We had our first flakes of snow up here in Montreal yesterday. I don’t know what it’s like on the road between Dawson and White Horse, but I’ll wager it’s a sight colder there than it is here. Here’s Kristen with the next installment of the classic Jack London tale of adventure in the harsh world of gold-rush era Yukon.

Volunteers wanted for LibriVox
LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain in digital format, and we release the audio files back into the public
domain (catalog and podcast). We are a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project. Our objective is to make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet.
LibriVox is always looking for volunteers, to read and record chapters of books in the public domain, but also to help with other aspects of
this growing project: technical (cataloging, social networking, web design, communication); graphics; publicity; coordination of volunteers
etc etc… We have about 80 volunteers right now, more than 10 books finished, and we expect to have 30 done by the end of 2005. Right now all our titles are in English, but we hope to have other languages soon. Come help us out.

FRANCAIS:
LibriVox recherche des volontaires
LibriVox demande aux volontaires d’enregistrer des chapitres de livre du domaine publique, dans un format numérique. Nous cédons ensuite les fichiers audio au domaine publique. C’est un project complètement *open source*, volontaire, contenu libre, domaine publique. Notre objectif: avoir tous les livres du domaine publique disponibles, gratuits, dans un format audio, sur l’Internet.
LibriVox recherche toujours des volontaires, pour lire et enregistrer des chapitres, mais également pour aider avec d’autres aspects de ce
projet grandissant: gestion technique (cataloguer, conception web, communication); conception graphique; publicité; la coordination des
volontaires etc.. etc….. nous avons environ 80 volontaires en ce moment, nous avons enregistré 10 livres jusqu’à maintenant, et espérons
terminer 30 livres d’ici la fin de 2005. En ce moment tous nos titres sont en anglais, mais nous espérons entendre d’autres langues bientôt! Venez nous aider.
