All across the Reclaim Hosting community faculty and students are working on the open web, using open source tools and platforms... and producing open knowledge. From the influential student newspaper that recently won our Student Showcase Award to the pioneering digital scholarship featured in our case study of the Center for Digital Scholarship at Brown University Library we LOVE to support all things open.

This week we are excited to join in celebrating one of the most important pieces of open knowledge infrastructure worldwide as Wikipedia turns 25!

Join in with the official celebrations on Thursday

We'll be watching the official #Wikipedia25 birthday celebration on January 15:
