Information about it is available in the press release. STUDENTS: Tell the world the way it should be. Is open sharing of ideas and information important to you? Form a team or go it alone and make a video to demonstrate the value of information sharing as you see it. EDUCATORS: A great assignment for your fall courses. Check out our teacher’s guide. LIBRARIANS: Host your own Sparky Awards and move your campus discussion about research access forward. See our Syndication Guide or Librarian’s Guide for ideas.  Related articles by ZemantaOpen Source & the Letter of the Law (web2learning.net) Oscon 2009 (sauria.com)Why Open Source Will Never Rule the Desktop and Why It Doesn't Have To (crunchgear.com)
