That's good Wayne, Not sure if just putting together a journal would move things along from a practical perspective. But I'm with you on attempting to bring all the "opens' together. Just "open access" has different applications for network managers and content managers. Just check out that "An Illustration of an intiative for open Access from one (NREN) network managers perspective " discussion on one of my FB groups<https://www.facebook.com/groups/197860856892050/>(mainly people from the Library and information Science domain).
One group who may be of interest to OER member's here is this initiative<http://www.software.ac.uk/open-call>. Primarily as they have an interest in developing software and Wikieducator could use people who can add some value to the environment here. i.e. Not just attempt to use off-the-shelf commodity products like a wiki or google group/hangouts, etc. They've got a pretty good pedigree in the network/grid space to, so we might have some chance of bring the web stuff to some serious network grunt. BTW. This is an interesting one<http://venture-lab.stanford.edu/education>in the development of online learning spaces. So far as Open Governance, I'm hoping this one might grow legs<http://www.crossover-project.eu/Home.aspx>as it's a continuation of a bunch of enquiries which have been <http://daa.ec.europa.eu/> funded out of the EU. Mind you, with what you did for OERu mee<http://wikieducator.org/OER_university/2011.11_OERu_Meeting_Agenda>t is pretty good. I'm sure if we = OER, OCWC, etc = could run a regular series of distributed conferences (i.e. link between groups of F2F conferences, and keep a record in the one domain, it might help the (NREN) network guys to systemize their pipes around global groups rather than national institutions. You know my perspective. I view all the "open" stuff going on as (primarily) an attempt to align broadcast, and interactive, media in order to support global disciplinary groups who are aggregating and distributing content, and systemize their virtual spaces so they can be found by people with similar interests. Eventually economics is real the driver<http://lnkd.in/XCdDUz>. My 2 cents. All the best. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
