Ben Lovatt, the owner of the humanitarian science/technology website EducatedEarth, wrote to PG with the following statement.
We raise money in donations (in addition to 10% of our profits) and give them to a different organization every month. To decide which organization should receive the money, we have our members give us suggestions on companies and we let viewers of our site vote on where to donate it. Project Gutenberg has been nominated and is in this month’s poll. You’re welcome to encourage your staff and website visitors to vote for you.
Free as in, well, free. At least, that’s what the folks at Project Gutenberg believe. They work hard to make as many literary (in a very broad sense of the term) works as possible available in a variety of formats, languages, and media to as many people as possible. They are guided by similar principles that all open source enthusiasts share, that power and information should be available to everyone, not just the elite.
A reply to the complaints of the paid professional punditry on the subject of having lost their previously impermeable media monopoly they are just now only realizing hit an immoveable iceberg quite a while ago with the Internet, cell phone, and iPod revolutions.
The Structure of the Professional Versus Amateur World Systems
The Structure of the professional societies, associations, and an assortment of all other professional groups dates back to feudal, Dark Age times, in which everyone had their place and knew it and stayed in that place under threat of severe penalties.
In this system grew the guilds, legal associations of skilled and trained artisans, craftsmen, etc., from The Stationers Guild, who controlled nearly all the written records, to a wide variety of a number of guilds for various crafts in the making of goods of all sorts from leather, wood, metal, etc.
The guilds were an incredibly “insider” system of operation, with years and years of apprenticeship at a subsistence pay level, and then more years and years at the journeyman level, before members were finally allowed to hang out their own shingle and set up the shop of their dreams they had been working towards for decades.

"THE CULT OF THE AMATEUR" (PART I)
A reply to the complaints of the paid professional punditry on the subject of
having lost their previously impermeable media monopoly they are just now only
realizing hit an immoveable iceberg quite a while ago with the Internet, cell
phone, and iPod revolutions.
by Michael S. Hart
Internet User #199
Founding Member of
Project Gutenberg,
World eBook Fair &
General Cyberspace
"And The Band Played On. . . ."
The Titanics of world media crashed, full speed ahead, into these new media
options years ago. . .and. . .
These people STILL don't realize that half of the world population that will
ever buy cell phones already have done so; nor are their realizations of the
world view in touch with the effects of such a change from one-way media to
two-way media, but are still in shock that the Internet provided media
coverage to bloggers that toppled "The Great and Powerful Oz" in the form of
Dan Rather, while their news reports tried and failed, to make a fake story
about toppling the statue of Saddam Hussein.
The fact that "The Emperor Has No Clothes" is becoming obvious for half the
world population directly via their cell phones, they can see it for
themselves, and can no longer be fooled quite so easily as the United States
Congress was fooled by the faked "Tonkin Gulf Incident" that led to "The Gulf
of Tonkin Resolution" that created The Viet Nam War" in a true homage to
"You supply the pictures and I'll provide the war" of the height of Yellow
Journalism.
If you've been paying attention to the professional media pundits, then you've
probably heard at least some of their complaining from their professional
pulpits that their monopolies on information in the new world of communication
are waning, and that this informing of the public is increasingly being done
more on the order of that "of the people, by the people, for the people," that
was the ideal of the founding fathers of modern democracy.

NOTES:
To arrive at the Newsletter statistics a manual count was done on all the
'posted' listings found in the Newsletter Archives. For PG-EU the website
listing was used. All these statistics were then entered into a spreadsheet.
DP-EU is currently concentrating on U.S. copyright clearable eBooks and
therefore many of these are posted to both the PG and PG-EU sites, non U.S.
clearable books posted to PG-EU only. Please note that only the non-clearable
('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and not the overall PG-EU total.

