Delmar and Joshua, thanks so much for sponsoring the OEGlobal 2021 conference. It means a lot to us to have you on board and we’re pleased to be able to provide an opportunity to connect LibreTexts to the global open education community.

LibreTexts has built out both a comprehensive online platform and a extensive collection of open textbooks. Congratulations on the impressive number of site visits you are getting. Good to also hear your plans to build out a LibreNet network, intent to develop more multilingual content, and commitment to provide a cell phone app and Raspberry Pi based LibreTexts in a Box for remote locations. All very inspiring.

Thanks again.
