* Date: Saturday, May 17th * Time: 12:00 -- 4:00 EST * Place: OLPC 1 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142 * Contact: Joshua Gay * IRC: irc.freenode.net #textbookrevolution
Help us (re)create TextbookRevolution.org! We need your help relaunching the site, which is scheduled to go live on May 24th.
We'd love to see the following folks join us for the Jam:
* People who love knowledge enough to do data entry (we will provide
coffee, both at the Jam and virtually in IRC)
* Savvy web designers willing to help make our templates and pages
look great!
* Systems Administrators to make sure our server continues to hum
speedily along!
* Comedians and jokers to help keep things lively!
* Masters of Ontology to help us make sure our semantic metadata is
well formed!
* IRC friends to help keep things going so we can make a worldwide
effort!
The focus of the new site is not only to be Wiki-based, but it is also focused on bringing together the various free textbook projects out there by sharing metadata, using distributed annotation/review tools, and well, just opening up conversations and making and active effort to share when we can! For those not in the Boston area, you can join us on IRC in #textbookrevolution on i--Jgay 22:56, 12 May 2008 (EDT)rc.freenode.net.
