OLPC and CC Free Content Drive

Posted by kdawson on Friday February 15, 2008 @02:43AM from the free-as-in-books dept.

gnujoshua writes "In his blog, SJ Klein, director of community content for OLPC, notes a collaboration among Creative Commons, One Laptop per Child, and TextbookRevolution.org. They are compiling together free and CC-licensed works — and they are asking for people to help them by submitting links to free books, movies, and music. Creative Commons will be burning a LiveDVD to be distributed at South by Southwest; OLPC will be making bundles of books to send all over the world; and Textbook Revolution will be compiling a list of good and free college-level textbooks for the relaunch of their site."

Excellent! Let's package all these books, ship them off to the third world... and wonder why the kids can't read them.

OMG, the kids can't speak (or read) English? How did that happen?
