Hi everybody,
I wanted to give you the heads up that the Wikimedia Foundation is
planning to endorse a petition to the White House to mandate open access to
taxpayer-funded research. The petition is in line with previous open access
declarations that we endorsed and is supported by a large number of
organizations including Creative Commons, the Public Library of Science and
the Open Knowledge Foundation. The White House will give a formal response
if the petition hits 25K signatures within 30 days (by June 19).
We are aiming to publish a blog post tomorrow morning PT and we put
together some FAQ explaining how the decision was made and why we want to
support this important initiative that is fully aligned with our mission.
We'll send an announcement shortly to various other community outlets.
