SFGate is reporting<http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/04/02/MNEI16RPK4.DTL>that
Obama has nominated Martha Kanter to be Undersecretary of Education.
Kanter is the Chancellor of Foothill-De Anza Community College District. Of
note for OEN readers, Kanter supported open education initiatives at
Foothill-De Anza and may continue to do so in her new role. From the
article:
She [Kanter] would also like to see colleges share noncopyrighted books and
course materials on the Internet, similar to the “community college open
textbook project” signed into California law last September.
