Open Access at Wikimania; Signalling OA-ness
Wikimania
For this year's Wikimania, a panel on Wikimedia and Open Access has been proposed within the Open Scholarship track, and several proposals on that theme are in the making. The call for submissions is open until March 31.
Signalling OA-ness
The Signalling OA-ness project - which aims to mark scholarly references cited on Wikipedia as to how open they actually are - has focused on drafting and refining specifications for the planned workflows, as detailed on GitHub.
