I’m sure I’ll blog about it if I attend…I make no promises on quality though J
Might be informative to the list to see Martin’s comments on OER13 http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/04/open-educational-resources-some-reflections-on-oer-13/ I was actually looking to see if there was a paper too but couldn’t find it – Martin? I guess I also wonder what you think about how useful attending was/would be?
Cheers
Simon

I would love to return to the OER conference, and I'll have time because my Jisc project will be over, but it's hundreds of pounds to send a volunteer and I've already had a turn. Hence my raising it here.
Simon, if you go to the Distance Education event, might you write up another of your excellent blog posts?

Two more items of news that may interest this list:
The Open Educational Resources conference will be in Newcastle in April and it has an open call for papers until November 22nd. http://oer14.org/ This is one of the focal points for the open education movement in the UK.
I gave a presentation and a stall there this year and my attendance was supported by Wikimedia UK: http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/04/open-educational-resources-some-reflections-on-oer-13/
