Abstract
Detailed proposal

This session will provide an overview of these interactions, focusing on

  1. the coverage of Open Access and related topics across Wikimedia projects
  2. the reuse of materials from Open Access sources across Wikimedia projects
  3. off-wiki activities pertaining to both the Wikimedia and Open Access communities

Much of the material to be presented here has been covered (or will have been so by then) in the This Month in GLAM Open Access reports, so the purpose of this session is mainly to provide a synthesis, to point out highlights and to discuss how to move forward.
