I also attended this meeting and subsequently wrote to the British
Council suggesting they might try to find a slot at the WSIS meeting for
a debate about open access and open source systems. There seems to be a
growing concern about the importance of maintaining these tools for the
benefit of those unable to pay for commercial journals or software.
Several attendees seemed interested in this issue.
