I am sure that Tim Seal and Jonathan Darby (here at the London event today) will have something to say about the OE SIG presently. But given the quantity and quality and diversity of submissions to OER13 there is a huge interest in continuing to add to and share evidence and experiences around OER. Many of the submissions centre on wok whhich originated as part of the UK OER programme, but not all. David Kernohan has been mentioning the S-word (sustainability). The spread outwards in well on the way, and on this list joining with other activity and activity beyond the UK.
Long may this list prosper and grow. I am sure it will. We all have lots to share and know how to share nicely :-)

I am presenting on UKOER to Lindon health librarians today so can't be at the meeting either.
I would hope that this list will stay open and active if nothing else.....

At one of the early planning meetings someone (Andy Powell, I think) said that one measure of whether the programme was successful could be the widespread recognition of UKOER / OER as an idea within UK F&HE and the existence of a community around it. I'm pretty sure that has happened, not just because of UKOER but we were there and helped. So well done all of us :)

What will happen over the next few years by way of sustained release and which practices are sustainable? Also, of course, from a CETIS point of view, what technologies can help?
