About

LibriVox is a hope, an experiment, and a question: can the net harness a bunch of volunteers to help bring books in the public domain to life through podcasting?

LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then we release the audio files back onto the net. We are a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project.

(In another language: Français: Comment devenir benevole)

LibriVox volunteers narrate, proof listen, and upload chapters of books and other textual works in the public domain. These projects are then made available on the Internet for everyone to enjoy, for free.

There are many, many things you can do to help, so please feel free to jump into the Forum and ask what you can do to help!

Where to Start

Most of what you need to know about LibriVox can be found on the LibriVox Forum and the FAQ. LibriVox volunteers are helpful and friendly, and if you post a question anywhere on the forum you are likely to get an answer from someone, somewhere within an hour or so. So don't be shy! Many of our volunteers have never recorded anything before LibriVox.

Types of Projects

We have three main types of projects:

• Collaborative projects: Many volunteers contribute by reading individual chapters of a longer text.

We recommend contributing to collaborative projects before venturing out to solo projects.

• Dramatic Readings and Plays: contributors voice the individual characters. When complete, the editor compiles them into a single recording
• Solo projects: One experienced volunteer contributes all chapters of the project.

Proof Listener (PL)

Not all volunteers read for LibriVox. If you would prefer not to lend your voice to LibriVox, you could lend us your ears. Proof listeners catch mistakes we may have missed during the initial recording and editing process.

Reader (Narrator)

Readers record themselves reading a section of a book, edit the recording, and upload it to the LibriVox Management Tool.

For an outline of the Librivox audiobook production process, please see The LibriVox recording process.

One Minute Test

We require new readers to submit a sample recording so that we can make sure that your set up works and that you understand how to export files meeting our technical standards. We do not want you to waste previous hours reading whole chapters only to discover that your recording is unusable due to a preventable technical glitch.

Book Coordinator (BC)

A book coordinator (commonly abbreviated BC in the forum) is a volunteer who manages all the other volunteers who will record chapters for a LibriVox recording.

Metadata Coordinator (MC)

Perseverance (gilberto Porto) Mac Os Download

Metadata coordinators (MCs), help and advise Book Coordinators, and take over the files with the completed recordings (soloists are also Book Coordinators in this sense, as they prepare their own files for the Meta coordinators). The files are then prepared and uploaded to the LibriVox catalogue, in a lengthy and cumbersome process.

• send me examples of how proprietary programs have been designed to be addictive.
• (in India) make and sell buttons that say, 'DON'T BE TRACKED PAY CASH', in English and/or a local language, to resist the campaign against cash. Talk with a local company that makes buttons, buy a batch of 50 to 500 buttons for a quantity price, then sell them for 2 or 3 times that price.
• find articles about games that lure and pressure users into spending a lot of money on competitive advantages, or letting their children do so. I've concluded this is a form of malicious functionality, and I want to make a list to add to https://gnu.org/malware/. If you know of an article, please email me the URL.
• If you know of a bank in the US that charges less than ten dollars for incoming wire transfers, please tell me about it. I can't do online banking, since most US banks require customers to run nonfree apps or Javascript code for that, so I would need to open an account in some other way. Therefore, it would be best if the bank had an office in the Boston area. However, I'd be interested in whatever banks you can recommend even if they are not near me.
• volunteer to post videos of my talks on audio-video.gnu.org.
• develop a Firefox front end to search the Internet Archive with Javascript disabled (or LibreJS active).
• Write a program to scrape fridaysforfutureusa.org and post the practical info about finding climate strike rallies on another web site which makes that information accessible without running JavaScript code.

  I would like to publicize these events, as well as attend sometimes myself.

• get info about Delta face recognition.

  Delta Airlines' web site says clearly that using face recognition to for departures is optional.

  However, there are reports that in the airport they cover this up.

  Would someone flying on Delta out of Atlanta please record the announcements about face recognition for checkin and boarding? And what the checkin agent says to you about rejecting the face recognition. Also please take photos of any signs that talk about the matter. Then please send me email about what you saw/heard.

• browse various sites and show me items that I ought to see and link to. If you would like to help me in this way, please write to rms at gnu dot o r g.

• write site-specific Firefox extensions or local scripts to operate specific web sites.

  Indeed, it is not as good as the Green Party's Green New Deal, but it's better than none at all.

• US citizens: call on Congress to fix the Supreme court.

