[Open-access] APAC Monthly Open Science Calls

Fri Jan 16 10:01:13 UTC 2015

Hi all,

We are doing quite well with people expressing an interested and adding
their details to the hackpad for the second Open Science APAC call next
Wednesday (21st Jan at 8am UTC). Seems so far we'll have attendees from
Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, India, Australia and Thailand (Naureen?), and
good representation and likely discussion on open hardware and open access
topics. Plus OKFnAu would like to let us know their plans on potential
OKCon APAC meetings. Be great to get some more countries involved, so if
you want to join and haven't added your skype details and discussion points
to the hackpad please do:
