OpenStax CNX Featured On Floss Weekly Podcast

Two OpenStax team members were featured guests on the Floss Weekly podcast this morning.  Floss Weekly covers open source software for the TWIT podcast network.  Kathi Fletcher and Ross Reedstrom told the history of the project along with a discussion of the work we are currently doing on OpenStax CNX. The podcast is available to view or download from TWIT.

New Name and New Editor Demo

In case you missed the announcement at the Connexions Conference this week, Connexions has been renamed to OpenStax CNX!  We have also renamed this blog to OpenStax CNX Developer Blog. You can visit us at openstaxcnx.org. The renaming give us a unique presence on the web and helps us build a family of OpenStax sites to provide open options for education.  Our other sites are available from openstax.org.

At the 2014 conference, we released a beta version of our new editor. It can be found at demo.cnx.org. Log in using your CNX, Facebook, Twitter or Google accounts and give the new editor a try.  We would love to hear your feedback as we continue to work on it.  It is definitely beta software so expect to find bugs.  We will continue to update it we get ready for the public release at the end of June.

This blog has been dormant for the past few months which is not good.  Our plan is to start posting regularly again since we have lots of cool code happening in the OpenStax College textbooks and in the rewrite of OpenStax CNX.
