Hi all,
while telling my WMDE colleagues what great highlights and wonderful
sessions happened at Wikimania, I was trying to find *any* recording of
"The Big Open", the conversation/panel between Katherine, Ryan Merkley
(Creative Commons), and Mark Surman (Mozilla).
As I didn't find anything: Did someone take notes? Recorded anything? It's
not even listed on
https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/All_Session_Notes
Thank you
Cornelius
