Site launch
June 22nd, 2007
Welcome to Open Text Book - a place to list and keep track of news about textbooks that are open in accordance with the Open Knowledge Definition - i.e. free to use, reuse, and redistribute. While in the future we may post text book content, for now the site will be mainly used as a registry.
The recent iCommons Summit in Dubrovnik, Croatia, saw many people express an interest in open text books. Information about the questions and issues raised can be found on the WikiEducator Free Textbooks page. Join the Free Culture freetextbooks mailing list if you want to get involved!
