Profile Information

Are you participating in OAWeek 2018? (You can update this later): Just gathering information

First name: Ron

Last name: Mader

Organization/institution name: Planeta.com

Type of institution: Publisher

What's your position?: Publisher

What's the level of OA awareness where you are?: Low

What are your goals for OA Week?: I'd like to learn the basics and acquaint myself with the ideas. In particular I work with international organizations, academics and marginalized indigenous communities who share serious questions about protecting legal rights. I have no clue how to translate the ideas I've heard about OA so that it would make sense to colleagues.

For background on my work and interests, here's the workshop I led in 2012 at the global Biodiversity Convention http://planeta.wikispaces.com/cop11web

Also, here's the Planeta Wiki page about Open Access

How did you hear of the OA Week site?: Thank you, Twitter!

Translating 'Set the default to open'

Greetings, all! I have two big questions for the Open Access community:

1) What type font does Open Access use in its logo? If possible, I'd like to match it in some of the fan art I'm making for the big week.

2) How do you translate the seminal phrase 'Set the default to open' in other languages? I'd like to start with Spanish ('Establecer el valor predeterminado a abierto') but I…
