Another podcast
by Greg Newby 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hi, folks. I've added a new podcast link to the very bottom of https://www.gutenberg.org/about/background/50years.html Saving Alexandria with Project Gutenberg’s Dr. Greg Newby, a podcast from The Poor Prole’s Almanac. The discussion addresses Project Gutenberg’s successes with volunteerism, emphasis on freedom of information, and challenges of lengthened copyright protection terms. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6yduWJUXGCg1HpfmQYTwRj?si=7HtiwMQXRHKGOdVi… This was a pretty good interview, and seems worth putting on our feeds. You can feel to tag @gbnewby Thanks! Greg Dr. Gregory B. Newby Chief Executive and Director Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation www.gutenberg.org A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with EIN 64-6221541 gbnewby(a)pglaf.org

Fwd: Re: For the 50th anniversary of Project Gutenberg

Hi Christine & others. Please consider linking to the individual blog posts by Marie Lebert. She's written a lot about PG and eBooks, and has a timeline for PG that we'll highlight for our forthcoming "50th birthday of eBooks" messaging. The Booknology link at archive.org is also really cool! I thought these might be worth trickling into the PG social media feeds. Thanks for considering. Greg

Please remove FB image
by Greg Newby 25 May '21

25 May '21

Hi, all. We got a complaint from someone claiming to represent Don Komarechka Photography. Would you please remove these images from the PG FB page? https://www.facebook.com/project.gutenberg/photos/a.387615124635933/9307086… https://www.facebook.com/project.gutenberg/photos/a.387615124635933/9307086… https://www.facebook.com/pg/project.gutenberg/photos/ It appears they match the original, here: https://www.donkom.ca/maple-leaf-flag/ It's important that PG only utilizes imagery that is in the public domain, or that is licensed for reuse. It is trivially easy for copyright trolls to search our content looking for items that are not free from copyright constraints. Thank you for your help with this, and for all that you do! Greg

Italy blocks are less friendly, FYI
by Greg Newby 28 Mar '21

28 Mar '21

Hi social media team. I wonder whether there have been new complaints from people in Italy? Below is my response to someone who was unable to reach www.gutenberg.org. In a nutshell, it appears that network route poisoning is being used, rather than DNS hijacking. Or some sort of combination... the result is a "connection refused," rather than a law enforcement message. Please let me know if further reports arrive or if there is other evidence of different techniques. There still isn't anything PG can do about this, but it's good for me to know what's going on so helpdesk inquiries may be handled. Thanks, and thanks as always for your great work tending to PG's social media! Greg
