[Editors] OpenCourseWare Forum this afternoon (October 4)

[Jon Paul Potts]

I would like to remind all of the EdTech Partners of the 
OpenCourseWare Community Forum Discussion on the benefits of open 
sharing that will be hosted by the MIT OpenCourseware Faculty 
Advisory Committee this afternoon (Monday, October 4), featuring a 
keynote presentation by William G. Bowen, President of the Mellon 
Foundation and the former President of Princeton University.

Bill Bowen will share his views on open sharing of educational 
materials, and why the Mellon Foundation chose to financially support 
MIT's OCW initiative. This will also be an opportunity for the MIT 
OCW Faculty Advisory Committee to publicly recognize Chuck Vest and 
Bob Brown for their leadership and support of OpenCourseWare, which 
have been vital to OCW reaching the 900 course milestone in September.

The event will be held this afternoon in Room 10-250, starting at 4 
pm, followed by a reception directly downstairs in Building 10 in the 
Bush Room. You and your colleagues are all welcome.

We hope to see you there!

Best,
Jon Paul Potts
MIT OCW Communications Manager
