|---|---|
| Grants/2lifeCast + | There are several challenges we do expect to come through the path to December: - build the wider distribution chain, and we will work together with PR an communication agencies to get as wide as possible; - work around the Apple broadcast monopoly, dedicating at least one resource to gain this result; - overcome skepticism around 3D worlds and the very low investment activity around them, using the wide variety of installations and simulations we already have and let world talk about them. |
| Grants/A journey on foot--Chekhov in sounds project + | People maybe not very know what to do with the sound materials we supply. We will take 3~5 funny video as a sample that will be transcribed on internet frequently. |
| Grants/Access to Knowledge and Alternatives to Copyright in El Salvador + | There is the possibility that some public officials will show lack of interest and commitment with the topic addressed. In case that insisting doesn’t work, the action to take is to set contact with a lower-level official so he or she can take the message to the superior. |
| Grants/Adopting Highly-Reconfigurable, Networked Cameras for Live-Streamed Meetings + | The primary challenge will be hiring a highly-motivated and skilled programmer on a limited-term basis. Announcements advertising an open position combined with in-person solicitation should be helpful, but the initial work (e.g., introductory blog postings) will likely need to be performed by the author. A skilled, communicative programmer and/or hardware prototyper should be able to negotiate workable streaming solutions, but, again, this level of expertise is beyond the technical ability of the author. The cameras are remain relatively expensive, but are not cost-prohibitive. |
| Grants/Applying Creative Commons to rural development in China. + | Some elements of this project - the interviewing and the surveys - should be relatively straightforward. There are inevitably issues involved with outsiders asking questions and being perceived as 'interfering' in close-knit, conservative communities, but our past involvement with key individuals should get us past that. Some of our team members are native Chinese speakers, while others are fluent in Mandarin as a second language; this will ease communication and ensure that there are no misunderstandings. The use of SMS-to-computer software and the use of mass-sending SMS messages in a rural environment could possibly be awkward in China, where recent history has alerted the authorities to the potential use of such tools to organize mass events; however, our existing connections with local government in Hebei province will enable us to keep them informed and aware that our plans are not controversial. The biggest challenge will be in the formulation of patterns: we already have an outline of the major concerns that face the inhabitants of Qingbiankou, and can rapidly do the same for Gangfang. In order to keep this element of the project focused, we intend to record the environmental conditions of the villages, and use local knowledge to develop suggested families of "plant guilds" - a permaculture concept which promotes synergy between groups of different plants, planted next to each other. This may take some explaining, and will be new to almost all of the farmers. We will also have to teach many of them how to use OpenOffice which, given that they are working in the fields during daytime, will be an effort for them. By keeping the numbers participating low at this stage, and selecting villagers known to be concerned about the villages' economic development, we should be able to maintain enthusiasm and involvement. |
| Grants/Approach for a Working Emerging Field Through Scratch for Secondary Students + | The challenge is to make a diagnostic concerning to the interest of Scratch in the public school. If the interest is higher we could justify a larger scale project that is nationwide teaching Scratch. In this sense, and if the project is well evaluated, will be a precedent for submission through the Cultural Centre Matucana 100 to Chilean Ministry of Education to work in a program for Primary and Secondary level using Scratch platform or other tools. |
| Grants/Arabic Open Educational Resources (OER) Platform + | Educational organizations may reject the project or oppose change in their current methodologies, in addition to the lack of knowledge in “sharing culture” among Arab academics and teachers. The project will start within organizations that already showed interest in Open Content, our sessions will help other organizations to adopt the platform, will show the socio-economic benefits of Open Access and will provide solutions to the obstacles that some organizations may face. In order to encourage more adoption, the platform will be easy-to-use, fully-localized for Arabic audience and with consistent support provided by JOSA. |
| Grants/Assessing the effect of license choice on the use of lexical resources + | We will need to distinguish between papers about the development of a resource, and papers about using a resource, this is beyond the level of current automatic techniques. In addition there are multiple WordNet projects for some languages (e.g. Polish, French, ... ) so we will need to separate their references. These are unsolvable by current NLP techniques, which is why we need human analysis of the results. Further, licensing differences are not the only difference between projects, we will also have to account for differences in project funding and longevity. |
