5. Big idea! Let’s do a Resource Guides Sprint focused on subject guides built in Mediawiki something in July. ACTION: Leva to look for venue and do a Doodle to BCOER on date.
6. Another Big Idea! Erin gathering partners to organize and offer the Open Access week in October jointly with UBC ACTION: Leva to attend meeting and see where we (BCcampus or BCOER) can participate/help; Note: some way for people at a distance to tap in would be great via streaming video/audio
7. Hold on to this Idea: We have forums we can facilitate off our WP site on open where we can communicate with each other and faculty; Caroline & Leva decided we can play with this first and look at making it available in Fall 2015
