Hey everyone, just a small note about Noteshub. At the moment myself and Simon from the FCa are meeting other relevant student organisations on campus to see how the Malta SFC chapter can collaborate on future events or projects. During last Friday's meeting with the editorial board of The Insiter (the print publication of Insite<http://insite.org.mt/>, which is the student media powerhouse on campus) we proposed that their March edition shall feature a piece written by me on Noteshub as a Students for Free culture project. The same piece will also appear on www.insiteronline.com in the coming days. I'm making it clear that the Malta chapter will be focusing a lot on open access education so Noteshub is an ideal project to promote in line with our local aims.
