Hello everyone,
Open Access Week http://www.openaccessweek.org/page/about is coming up soon, from 20-26 October. Does anyone have any ideas about how we might participate in this event, or help to promote the important idea of open access?
All ideas welcome.
Stevie

Tricky. The traditional approach is featured articles but it is unlikely one could be created in time.
Might be able to get something like

or
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Multiple_Dendrogramma.png
Through featured pictures mind.
A talk on what open access journals are out there that wikipedians could cite might be of interest (PLOS one is great but it isn't my field).
I'm very open to doing a guest blog post on the theme on open access. It would be nice if in time for that week we could get a few different posts together from academic Wikipedians. I'll see what I can do. Can we nudge CRUK/ Royal Society/ RSC ? Failing that, we could consider reposting or transcribing the OA-related sessions from Wikimania to remind people just how good they were.

Great idea Martin. Copying in John Byrne and Andy Mabbett, the two Wikimedians in Residence in question, as they may have something to add. Also Bekka Kahn, co-ordinator of the Open Coalition, as she might have some thoughts too.

I'll raise this when I start at RSC, next week.

The Scottish play? Hamlet? Romeo and Juliet? The Tempest?
Perhaps a lead role?

It's a new piece, set in a vacant infobox. Seven Unicode characters are in
search of an editor. A bit Becket crossed with Ionesco: futility, random pachyderms and vandalism, and Act I is reverted while the safety curtain is down. But I'm telling you the plot ...