later to other locations, including the main collection or The Project

A second essay on “The Cult of the Amateur” concentrating on some aspects of professional scientists versus amateurs.
The Three Greatest Scientific Thinkers of the Last Millennium
When it comes to science names such as Einstein, Newton, Galileo, stand out above all the rest when it comes to understanding those scientific aspects of the universe around us.
However, the world did not accept these as scientists at the time when they focused their imagination on things the rest of world’s experts would sooner have left unexplored.
A reply to the complaints of the paid professional punditry on the subject of having lost their previously impermeable media monopoly they are just now only realizing hit an immoveable iceberg quite a while ago with the Internet, cell phone, and iPod revolutions.
by Michael S. Hart
Internet User #199
Founding Member of
Project Gutenberg,
World eBook Fair &
General Cyberspace
“And The Band Played On. . . .”
The Titanics of world media crashed, full speed ahead, into these new media options years ago. . .and. . .
These people STILL don’t realize that half of the world population that will ever buy cell phones already have done so; nor are their realizations of the world view in touch with the effects of such a change from one-way media to two-way media, but are still in shock that the Internet provided media coverage to bloggers that toppled “The Great and Powerful Oz” in the form of Dan Rather, while their news reports tried and failed, to make a fake story about toppling the statue of Saddam Hussein.
The first Espresso Book Machine™ (“the EBM”) was installed and demonstrated today at the New York Public Library’s Science, Industry, and Business Library (SIBL). The patented automatic book making machine will revolutionize publishing by printing and delivering physical books within minutes. The EBM is a product of On Demand Books, LLC (“ODB” – www.ondemandbooks.com), the company founded by legendary publishing executive Jason Epstein and business partner Dane Neller, who joined SIBL’s Kristin McDonough for a private event there to speak about the EBM’s potential impact on the future of reading and publishing.
The Espresso Book Machine will be available to the public at SIBL through August, and will operate Monday- Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The New York Public Library’s Science, Industry and Business Library is located at 188 Madison Avenue (at 34th Street).

FEATURED NEWS

DIGITIZED BRF (BRAILLE) FILES FOR GUTENBERG.ORG EBOOKS
TravelBraille.com is taking requests for Braille transcriptions of
Gutenberg.org eBooks to BRF Braille. The transcriptions will be prepared by a
US Library of Congress Certified Braille Transcriber. There will be NO charge
for this service.
No assurance can or will be given that any particular file will be
transcribed priority will be given to those files in the Gutenberg Top 100
eBooks, Top 100 eBook Authors, and, quite frankly, the personal taste of the
Transcriber.
Some of these files may require detailed editing as to punctuation, Braille
contraction, formatting, chapter arrangements, etc. Volumes will be
approximately 150K each to make them easier to load into Braille NoteTakers,
etc. Formatting, editing, headers, chapter headings, page numbering, etc. will
meet or exceed 'Formatted Scan Quality'. The files will be structured for both
refreshable Braille and paper embossing.
For now, all requests must be submitted through the
http://www.TravelBraille.com website 'Contact Us' page.
As this will be a free service, your patience will be kindly appreciated.
-- John Edwin Miller, USA Library of Congress Certified Braille Transcriber.

NOTES:
To arrive at the Newsletter statistics a manual count was done on all the
'posted' listings found in the Newsletter Archives. For PG-EU the website
listing was used. All these statistics were then entered into a spreadsheet.
DP-EU is currently concentrating on U.S. copyright clearable eBooks and
therefore many of these are posted to both the PG and PG-EU sites, non U.S.
clearable books posted to PG-EU only. Please note that only the non-clearable
('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and not the overall PG-EU total.

TravelBraille.com is taking requests for Braille transcriptions of
Gutenberg.org eBooks to BRF Braille. The transcriptions will be prepared by a
US Library of Congress Certified Braille Transcriber. There will be NO charge
for this service.
No assurance can or will be given that any particular file will be
transcribed – priority will be given to those files in the Gutenberg Top 100
eBooks, Top 100 eBook Authors, and, quite frankly, the personal taste of the
Transcriber.
Leading publishers, online retailers and channel partners have announced their support for Adobe Digital Editions today (see separate quote sheet). By using a new export feature built into Adobe InDesign(R) CS3, publishers can easily create new Adobe Digital Editions-ready content, helping to significantly reduce cost and conversion time. In addition, with versions for mobile platforms and reading devices also planned, Sony has committed to embed Adobe Digital Editions technology into its portable reader product line.
