Hello,

On Thursday, May 17, students get a sneak peek at some of our exhibits
and workshops as Maker Faire is being set up for the weekend. Also, at
OSCON this year there will be an Open Edu track and they're looking for
speakers. By the way, you'll want to check out our recent podcasts, if
you haven't already. There's some great stuff in there. Speaking of
great stuff, have you seen our freely available Open Books? These titles
include our Community Press books, written collectively by communities
like yours.

Cheers,

--Marsee Henon & Jon Johns
