• "Building up Open Access, Open Education and Open Data for Open Science" conference in Nottingham in Sep 2014 . Details at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/osgis/home.aspx  (inspired by Warsaw conference https://conference2014.ceon.pl ). Videos and presentation slides available at the websites.
• Establishing an open data group here in Glasgow http://scot.okfn.org/tag/glasgow/ - being involved in the 2014 Access to Understanding http://europepmc.org/AccesstoUnderstanding2014 science writing competition - co-hosting our second annual publishing conference in Edinburgh (next year purely STM publishing http://www.edinpubconf.net/ - represented OK on behalf of Rufus Pollock for a key Open Science talk at Dundee University http://piclssymposium.org/2014/
• Events in Brazil, Berlin, Austria (where else?)
• Austria getting requests from universities for open science talks - events with FWF
• Publication costs queries - Austria, Hong Kong, Finland, UK, Germany, France

• Working Group Community Management (20 min)

• What is needed to grow the working group (global and local)?
• Twitter is kinda taking the action away from us. It's more immediate. It's not our fault. The mailing list is excellent but it's a different technology
• The mailing list certainly still has it's uses obviously e.g. Calls for X on the mailing list I feel are still very impactful
• Focus on concrete projects and offer opportunity to talk about practical things.
• Projects where people are doing open science toolkits.
• Include more people globally 
• 
  
• Working group calls:
•     How are they working?
•    What could we try?
• https://wiki.mozilla.org/ScienceLab/Calls
•    Any updates or thoughts yet on how to do something more timezone friendly for Asia-Pacific?
• 
  
• Open Science Ambassadors: 
• What should this scheme look like?
• What are the benefits?
• How might it fit with other schemes? e.g. Panton Fellows, Open Access Ambassadors (taken), Open Access Mentors (taken)
• Thoughts: http://wiki.okfn.org/Open_Science/Local/Guide
• admittedly published as I got a bit wiki crazy but can easily be changed -  even the Local Groups Coordinator hasn't read them yet ;)
