It was great to meet so many people doing positive things in OER and there was general feeling that we had moved from a state of "Why should we do this?" to "Why aren't we doing this?"
Another theme that arose was around the contextualisation of OER. A lot of institutions were moving from consumer to producer and in that process started to think about context, how to re-contextualise OER. A lot of this projects talked solely about translation but some went further into re-representing the content from a cultural point of view. Just to re-enforce this the declaration itself was translated into Spanish by the delegates before the end of the congress.
