Dear all,

Last week, we have published our Impact Report for the year 2015, and I would like to draw your attention to some of the learnings and experiences we shared in this comprehensive document. We consider these APG reports as an essential channel for the movement’s international communication and cooperation; they underline our intention of being a learning partner for the movement.

I invite you to read the report if
* you would like to learn how a multi-stakeholder approach can lead to policy change in the EU;[1]
* you are curious about our new “attribution generator” which generates attribution text based on the original Creative Commons license and the intended use, for anyone planning to reuse image files from Commons and Wikipedia; [2, 3]
* you would like to find out how Wikidata is playing an increasing role in Wikipedia improving its quality;[4]
* you are interested in hearing about how we plan to spread the gospel about Open Science;[5]
* you wanna know more about the concept of supporting volunteers locally so that they can connect and leverage with partners, networks and institutions;[6]
* you wonder how we paved the way for a widespread use of Open Educational Resources in all educational arenas[7] or if
* our plan to create a productive and sustainable conference series that focuses on working, thinking, and learning together sounds exemplary to you.[8]

We have also included links to 40 learning patterns, tutorials, talks, reports, and policy or scientific papers we created throughout 2015 and we consider a fruitful read.[9]

If you have questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to get in touch, either directly or via the talk pages. If you are not sure whom to best reach out to, contact me and I will connect you with my colleagues.

Happy reading!

Nicole
