A proud achievement of my half-century IT career happened in 1996 consulting to the #UNDP toward the first published edition of the Humanity Development Library.
It seemed easy enough: "It can be fairly estimated that 1/3, or about 20 million pages of UN, and as much University and NGO material are very useful. Those 20 million pages useful UN publications probably contain about 50% of solutions for major World problems. This information must be released in digital format for non-profit redistribution in all countries."
also portable and accessible to all platforms, everywhere.
Happily, not only did the project live on, but thanks to @… our once-intractable problem of global delivery is now globally solved!
So, whether or not this is timely, I don't know, but should you need to suddenly rebuild some semblance of civilization from scratch…

You know what was released on the #InternetArchive yesterday?
Johannes Grenzfurthner‘s documentary movie “Hacking at Leaves” about US history and the racism that built it, the Navajo Nation, hackerspaces and hacker culture, COVID-19, and much more.
It’s now free to watch, share, and talk about!

The White House took down the USA's top climate report. You can still find it at #InternetArchive (which we should all support with £, €, $, if we can).
