We are collecting all the free books, movies, music, and other content that we can in the next five days! Then, on Tuesday (2/19) the [Creative Commons](http://creativecommons.org) will be burning a LiveDVD as part of [LiveContent 2.0](http://wiki.creativecommons.org/LiveContent_2.0) with big selection of CC licensed materials that we are gathering---this DVD will be distributed to events like [South by Southwest](http://sxsw.com/) and elsewhere. The bundle of books and educational resources we collect will be used by [One Laptop per Child](http://laptop.org) to send all over the world for children, families, and schools! And <textbookrevolution.org> will compiling and reviewing the best college-level resources they can find for the coming re-launch of their new, community driven site!

On Saturday, there will be a hackathon/jam at Olin college. We hope others will create jams and barcamps and jams, and we will be adding them to the list above as they do!
