I'm going to be submitting a presentation about the work I've done with two archives and an online library as Wikipedian in Residence and the power of utilizing open culture data. It'll be a slight overlap to presentations I've given at other library conferences, but, it'll be a chance to show off unique open culture opportunities...
If panels or other things come into fruition I'm happy to participate as well if desired. And yes, I love licensing talk ;) Thanks Phoebe for posting this. -Sarah On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 4:01 PM, Luis Villa <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 3:48 PM, phoebe ayers <[email protected]>wrote: > >> On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 3:34 PM, Luis Villa <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >>> On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 12:43 PM, phoebe ayers >>> <[email protected]>wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> >>>> For the formal conference sessions , we are interested in any and all >>>> topics related to: >>>> >>>> * Open access publishing and institutional repositories >>>> * Sustainability, scalability, and assessment of open access >>>> * Open educational resources and open access applications in the >>>> classroom >>>> * Massive open online courses (MOOCs) - copyright issues, >>>> assessment, challenges >>>> * Outreach, promotion, and overcoming resistance to open initiatives >>>> >>>> We will consider proposals for individual presentations and panels >>>> organized around a theme. >>> >>> >>> This sounds interesting - thanks for raising it, Phoebe. >>> >>> My normal material - open licensing - seems like it would be a bit >>> offtopic, so I won't submit something by myself.
