There are many new faces in Cambridge, and now a pretty steady off-hours crew which includes Bernie
(who is addicted to videogame music remixes), Joshua Gay (FSF campaign manager, textbook activist, stet demon)
Bernie has recently come to Cambridge to work from the office, and has introduced video game music 
remixes to our jukebox queue.
=== free texts ===
Joel Thierstein from Connexions and Jessamyn West visited on Friday; good conversations were had 
around texts and modular materials.  CNX has some interesting new Physics modules - checking to
see if FHSST has time to integrate with their own work; they've gotten involved with 
Curriki, so the project is certainly alive.  Ben Crowell has an excellent set of
"light and matter" physics texts up as well, which mesh nicely 
with the 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.
=== free culture ===
a Free Culture Cambridge is starting an open space for collaboration, creation, and contribution to open
content projects.  We're starting weekly gatherings Mondays, at a place to be determined soon; if you
are interested in joining, send a note to sj@laptop.  Early initiatives will include getting OurStories
off the ground, developing swag and materials about free culture spaces and OLPC, and launching searches
for suitable spaces in 6 countries.

is extremely cloudy!  Ryan Trinkle is working on a reference implementation of message passing that 
could serve as support for a distributed filestore, or a way to exchange queues of requests and
responses (for searches for texts, posts to offline fora or wikis, or apps such as meshboard)
== todos ==
Starting a generic community todo list.  Please contribute community efforts that you do
each day, or would see done; or things that need doing (like welcoming new users, reviewing RC, blogging).
In the spirit of the OLPC planet, there are some blogs starting on this wiki.

== wiki and activities ==
Wiki gardening: Lauren has been adding metadata on the wiki about activities and 
other projects.  If you maintain a project or package, or are working on interface or other designs, 
please add a page about your work, and a small infobox with source and author information.  
Userpages: It is also good to set up a userpage describing who you are and what you do.  If you have 
an XO, you might take a photo with your camera and upload it.  Example wikipages: User:Xavi, 
User:Php5, User:Lauren
