Reply-To: eackerma () u washington edu Greetings Dave, IP'ers might be interested to know that Public.Resource.Org archivist and IP contributor Carl Malamud is the target of a concerted effort by the "yes we scan" committee to be named as 'public printer of the US' - the head of the Government Printing Office. Co-chaired by Paul Vixie, Lawrence Lessig, and David Halperin, the committee ( at http://yeswescan.org/ ) has launched an online signature-gathering effort in hopes that Carl would be considered for the position. Carl's transparency and public records dissemination work is long-running and quite revolutionary. It's probably fitting that the committee is collecting signatures and endorsement online too, including thorugh "signature bundlers" - like BoingBoing: http://www.boingboing.net/2009/02/25/yes-we-scan-carl-mal.html ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
