Thanks to the open community's collective efforts, "open" continues to move into the mainstream:

• US Department of State Unveils Open Book Project: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/36421
  
  
• Earlier today, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton unveiled the Open Book Project (remarks, fact sheet, press notice), an initiative to expand access to free, high-quality educational materials in Arabic, with a particular focus on science and technology. These resources will be released under open licenses that allow their free use, sharing, and adaptation to local context.
  
  
• Blackboard’s xpLor: Cross-platform learning repository adds Creative Commons license options: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/35378
  
  
• Earlier this year, Blackboard announced xpLor — a new cloud-based learning object repository that will work across the various learning management systems (LMS) in use at educational institutions: e.g., Blackboard, Moodle, ANGEL, and Sakai. xpLor has added Creative Commons license options, which means that instructors and institutions can create, share, and even build on each other’s CC-licensed content all through the same interface.
