Nov 8: Open Knowledge Day - WikiDay in Hanoi

Hosted by Wikipedia Vietnam and co-organized by VLOS (Vietnamese Library of Science), BaamBoo Dictionary , this event is to promote the idea of “Open Knowledge” for everyone in Vietnam. Well, it sounds interesting esp. when Copyright Violation is one of the hottest topic in Vietnam at the moment.
