I finished the drafting - if you have a good picture of OA at Wikimania 2013 or 2014, please add it: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/August_2013/Contents/Ope... .
Thanks, d.

Dear all,
every month, the Wiki-GLAM community compiles a newsletter on recent activities: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter . Since January 2012 - when WikiProject Open Access was founded - it has included a report on the project's activities: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:This_Month_in_GLAM_Open_Access_... .
The newsletter is usually being posted on the 7th day of the following month (sometimes a few hours or days later), and our reports tend to reach on the order of a hundred people that way over the days following that.
I would appreciate if you could chime in on the drafting of these reports each month. I have started the entry for August at https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/August_2013/Contents/Ope... . Given that the July report was rather short due to my mishaps on the way to Wikimania, we can also think of adding a few July bits if you like - the OA signalling and OA button initiatives would perhaps be good candidates here.
Thanks and cheers,
Daniel
