[sudo-discuss] [Noisebridge-discuss] sci/med journal access in hackerspaces?

[Pete Forsyth]

I seem to have missed a couple things here!

Garrett, the reg form was in the original link
<http://wikistrategies.net/oa-wikipedia-panel> I posted...but never fear,
here is your reminder anyway! (If you were hoping to attend in person,
registration is formally closed, but you could email me offlist and I can
probably get you on the list.)

Here is the live streaming link (which will magically convert to an archive
video after the fact, too). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-cF7433aT4

Vicky, I do hope to bring up hacker space access, but I can't promise. (You
can also ask a question during the event, by tweet or by joining Freenode
IRC -- either one using #oaw15sf )

Hope to see some hacker faces, either in person or virtually!
-Pete
