Hi Simon, The generic log frame (part of the results based managment methodology) we are adopting to map and plan a large project like the OER University includes the "Open Technology Infrastructure" initiative. See: http://wikieducator.org/OER_University
Each initiative will require a number of activities (the building blocks) of the larger ecosystem for the "OER University Concept". So for example, the "Open Design and Development" initiative will need educators with the necessary skills for the collaborative design and development of OER. Therefore, the Learnig4Content project (which provides free training) is an activity of the Open Design and Development initiative. See for example the summary of project activities<http://wikieducator.org/OER_University#Summary_of_project_activities_of_the_OER_University>of the OER University log frame. Similarly, I see the NREN and comms stuff as activities which could categorised under the "Open Technology Infrastructure" initiative. Clearly this is a significant component of the evolving ecosystem. Please go ahead and set up pages for these specific activities and help us with planning and building the OER University. Exciting times.
