My name is Dora and I work for an education technology company called Boundless in Boston. I am reaching out to you regarding a textbook hackathon Boundless is hosting in a few weeks. 

We're pulling together a group of Boston area physics teachers, grad students, researchers, and undergrads with TA experience to join us at Boundless for a hackathon weekend. Essentially, it's a way to meet and mingle with fellow physicists enthusiasts while creating a free, open physics textbook for students and teachers to use soon. To create the textbook the group will be pulling from free, openly-licensed educational sources online (we'll explain the whole process during a fun orientation night). Here's some more info about the hackathon: http://textbookhackathon.eventbrite.com/

I would love if you could share the event with your physics contacts! 

A little background on Boundless: The company is based in Boston and has raised almost $10M in venture capital to date. We're is aiming to make education more affordable and accessible for students by curating the best open educational resources. We currently have free, open textbook alternatives for eight subjects, and physics is one we're planning to share with the community soon!
