[Open-education] Fwd: Help Us Build the Open Coalition

Fri May 9 20:40:10 UTC 2014

Hi Pat,

That's an advert for the post that has now been filled by Bekka Kahn. 
The post was drafted by a group of open organisations including 
Wikimedia, Creative Commons, P2PU and Open Knowledge.

The wiki page (which is very new - more info will be added) has details 
on the Open Coalition Project 
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Open_Coalition 
<https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Open_Coalition>which is being launched on 
the 19th in London.

It's all very new stuff that has been mainly discussed by email so far - 
but hopefully good things on the horizon.
