CERN To Host Europe's Flagship Open Access Publishing Platform (home.cern) 30
CERN has confirmed it will host an expanded version of Open Research Europe, the EU-backed fee-free open access publishing platform that works to "keep knowledge in public hands." Research Professional News reports: A little over a year ago, 10 European research organizations announced that they would add their support to Open Research Europe, to broaden eligibility beyond only those researchers funded by the EU research program. Earlier this year, RPN reported that this group had expanded further and that Cern was set to host the broadened version of ORE, currently provided by the publisher F1000.
On March 26, Cern itself finally announced the news, saying it will "provide the technical and operational infrastructure" for the broader version. It said this will build on its "longstanding experience in developing and maintaining open science infrastructures and community-governed services." [...] In its own announcement, the Commission said ORE will have a budget of 17 million euros for 2026-31, with the EU providing 10 million euros.
Since it launched five years ago, ORE has published more than 1,200 articles. Cern said the platform is "expected to support a growing number of research outputs each year." Last month, experts told RPN they thought uptake of the increased eligibility will depend on how the newly participating national organizations engage with their communities. Eleven members of Science Europe, a group of major research funding and performing organizations, are part of the expansion.

No, he's deranged, this is the inevitable result of denial, greed and self-justification. The complicit are angry about being abusive people so they deflect. Unethical people lie to themselves and as such must distrust all the good in the world. This is what classism does to classists.

May also be derangement of the religious type, i.e. the one that is completely divorced from all facts.

furthermore, the most common derangement these days is self-importance brought on by entitlement and fueled by self-indulgence, these upper class people have clearly spoiled themselves rotten and they live in fantasy world surrounded by syphocants
sadly they are drunk with power, in the drivers seat and the road ahead is narrow and dangerous and billions of lives are in the balance

Check his posting history and it's very clear that he is not.
If he is not a trollbot, he is so frothy as to be indistinguishable from one. Every comment is the same.

I also went to take a look at his history. His posts were very sporadic but not too bad until the time of the Covid lockdowns (2020):

... and progress downwards from there. Pretty scary progression.

And fail. How clueless can you be? CERN does a lot more and, in particular, a lot of applied CS research due to the massive amount of data they need to be able to handle. Even if they partially fail their core mission (they cannot fully fail anymore), the money invested was already recovered countless times over.

... peer-review will be done *after* publishing, with all article versions being available and linked together...
Another bit of added value is having all the versions of the paper out in the open. Future researches can see the effect of peer-review itself: what did the authors put in or leave out for approval?
Good. Now an EU backup of archive.org (Score:3)
I think that is essential, to remove the risk of a crazy US government destroying it.
Maybe CERN could be the site for one ?

I think the problem there is that the archive.org people have not yet fully realized what trajectory the US is on.
