Dear friends in the open world

We're insanely proud to announce the launch of the Open Coalition - a
collaborative project for all organisations working in the open space.

Since late 2013 is has been apparent that many organisations working in the
field of open share areas of overlap. The Coalition aims to eliminate
duplication, keep lines of communication between organisations and
communities strong and open and help develop closer ties between open
groups.

The project has been initially funded by Wikimedia UK, and is proud to
include Creative Commons, Open Knowledge and Open Streetmap as first-phase
collaborators.

In order to celebrate this exciting new collaboration, we'd like to invite
any organisations in London to an Open Coalition Meet & Greet:
When: Mon, May 19, 4pm
Where: Wikimedia UK Office and online
Why? To help us start building the Open Coalition

We'll also have a dial-in set up for those who are outside the UK, so
everyone can take part.


Can't make it to the Meet & Greet? There are some simple things you can do
to get involved and help us build the coalition:

as it grows
