Thanks Simon and for putting up with some freaky thinking on Monday! I think Jim Groom is the take away in terms of finding evidence about the actuality of living in the wild open. This man knows about open and has done for along time while the rest of us are doing our best to make it respectable enough to our respective universities. That is not intended as a slight on us – the OER community is wonderful and much needed. But we need to see beyond resources. You have used the phrase ‘being open’ That’s right – it’s about Being Open.
