Hello offliners!
In case you didn't know it, we hosted a session at Wikimania to talk about
access as it is impacted by the cost of data. Offline access is one of the
potential solutions to bridge that gap.
Jorge Vargas led the panel, which I was on alongside Stephane
Coillet-Matillon (Kiwix), Adam Holt (Internet in a Box), Florence Devuoard
(Wikifundi + Wiki Loves Women + more), and James Heilman (Wikimedicine
Project + Wikimedia Foundation board).
We had a great discussion and it was, for me, a great kickoff into the
off.network hackathon the following day.
I've published notes from the session here for those of you who are
interested:

As always, let me/us know if you have any questions or follow up comments.
I look forward to continued collaboration in the future!
Anne
