Hi Sarah / Randy Thanks Sarah -- I recall difficulties trying to figure out how to enrol myself, but agree with Randy that the Open Access Week organisers could lower the barriers for signing up on their Ning blog.
I've copied Donna Okubo over at PLOS who is the Institutional Relations Manager -- I'm sure they will find a solution to make easier to sign up on their blog. They're a great team committed to open access. Note that if anyone wants to sign up and register for the OER Foundation webinars (no password needed) just hit the register button next to the session you would like to join and we will send a friendly reminder of the event. http://wikieducator.org/Open_Access_Week_2010 Cheers Wayne On Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at 1:02 PM, Sarah Stewart <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Randy > > To me it looks like Jennifer McLennan created the Ning blog...it's her name > that is on the bottom credits and she is the one who posted the "about" > blurb > > http://www.openaccessweek.org/profile/JenniferMcLennan > > cheers Sarah > > > On Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at 12:56 PM, Randy Fisher <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> How irritating - I can't sign up to the Ning blog because I don't know who >> the person is, that created the network.
