Dear OAI and Open Access Community!

Wikimedia, the foundation supporting Wikipedia and its
sister projects, is hosting the Wikimania 2005 conference in
Frankfurt, Germany (August 5-7). Wikimania is a global
gathering of the Wikimedia community to discuss wikis,
large-scale collaboration, free content,
internationalization, bridging the global divide etc.

We would like to invite a speakers for a speech or workshop
about OAI, Open Access and collaboration. OAI is little
known in the Wikimedia community (or only known as just
another protocol) and both the Open Access movement and the
Open Content movement could benefit from getting to know
each other more deeply. As far as I remember I once heard a
rousing talk from  Herbert Van de Sompel - that's what we
are looking for ;-) OAI is not just a protocol but a
philosophy of sharing and building an infrastructure of
local and independent data and service providers. So take
the chance and present your vision to around 400 attendees
form all over the world!

Feel free to send this message to who may be interested in.
The Call for papers is located at

the official conference website will be launched soon at

Sincerely,

Jakob Voss
