Abstract
As an OpenUCT intern I was excited to attend my first major Open Access conferences - Open Access Africa and Berlin 10. It was the first chance I have had to hear a wide range of perspective and views from the speakers and participants, several of whom I follow on Twitter and/or whose blogs I read. There is much debate going on in the open access space with several diverse perspectives being put forward and it was a good opportunity to actually witness the discussion unfold in person. There were two back to back conferences with overlapping agendas and themes. In this posting I'll reflect on the themes from the Open Access Africa Conference, and in the next from the Berlin 10 conference.
