We met from 9 am in the new LIMS building, on the second floor, room 205. There was tea and coffee, and time to mingle and settle in. The introductory session started at 9.30 am.

Ruth Jelley began the day with some background on how the open conference came about, supported by John Hannon who explained the structure of the day. Both Ruth and John situated where we thought La Trobe University was in relation to open education resources and practices.
