[OpenGLAM] Open Gallery by Google

Wed Dec 11 13:31:20 UTC 2013

This is why I think it could be a very useful role for the OKF (or someone)
to have some kind of 'Openness Award" they can grant to organizations, or
even some form of it that can call attention to projects that seem open but
don't meet the Open Definition.  Such an effort would yield press awareness
over time, and change as well.
