The Smithsonian news was great.
Also had great timing, as my grad seminar *just* finished a week on open.

Dear Cable.
Always good to hear from you.
Sad to hear of the death from COVID 19.
Very good news about Smithsonian.
There is a photo of a rather dapper looking chap in a suit who resembles you! :-D
Good going.
Cheers
Paul

Greetings Open Education Colleagues:

With all the bad COVID-19 news (my Governor declared a "state of emergency" yesterday), I want to share some good news.

Creative Commons (+Wikimedia, Google Labs, Smithsonian's OA team and more) helped the Smithsonian adopt an open access policy and dedicate 2.8 million works into the public domain using CC0.

... and it was good fun to meet and discuss the Smithsonian's Open Access Initiative with Secretary Bunch.
Warm regards,

Cable
