
We started in the darkness of January and end in the wonderful lightness of March!
It's Monday night and it's 5pm so it's time for the final episode of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'
The clocks have changed, spring has arrived and it is THIS LIGHT! π‘β€οΈπ
We've heard a rumour lately - that AtoM is no longer going to be updated or maintained. Not sure where this started but we want to set the record straight: for the foreseeable future Artefactual will continue to maintain, update, and support Access to Memory. www.artefactual.com/post/atom-st...
The view out the back of the library. It is overcast but still very light.
We've been quiet today just so we can sneak up on you now at 5pm with the PENULTIMATE episode of the 2025 series of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?
It's not the nicest afternoon here and it's a bit cold and it's a bit windy but it is still THIS LIGHT! π‘β€οΈπ
The balls of Orkney Library & Archive in the sunshine. The sky is blue.
Today is the first day of spring and it's good to have the sun on our balls again. π
It me!
The view out the back of the library. It is daylight. The sun is in the sky.
It's like there's magic in the air around us. A few weeks ago we were in darkness and now it's Monday AND it's 5pm AND it's time for WEEK ELEVEN of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'
*clears throat*
AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY THIS LIGHT! π‘β€οΈππ
βThere was a real deep philosophy behind the work that [18F was] doing, a real deep sense of intentionality, and a real deep commitment to delivering the best possible outcome for the American taxpayer.β (Side note: Our commitment still stands. πΊπΈ)
The view out the back of the library. The sun is low but it is daylight. The sun is shining between the clouds.
It's March and it's Monday and it's 5pm so whether you believe us or not it is literally time for WEEK TEN of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'
AND
IT
IS
ABSOLUTELY
THIS
LIGHT

We are putting together our calendar of meetings and conferences to attend for 2025. First up: Born-Digital Collections, Archives and Memory at the University of London. Who else is going? #archives #digipres www.sas.ac.uk/about-us/ins...
The view out the back of the library. The sky is darkening but still had light on the horizon. Streetlights are on in the foreground.
Anyway the most important thing is that it's Monday night and it's February AND it's 5pm so it must be time for EPISODE FIVE of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'
No we can't believe it either. It's not even dark yet.
IT IS LITERALLY THIS LIGHT. π‘
