Hello,

Anyone who does anything should post it at
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access/Open_Access_Week_2013#United_States>

I am presenting on both days of a weekend for InfoCamp in Seattle, which is a small conference (700 people?) where people in information sciences tell stories in layman terms to fans, mostly students and people interested in popular science. There are not many places where a conference like this would work but it does work in Seattle because of lots of people working in software and science in a small city, and because there is an established community of several thousand people who dependably attend layman science talks for entertainment.

At the conference I will be training people to use Wikipedia and telling them to use Wikipedia as platform for disseminating ideas.

This is happening the second weekend of October, so I likely will do something later also.

Hi all,
what do you plan to do for the incoming Open Access Week?

Lane was saying that he'd like to work on the OA page on Wikipedia,

and I think it's a *great* idea.

We could concentrate our effort during the Open Access Week, for example.

In Italy, we will have an hackathon in the National Library of Florence:
during that day, we will speak a lot about Wikidata, authority control and other things,

but i would like to have a little "editathon" on the Open Access article too.
We could translate the English version, for example, and rearrange our Italian article.

It's not a very original idea,

but I think it's important.

Do you have other plans?

Aubrey
