New research techniques like data mining have highlighted the shortcomings in "free" (as in beer) licensing of academic research, and the benefits of "libre" licensing that permits true scholarly engagement with data and scholarship. These challenges apply equally in the education sphere, where teachers often need to manipulate resources and not simply distribute them. We will survey what is sometimes called the "open movement" in academia, which incorporates open access, open education, and open data. How are researchers and educators grappling with these challenges, and what can they learn from the free software movement?

Who did this? Just wait until your father gets home

What's going on in here? Computer parts laying all over the place... screws and ribbon cables scattered across heaven's half acre. And who left this power supply in the refrigerator? Is that your dad's new impact drive? Don't you dare let me get up in the middle of the night and step on that motherboard in my bare feet. Just what in the name of Michael Dell is going on here?

Will it blend?

Ken Starks, Reglue

"Daddy, how does a computer work?" That simple six-word question led Ken down a path that not only changed his life, but the lives of hundreds of others. Since 2005, Ken and his organization has taken in broken or decommissioned computers, refurbished them, and then placed them into the homes of financially disadvantaged kids in Texas. Everything Reglue does is anchored on one simple premise: a child's exposure to technology should never be predicated on the ability to afford it.
