[Open-access] Asia-Pacific Open Science Call (was Open Science Census)

Thu Nov 27 14:31:16 UTC 2014

Hooray! I've been whinging about this for ages, so in return very happy to
be added to the rota. If you don't find enough names I can arm twist 1-2
others in HK, but would be great to spread it around and hear more from
other countries out here. In case we get any Chinese participants, for this
APAC group it would also be helpful to avoid communicating with any
platforms blocked behind the great firewall (googledocs, wordpress and
youtube in particular).

Viva the Asia Pacific open science revolution! Or coming one anyway.
