Blog postHi M,
How was your day? How are you?
Just emailed what I think is an important letter to Katherine Maher, head of the Wikimedia Foundation SF, Stephen LaPorte, a Legal Director there, and Lydia Pintscher, Product Manager of Wikidata - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/wikimedia-and-world-university-and.html - and who I think helped facilitated WUaS getting our new Miraheze Mediawiki in August -

Blog postHello Scott,
I have worked a bit more on those WUaS logos. Here are the results:
WUaS Logo 9 = I added 2 grey lines and changed the centre colour.
WUaS Logo 10 = The blue looks slightly "fresher" and the 3 grey lines give the logo a little depth.
I am not sure about the "WUaS" logo or "WWW" logo in the centre of logo 10.
Both logos have a transparent background, so you don't get the ugly white square around it.

Blog postDear PJ, Nigam, Keith (and Jonathan),
Thank you for your fascinating Stanford “Health Policy Forum | How far should scientists go with data sharing? A debate about open science” panel - https://events.stanford.edu/events/702/70229/. It inspired a number of ideas and questions that I’ve outlined below - as a further expression of open science. (I know Jonathan here – who is, I think, the newest Stanford Professor of Medicine, from Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds, - and next t -

Blog postDear Katherine, (and Stephen and Lydia),
I'm glad to say that World University and School recently began developing in Miraheze Mediawiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org (in August) - and will soon potentially be in all 295 languages of Wikipedia, as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, and then as online major universities in nation states' official languages. This came about partly because WUaS donated itself to Wikidata in October 2015, and then began developi -

How are you and how are things winding down? Do you leave tomorrow or the next day, or might you remain another week (for what some have said is the nicest week on Cuttyhunk because of its quietness - a kind of big releasing after a busy summer, but with people still on island - the relative warmth, and often great weather ... )?

Blog postRoss,
Great to talk with you again after Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds today. As I think further about your potential interest in an online course on Scottish literature or Scottish history - it would be great to explore communication with the former chancellor, and your friend from while studying there, at the University of Glasgow in these regards. (Do I have this correct?). While I think you might have some good ideas about the kind of course you might be interested in - and be -

Blog postLots of possibilities, though a lot of it ends up being more of a governance (people) issue than technical.

Blog postHi Jonathan,
Thanks so much for your email, and sorry you can't join the WUAS Corporation Board at this time.

And could WUaS do this in conjunction with Stanford Medicine and Stanford Law (and with MIT communities too)?
