http://www.saylor.org/otc/ Not sure if you are aware of this. IAre there nteresting materials to import here? Possible Wikibook users to participate in the next chllange? Regards. Emijrp (discusscontribs) 16:09, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I have also noticed the announcement of winners of the Wave I of the Open Textbook Challenge. One question that I have not seen answered is what happened to losing projects ?
The winners have been:
  • Elementary Linear Algebra by Dr. Kenneth Kuttler of Brigham Young University – MA211 Linear Algebra I
  • Linear Algebra, Theory and Applications by Dr. Kenneth Kuttler of Brigham Young University – MA212 Linear Algebra II
  • Computer Networking: Principles, Protocol, and Practice by Dr. Olivier Bonaventure of the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium - CS402 Local Area Networks
  • Real Analysis I by Dr. Elias Zakon of the University of Windsor – MA241 Real Analysis I
Since they are compatible with our license, the material can be freely used (requiring attribution to the original work and authors), as for the reverse it is possible but the issue is matching their specific courses program... --Panic (discusscontribs) 18:33, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
