"Line?" I didn't know there was a line. Are they giving away something? Where is the end?

But we would need Peter Ustinov! Would we invite that Marx brother again after he put his eye-mask on the wrong way? Such an esteemed panel of sleuths could not be found today!

Have we had a zoom discussion about making covers? Did Michele present this for us?

I would like to learn how as I've found some LV projects on archive.org that have no cover. (Maybe it was just one or two. Still, I would like to see all projects get covers.) I think that all projects done nowadays almost always, if not always, get covers. The cover makers are the unsung heroes of LV in my view.

We had two sessions: one that Michele presented and the recording failed, and one that I did.

All projects get covers. Some of the older ones are claimed by a maker but not yet done. You can see the claims here: http://librivox.nl/claim/ (generic uploader login)

Thank you.

All projects at Archive get covers , usually within 2 weeks of the project being catalogued. Like all LV sometimes people claim and are unable to get them done within the time period .
If you have questions about the covermaking system there is a working thread and a chat thread - you can ask there,

Just found this in the Internet! Hahaha!

"Look at your webcam, not your monitor during Zoom calls and livestreams if you don't want to appear shady."

So if you do a lot of Zoom calls you should feed your computer to a Teleprompter?

Says the guy who doesn't have/use a webcam. Talk about appearing shady.

At next Monday’s Librivox Zoom get together it might be interesting to have a few comments from people about some of the “surprises” they’ve found via LibriVox… writers found on Gutenberg and other copyright free sites who are new to them, reading and/or recording something they never expected to do…how LibriVox has expanded their reading experience, and so on.

I would love for that to happen. Please nudge it in that direction Mary? Hope you will be there.
