Special thanks to Braddock Gaskill & Curt Thompson who will join our weekly
Thurs call to review the latest IIAB, how it can work with the imminent
XSCE 5.1 (http://schoolserver.org) and similar open edutech
platforms/collections.

OpenStreetMap is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year; likewise
many want to understand IIAB's advances over the past year, and how
deployments (e.g. in Haiti, Ghana, Lesotho, Rwanda, Zambia, Malaysia) can
better make use of May 2014's recent IIAB release/snapshot now being tested
in Haiti.

Enhancing digital library training also means, like with any great library,
understanding what gems we truly have to offer --- thanks to "librarians"
of all kind promoting these, with scintillating tours to patrons of all
ages --- Let's Do It :)

Others like Tim Moody and Tony Anderson (just to mention a few) have
equally concrete but future-oriented questions, working to understand
IIAB's architecture, customizing IIAB for different
regions/languages/schools, trimming it down for solid-state / portable
offline uses soon?  Perhaps even later merging parts of IIAB with XSCE,
RACHEL, Project BERNIE, eGranary and Libraries Without Borders' IdeasBox?

*But please add your own questions to the agenda here first, Thanks!*
