On October 7-10, in the city of Stockholm, Sweden, there will be events and festivities culminating in an awards ceremony on October 10. We are seeking someone to attend these events to represent Project Gutenberg, preferably someone who lives in Europe. If you are interested in this opportunity to represent Project Gutenberg, please email hart@pobox.com *** Requests For Assistance: Can anyone here find a pre-1923 English edition of the Gilgamesh Epic? *** We are seeking a physical copy of the book RUR in Czeck by Karel Capek, published in 1920-1922. These copies are hard to find, but available at the U. Nebraska Lincoln, Texas A&M, U. Texas Austin, NY Public Library & Waseda University. If you are near these and can compare the eBook we have against the physical book, please contact Greg Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>. *** Aaron Cannon is looking for any pre-1923 English/foreign Language dictionaries that can be added to the archive. He is especially interested in English/Spanish Spanish/English dictionaries, but any language is acceptable. If you have any of these lying about, or if you know where they can be had for less than $20, please contact Aaron at cannona@fireantproductions.com *** The Distributed Proofreading Team is proud to annouce that they have now completed over 400 e-texts! Stop on by and give us a hand with the next 400! http://charlz.dns2go.com/gutenberg *** Project Gutenberg has a new way to prepare digital editions of books which can not be read on a conventional flat bed scanner. Brewster Kahle has generously donated time on The Internet Archive's (http://www.archive.org) Minolta 7100 orbital scanner http://bpg.minoltausa.com 02 While its physical location in San Francisco at the Presidio effectively limits access to people local to the area, we can offer a limited scanning service. Ideal candidate projects would be large format (up to 17" by 23"), fragile or rare books which cannot be unbound. Specifically, when scanned, the book is opened to lay flat on its spine, and is well supported on 2 variable height platens, producing a level surface upon which the overhead scanhead focuses. Pages can be scanned singly or in tandem, with resolution ranging from 300-600 dpi, depending upon the size of the scan area. (400 is the max resolution at max size). The correction software for eliminating center lines and curved pages is outstanding. While not as fast as a sheet feeder, it is physically less demanding to use than a flat bed scanner, and of course is much kinder to delicate pages and bindings. Contact me if this sounds like something you can use! *** I have some copyright research for McNees, but no email address. *** A new mailing list "gut-tv@listserv.unc.edu" has been added. This mailing list is intended for those interested in helping or monitoring the progress of a public access cable TV show "Free eBooks This Week" which highlights the free eBooks posted in the past week. Those interested in helping could offer to help write, help find interviews, be interviewed, and those local to Maryland can help in the filming, staging, etc. Please subscribe to this mailing list if you are interested in being up to date on all the TV goings on! *** Gutenberg Music expands offerings to include MusicXML In response to user requests for a non-proprietary - and preferably text-based - music format and equally significant developments in the music software industry, Project Gutenberg is pleased to announce that all music titles are now available in MusicXML format. While still a relatively new standard, MusicXML has gained broad based support, and clearly responds to a well understood need for music software to interoperate. The evolving standard economically and unambiguously encodes all notes, rhythms, articulations, and expression commonly used in classic period music. It also enables the extraction of a basic MIDI performance automatically. Extensive details about MusicXML and its adoption are available from http://www.recordare.com/xml.html. As with the main project, any Public Domain works are fair game for Music, but we are specifically trying to complete the Beethoven String Quartets as a first major series too. If you'd be interested in a unique outlet for your love of music (and perhaps dormant expertise ?), please contact Geof Pawlicki (gpawlicki@earthlink.net) or check out the volunteer pages at http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/music for further information. Thanks for your interest ! *** Personal Request: I am looking for a keyboard for my Visor Edge. The only one I am SURE will work is the: PA810U Targus but there may be others. I have tried to order many times, nothing ever arrived. Michael *** We Have Included Quick and Easy Ways to Donate. . .As Per Your Requests!
