Subject: [Wikimedia-SF] Wikipedia & Open Access panel discussion at WMF
Hi all,
Please join me, along with several panelists from Wikipedia and from the Open Access
movement, for a discussion next Wednesday evening at the Wikimedia Foundation offices.
In short: The Open Access movement, which questions the legitimacy of academic journals
restricting access to their contents, is largely aligned with Wikipedia. But sometimes,
their goals and tactics come into conflict.
Please note, while this is a free event, advance registration is mandatory. Further info
and registration link here:

We hope to see you next week!
-Pete
