Whither Norway?

Posted on September 1, 2009 by | Posted in about LibriVox, For Volunteers, News | Comments: 18 Comments on Whither Norway?

I got an email the other day asking for Norwegian LibriVox recordings. I thought: “surely there must be.”

Turns out there is not.

There are Swedish and Danish and even Finnish recordings, but none in Norwegian.

What gives, Norway? We’d love to have you … join us, it’s fun!

SXSW Panel: When Every Book Is Connected

Posted on August 19, 2009 by | Posted in about LibriVox, News | Comments: Comments Off on SXSW Panel: When Every Book Is Connected

My colleague, co-founder, and the chief architect and getter-doner at Book Oven, Stephanie Troeth has proposed a moderated panel at SXSW this year called:

Beyond Publishing: When Every Book is Connected to Everyone

We have an all-star line-up who have agreed to join us (if SXSW agrees to give us some space to talk):

The description of the panel is as follows:

What happens when every book is online, linkable, and connected to every writer and every reader? What happens when the book is liberated from being words on paper, unbound from a format that’s two thousand years old? What happens to how we read and how we write?

For more info, or to comment on or vote for the panel (please do!), see here.
