Knowledgemaze is a blog for ideas in the making, thought processes and initial articulations surrounding access to knowledge. Through the Egyptian and global community of academics, researchers, techies, journalists and activists concerned with the question of access to knowledge, we present writings and conversations about the range of possibilities that render knowledge accessible as well as challenges and regimes that circumvent this access. Examples of issues include innovation, development, data, internet governance, copyrights, free and open source software, and open licensing.
