Hi!

One of our inspirations, Brewster Kahle, will be having a talk at
Berkeley City College. Amazing person, I would definitely recommend that
you all go and see the talk. You will much better understand/feel what
we are trying to do with PeerLibrary as well.

March 18, 2015, 7 pm.

Please join me for the next lecture in our Series
"Not on the Test: The Pleasures and Uses of Mathematics" on
Wednesday, March 18, 2015, 7 pm at the Berkeley City College, 2050

Advances in computing and communications mean that we can
cost-effectively store every book, movie, software package, and public
web page ever created, and provide access to these collections via the
Internet to people all over the world. By mostly using existing
institutions and funding sources, we can build this archive as well as
compensate authors within the current worldwide library budget. For the
first time since the loss of the Library of Alexandria, we may be able
to collect all published knowledge in one place. But now we can take
that original goal further and make all the published works of humankind
accessible to everyone.

A passionate advocate for public Internet access and a successful
entrepreneur,* Brewster Kahle* has spent his career intent on a singular
focus: Universal Access to All Knowledge. While a student at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. Kahle studied artificial
intelligence. Soon after graduating, he helped found the company
Thinking Machines, a supercomputer maker. Mr. Kahle founded the Internet
Archive, one of the largest digital libraries in the world.

The Series "Not on the Test" is made possible through the generosity of
the Simons Foundation.
