[okfn-discuss] The Open Handbook - a One Week Book project

Mon Dec 10 09:17:22 UTC 2012

John,

Fiurst of all one week book - this makes 52 Books/year? 

I do think that the topic of openness can use more well written advocacy
material from different perspectives. 

One thing I believe is crucial these days is to look at the copyright
debate as well: How can we make our standard ways more open? 

A resource for this would be lawrence lessigs free culture:
        http://free-culture.cc/freecontent/

Will spam you more if more comes in mind.

Michael
