OpenCon community calls give a chance for you to learn what's happening in open research and education around the world, share what you're doing and find collaborators and opportunities. 

Call Agenda

In addition to our normally scheduled agenda items, news, project updates and conference updates, we’re also going to discuss Open Education Week. Open Education Week is 7-11th of March and we hope many of you will be taking action, big or small, during the week. Nicole Allen, SPARC’s director of Open Education, will join us for the call to discuss how you can get involved in the week. We’ll then open the floor for people to ask questions about getting  the week, discuss what they’re up to and more.

You can find all the proposed agendas and minutes from the community calls in one place, right here. The best way to share this link is with: http://bit.ly/OpenConCommunityCalls

What to expect

Community calls are always friendly, and we love new faces. The more you participate, the more you'll get out of it! No doubt there will be a lot of this too.
