A big thank you to all who have tweeted and shared ideas in these slides

Openness..can be confusing

• Open Access versus Free Access• Open Data versus free to download• Open Source and all of its “licenses”

• This session likely won’t clear up all questions!!!• We intend to encourage more openness though!• And if you choose not to..we want to know why?
