Members of the Global Open Knowledge Hub (http://okhub.org/) partnership gathered at the Universityof Sussex in Brighton from 21 to 23 October for its annual meeting. The three day meeting allowed partners to present updates, share challenges and formulate next steps for the project. Participants also received an update from the organisers on development GOKH tools which included the GOKH widget which can be installed on partner portals to show GOKH documents. Discussions were also centred on open access, open data, open information, open knowledge, open science, open software and open algorithms.
