Abstract
"It's not communism, it's only open access", "There are two open access communities: the uploaders and the downloaders" and "Pick your favourite boundary. Push it". These were just three of the provocative comments made at the recent Berlin 10 Open Access Conference hosted for the first time on the African continent. The conference was held in Stellenbosch, hosted by Stellenbosch University, from 6 – 8 November 2012, with the theme "Networked scholarship in a networked world: participation in open access". The name of the conference derives from Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities which was written at the first meeting 10 years ago in Germany. The Declaration has since been signed by 405 universities.
