[Oer-community] Forwarded message from Fred Mulder

[Cecilia Mercado]

As somebody who was part of the first discussion on oer access and later
have been overwhelmed with the influx of information and somehow got lost
with the discussion, the suggestion of Fred is a much welcome initiative.
If an when , we are able to cluster the practices, models, research and
experiences appropriately , then this would be a great help for the
community.

best regards,
cez
