Visiting Ljubljana to give a talk on the Open Knowledge Day, we caught up with Jan Gerlach, senior public policy manager at the Wikimedia foundation.

We talked about the ever-changing face of the digital environment, the role different actors play in different scenarios and the current developments related to the copyright directive will have on the future of the internet.
