Here's a audio interview that I've found quite interesting. It doesn't have to do with OLPC but it does mention a lot of the same things about education and technology. [http://www.abc.net.au/queensland/conversations/stories/s1965836.htm?queensland Link] |

Here's the links to the Librivox audiobooks I've converted to speex so far. Please leave a comment or email me if theres a book which you recommend I convert from [http://librivox.org/ here] or elsewhere. There's a selection of speex encoded books already [http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/1 here], though they were done with an earlier version of the encoder. If anyone is interested the files here are 16000 Hz, Mono encoded at quality 1 vbr with speexenc version 1.2 beta. I'm not currently uploading individual files at the moment as I'm trying to make content bundles instead. |
