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?

What project(s) could we progress in Open Science and report at #SciO14?

What projects can we launch HERE at Scio13 and monitor/measure for impact of Open Science
