There are many new faces in Cambridge, and now a pretty steady off-hours crew which includes Bernie

Bernie has recently come to Cambridge to work from the office, and has introduced video game music
remixes to our jukebox queue.

Joel Thierstein from Connexions and Jessamyn West visited on Friday; good conversations were had
around texts and modular materials. [http://www.cnx.org CNX] has some interesting new Physics modules - checking to
see if [http://www.fhsst.org FHSST] has time to integrate with their own work; they've gotten involved with
[http://www.curriki.org Curriki], so the project is certainly alive. Ben Crowell has an excellent set of

with the [http://wikieducator.org wikieducator] philosophy.


We are talking about a space to list status and qualities of existing free and collaborative
text projects - perhaps a rebirth of freetextbookproject itself. Advocates needed for travel
in publishing and creative circles.
