Summer of Content

OLPC is built around the idea that everyone is a creator, and that creativity and understanding improve when they are shared. Open source software is part of this; open content is another. To paraphrase Karsten Wade:

What do software developers have to teach creators of other content? What do other content creators have to teach developers? What are the traditions that should be honored here, in the way that the FOSS and free licensing communities honor the idea of common spaces where creativity is shared, inspired, and grown?

We are drafting ideas for a regular 'summer of content' project -- focusing on summers in the southern hemisphere as much as in the north; on local creation in developing nations; and on providing an outlet for creators devoting energy to freely licensed content and for organizations that want to support this creation.
