MIT OpenCourseWare

Are people here familiar with it?

I absolutely love the idea. Basically MIT make a whole bunch of their course available for free online, including lecture notes, assignments, syllabuses (syllabi?), recordings, video, etc etc.

if anybody has an interest in learning something but can't for to whatever reason, or people want to extend themselves, its a brilliant option. really worth checking out

Yeah, it's been around for a while.

Takes open source to a new level

It irritates me because I always go there hoping to find useful lecture notes for their equivalents of my courses. But they're either not good enough notes or not enough overlap to actually be useful for me...