| Grants/AudioImager + | There are several research questions in the software implementation that need to be solved. Here are some of the questions that have surfaced even before the project has started: -How do you get the tags to the audio? -How do you know which photos are relevant to match the keywords? -Is there a way to get information that would help other users to determine which photos are relevant? -What kind of creativity does the software encourage? -What kind photo transitions keep the video interesting? -Is there a way to let the photographers to know that AudioImager users have used their photos to create videos? -What is the best way to end credits and attribution? -Are there other legal issues than copyright issues that the software should make the users aware? -What kind of encoding should the software support? |
| Grants/Avbi personal : budget tax advisor web tool for Guatemala + | two challenges , defining the proper security architecture and the synchronization of the offline tool to be updated with online new features and changes. the plan to overcome them is to analyze possible solutions and to investigate similar existing examples. |
| Grants/BatasPinoy Project + | The only challenge we expect to face is the accuracy and organization of the content of the legal materials to be produced. To overcome, we intend to organize a Board of Legal Editors to handle the review of the form and legal substance of every article. We also intend to adopt a standard format for the presentation of the legal materials. |
| Grants/Beirut Metblogs + | We have not had much luck reaching out to the middle east in the past - cultural and language barriers have made those expansions near impossible for outsiders to round up volunteers. This time we'll be using locals who are already passionate about our goals and plan to give them a budget to recruit and build a team. We feel that this inside out approach will the biggest problem we've faced with the sites previously. |
| Grants/Best Practices for Startups: Leveraging CC to Optimize Resources + | Our experience as an Incubator has shown that recruitment of individual participants can be difficult, given the busy schedule of entrepreneurs. Nonetheless, we recognize the value that CC can create for their business, and by communicating this value, we are confident that we will be able to meet our goal regarding participants. We might also face the challenge of finding a success story of a business implementing CC in Guatemala; we expect to leverage our network of business professionals to identify the key entrepreneurs using CC. |
| Grants/BiDi en Iberoamèrica + | One of the main challenges is to switch the attention of libraries from the control that copyright provides to the option provided by open access, by looking at the legal tools available. Our approach will be to provide contextual information, highlighting free access to information and knowledge on the Web. |
| Grants/CC Asia Pacific Conference 2010 + | The issue of raising funds is one of the biggest and the most urgent challenges, especially as this event is expected to be a huge gathering both in terms of scale and scope. We're currently maximizing our capability to raise funds for the event from various organizations, groups, and businesses by promoting the significance of this event and CC and what tangible benefits it will bring to them. |
| Grants/CC Commentary + | Two possible challenges come to mind, one being the challenge to reach a basic consensus within the interested community on how the commentary should best be structured. This can probably be overcome by sticking to the well-known structure of the CC license texts and at the same time exerting extra care on clearly resembling that with the first visible prototype, because this will have a convincing effect and show workability of the structure presented. The second possible challenge is to ensure a sustainable selection process for the curators group and to ensure a continuous activity of that group. Depending on the success and impact of the commentary, the interest to become a contributer can range from very little to massive. In the first case, possible contributers must actively be approached and asked to join in, in the second, a staged contribution policy must be devised to optimally harvest the competence offered to the initiative. |
| Grants/CC Full-dome + | 1. One of the continuous challenges that we face is to promote contemporary arts in a city that has been fossilized in its history. Even the building where we work is protected by the City office for the preservation of landmarks, which, as is to be expected, frown at our contemporary usage of the building. The realization of this project will serve to meet one of our milestones of integrating ultra-modern media culture in this historical space - thereby acting as a catalyst for not only our "internal" community of creative people, but also the "external" community - by proving that historical and contemporary culture can coexist. 2. Our systems architect and render wrangler, Thomas Wohlfarth, has already analyzed various scenarios, and developed a strict set of fallback systems so that at our zero-date (October 9th, 2010), we will be able to present the first full-dome film regardless of operating system. This is necessary in case we are unable to successfully port the VJ system to Linux, or face some other issues (like nvidia support for openGL...) |
