[okfn-discuss] Next meeting of Open Textbook Groups?

Fri Feb 27 15:14:28 UTC 2009

Dear Judy,

We'd love to be involved in another open textbook meetup. Will the
event be virtual as with the previous meetups? If so, you are of
course more than welcome to use the OKF IRC channel for this, if this
is helpful. You're also welcome to build on the wiki pages we already
have. Perhaps we could have an 'organisations' section, with the CCOTP
+ OKF logos on it?

I'd be willing to help out, however I can!

(I hope you don't mind, I've carbon copied this to the okfn-discuss
list - so that other potentially interested parties can see this!)

Warm regards,

Jonathan
