Hi Priscila and Débora,
Belated congratulations!!
From Carolina Rossini’s first work on this a decade ago, you’ve secured a
huge victory, which demonstrates that focused awareness raising and
advocacy can lead to the adoption of national OER mandates, even in a
country as large and complex as Brazil. It provides a wonderful example for
other countries as well.
Would you consider writing a blog post, so the news could be shared more
widely?
All the best,
Melissa

*Subject:* Re: MEC Brazil publishes an ordinance for OER!!!
Hi folks!
Tks Jenn, Ovidiu and Alek! 😊
Everything started with our 2015 OER Seminar at House of Representatives
(Nicole, Jan and Hal were here with us). After that we have aimed our
efforts to executive branch and we managed to have a commitment about OER
in OGP Brazil. With this commitment a lot of things have started changing.
This current ordinance is the best thing that could happen. It is a rule,
an official normative. It works like a law inside the Ministry.
Note that the ordinance doesn't determine by nc. It determines use,
reuse, adaptation. The type of license will be defined in each edital,
contract etc. Depends on the characteristics of the department, the
resource that will be produced, and, mainly, the knowledge and self
confidence of the civil servants for implementation. We are still work on
this, because we want this ordinance be effective.
Cheers!

Dear Priscila,
Congratulations, this is great news. And I know that it is a result of a
long effort by you and other activists - I am very happy about your success!
How does the Ministry interpret “open licenses”? I checked in the
ordnance and it seems - with my very limited understanding of Portuguese
and automated translation - that the definition is good and suggests the
most open licenses. Do you know which ones the Ministry will in practice
promote and use? Did you have a debate about the non-commercial condition?
Best,
Alek

Dear Open Education friends,
*Definitely, "**Good things come to those who wait" *
I'm writing just to let you know of important news here in Brazil. This
is the most important in the recent times!
The Ministry of Education of Brazil has just published an ordinance that
determines that all educational resources paid for by the ministry which
are to be used in basic education must be openly licensed and use open
format/standards whenever possible. This will have huge impact on the
number of educational resources available in Portuguese for this sector.
Resources will be made available in a new open-source repository (
http://plataformaintegrada.mec.gov.br).
A small note is published here in english, as part of our work on the
open education initiative:

Greetings Open Education friends,
I'm proud to announce that we from Brazil Open Education Initiative
<http://www.aberta.org.br/> are going to launch the biggest Brazilian
action for OER training we've heard.
In April, the first edition of the OER course
<http://www.cursorea.net.br/>for Open University Brazil Program (UAB)
from Ministry of Education expects to reach more than 300 participants. In
this action we are engaging federal universities professors and police
makers to foster the open education concept in order to make the practice
come true. UAB is the official federal program to provide higher education
to the basic education teachers (15% out of 2 millions teachers). The
second edition, scheduled for September, will be dedicated to OER
facilitators training.
Link to the official news (in portuguese):
http://www.capes.
gov.br/sala-de-imprensa/noticias/8783-capes-promove-curso-
sobre-recursos-educacionais-abertos
At the same time, and as part of the course, we will release to the
general public our OER referatory platform *RE-li-A* (Recursos
Educacionais com licenças Abertas), we emphasize *"li"* because all
resources available on the platform must have be under an open license. It
is a wordpress platform and the code are at git.hub — it could be used by
any school or educational institution who wants to index their own
resources. RE-li-A was built by us with support from a crowdfunding
campaign. And the great news is: *RE-li-A is fully integrated with
Ministry of Education Platform:*
https://plataformain
tegrada.mec.gov.br/usuario-publico/332/
However, we have to raise funds to continue work on *RE-li-A project.*
I'd like to ask you about suggestions of funding opportunities.
I appreciate your attencion!
All the best!