| Grants/CC Latin Policy + | Personal relationships may influence the success of local negotiations for adoption, and one challenge is to go beyond that reality and address other factors that enabled personal relationships to have such impact on local decision-making (long-term policy traditions, authority of the persons in the organizational structure...). The solutions provided should accomodate local needs without losing interoperability with global solutions (e.g., not write a new licence to accomodate local wishes which would fragment the Commons). By using scientific methodology of political science and law, we should be able to avoid these pitfalls. |
| Grants/CC Policy Makers and Industry Leaders Arab World Forum + | The challenge is to invite speakers from the region who are aware of CC and understand the potential of CC licences to publish and disseminate their work. We will assist any government official or business person from Jordan or the Arab region who wants to learn more about CC before participating at the event. Also, the other challenge that we will face is that the budget that is offered by CC might not be enough to cover the expenses to run such a forum. We will ask for additional funding from local and international institutions willing to sponsor this event. |
| Grants/CC Uploader for Drupal + | '''Public Access Producers''' - Eric Steuer helped answer producer questions during Open Media implementations at channelAustin and the Bay Area Video Coalition. Eric's responses to the occasionally hostile producers were brilliant. One challenge would be to create a virtual Eric. Failing that, creating a guide that helps each station relay information about Creative Commons licensing to producers almost as well as Eric would be required as part of the project's documentation. '''Bandwidth''' - Limited bandwidth and network support is another issue. While a few well funded stations have fast, well managed networks, the vast majority of public access locations do not. The Uploader will need to queue files and transfer during hours that won't interfere with the organizations day to day operation. '''Control of Content''' - Using the APIs provided by the CDNs to move video is actually the easy part. Getting the correct metadata associated to videos and maintaining the producer's permission to revise that information is much harder. Rather than upload the content to accounts 'owned' by an organization, the Uploader would require the producer attaching the Creative Commons license to their content to also authorize the CDN uploads. This puts the responsibility for dealing with any incorrectly licensed content or violations of the CDN's policies on the content producer, not an organization with very limited staff resources. A solution that met the technical challenge of moving 1s and 0s, but resulted in time consuming defense of take down notices would not see widespread adoption within public access. |
| Grants/CDLD Editions + | We don't expect many due to the fact that we will be producing the biggest part of our material. |
| Grants/CDLD.ORG / Virtual Documentation Center of the Arts + | At the moment we have an unlimited hosting service, but eventually we figure we´ll run out our quota and we´ll need out own server or at least a virtual/shared one. We have upload limits (up to 50MB per media file and 256 KB per image file), so we think we´ll be OK for the first year. Once it´s up and running (after the CC grant is over), we consider we´ll be able to afford this kind of upgrade. |
| Grants/Cacao, Commons’ Central American Observatory + | The biggest challenge for Cacaco will be the capacity to supervise the information that will be generated under CC licenses in the Central American Region. Because of the rapidness of the growth we will to focus on the generation of reflection, analysis, criticism and study on the handling of information and copytights. |
| Grants/Catalyst Languages + | The greatest challenges in teaching are always time and money, yet this project aims to be part of the solution to both of these problems. Free collaborative resources will save money (textbooks are expensive and many come with software which is even more expensive and which MUST be re-licensed ANNUALLY!) and having things in a well-organised repository will save time, as will training which will empower teachers to remix the resources to get exactly the resource which suits their learners' needs. Of course setting this up will require both time and money, which the Catalyst Grant will contribute towards. |
| Grants/Central and Eastern European Free Culture Policy Workshop + | We do not recognize any significant challenges related to organizing the workshop, other than the potential difficulty of having our policy statement recognized. To overcome this potential problem, we hope to use our contacts in the Polish public administration. We believe that the regional CC affiliates and their partners have sufficient, broad expertise to run collectively a successful policy workshop. |