  Increasing its size may not be the best method. I think it would be better to reduce the size to six, if it is possible to ensure that the three most-recenly-appointed justices are the ones that are moved to other federal courts.

  None of these methods can actually be enacted now without first eliminating the filibuster.

  The Capitol Switchboard number is 202-224-3121.

  If you call, please spread the word!

• US citizens: phone your congresscritter and senators to support H.R. 2509 / S. 1139, which would eliminate the mechanism for the military draft. Specifically, it would do these things:

  • Repeal the Military Selective Service Act (thereby eliminating Presidential authority to order men to register with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft and eliminating criminal penalties for failure or refusal to register);
  • Abolish the Selective Service System (thereby ending contingency planning by the SSS for the Health Care Personnel Delivery System or any other form of special-skills draft);
  • Prohibit all other Federal agencies from imposing civil sanctions (denial of federal student financial aid, federally-funded jobs, etc.) for nonregistration or using nonregistration as a basis for other adverse determinations (denial of naturalization as a U.S. citizen, etc.);
  • 'Preempt' (and thereby override and prohibit) all state sanctions for nonregistration (denial of drivers' licenses, state financial aid, state jobs, etc.); and
  • Preserve the rights of conscientious objectors under other laws and regulations (such as applicants for reassignment to noncombatant duties or discharge from the military on the basis of conscientious objection).

  If you call, please spread the word!

• US citizens: call on Congress to pass the Washington DC statehood bill.

  If you sign, please spread the word!

There Ought to Be a Law

• It should be a crime to knowingly approach a person while maskless inside a building or vehicle.
• *The pandemic has taken surveillance of workers to the next level.*

  The extreme of this is represented by the Amazon warehouse, where a worker's every move is controlled by the computer system. This is one of many reasons to refuse to buy from Amazon.

  Unfortunately, surveillance of workers is not limited to Amazon. I think states should pass laws to limit surveillance of workers. It should cover independent contractors as well as employees.

  The law should completely forbid demanding that workers run any specific software on their own computers (keep in mind that portable phones are computers); the employer who wants that must furnish the computer at no charge.

• A hundred years ago, having your face photo circulated as a suspect could direct persecution at you — for instance, making it impossble to get a job.

  Now it can cause you to be arrested randomly for walking down the street.

  If stores use face recognition inside the store, they should not be allowed to use photos for matching against people in the store except for photos they have taken in that store, and photos of people convicted of theft and fraud.

• The corrupter has pardoned his former agent, Michael Flynn, who was convicted for lying to the FBI about what he did for the corrupter.

  This is a corrupt practice. I think we need to limit the president's power to pardon so that presidents cannot do this in the future.

Countries to Stay Away From

No national identity cards

I'd like to make a list of countries that do not require a national identity card, and have no plans to adopt one. If you live in or have confirmed knowledge of such a country, please send email to rms at gnu.org.

Here's my list of countries with no national ID cards and no plans for one: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK. Australia's previous government tried to institute national ID cards, but the Labor government dropped the plan.

India has mostly finished imposing a national biometric ID number in a grand act of oppression.

Perseverance (gilberto Porto) Mac Os Catalina

Switzerland has national ID cards which are optional, but they or some other government ID card are needed for some purposes.

Iceland doesn't have ID cards as such, but they have ID numbers that citizens are forced to use frequently. For example, the national ID number is often required to rent a video or use a gym.

Denmark issues non-photo ID cards with a 'person number', and many services use this card to identify people.

Norway will impose a national biometric ID card.

Ireland - national ID card by stealth.

ACLU: the five dangers of national ID cards.

Wikipedia has a list of identity card policies by country.

Borders

Stay away from certain countries because of their bad immigration policies.

Flight connections

Avoid flight connections in these airports because of their treatment of passengers.

The Lifelong Activist

People often ask how I manage to continue devoting myself to progressive activism (such as the free software movement) for years without burning out. The best way I can answer is by recommending a book, The Lifelong Activist by Hillary Rettig.

I disagree with the book on one theoretical point in the last part of the book: we shouldn't think of political activism as being marketing and sales, because those terms refer to business, and politics is something much more important than mere business. However, this doesn't diminish the value of the book's practical advice about borrowing techniques from marketing and sales.

Disclosure: I am friends with the author.

Political notes

'Those who profess to favor freedom, yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.'

Here are notes about various issues I care about, usually with links to more information. The current notes are here. For all previous notes, see this page.
