My colleague Enric Senabre, with Adam Hyde and Patrick Hendricks are organizing the Printing Lab at the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival.
One of the things they’re presenting is PliegOS, which is like a Twitter for books
.
To make a demonstration of PliegOS, Enric is taking the first three out of my four-post series for Drumbeat, that is:
- Deinstitutionalizing education.
- From non-formal learning to casual learning.
- New learning contents and platforms.
- Learning assessment and accreditation in the Information Society.
and turnging them into a pliego.
The result is surprising to say the least. You can download the pliego in the following link:
And you can also watch how a pliego is built and used in the following video:

Thank you for sharing it here :) The printing lab couldn’t be on time during the festival for technical reasons, so these pliegos were distributed by hand to some book-lovers among the participants (the original idea was to print them right away).
Adam and Laleh managed to arrive from Berlin, bring and set up the bookivan (http://www.booki.cc/) in the square only the second day, then produce a couple of his books also: http://www.estigmergia.net/w/images/2/20/Bookimobile.JPG
The mobile and cheap printing idea of the bookimobile is based on an original project by Brewster Kahle (Internet Archive), who some years ago used a van for producing and distributing cheap books in some parts of Africa with the motto “one buck one book”.
