Hello,

did you ever hear of PirateBox? If not, Wikipedia has an article about
it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PirateBox

Today, an article by boingboing landed in my stream, telling me, that
LibraryBox, a fork of PirateBox (see http://librarybox.us/), reached
v2.0. You can read it here:
http://boingboing.net/2014/02/25/librarybox-beta-goes-2-0-self.html

Why this is interesting for Open Education?

Well, in my opinion, it's a constraint (disk space, bandwidth), creators
should consider when designing OER. Especially when planning to ship it
in emerging markets.

Moreover, the project is licensed under GPLv3:
https://github.com/LibraryBox-Dev/LibraryBox-core

But the distribution isn't that huge, yet:
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=210285754253622863442.0004caa52a55239b9b1a3&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=45.213004,-35.683594&spn=73.290293,175.605469&z=3&source=embed

I'm curious, if this project will emerge further. If you got something
to know, please forward it to me!

Regards


André
