| Grants/2lifeCast + | The target of the project are all those who hold the intellectual property of a content and want to share it under the Creative Commons licenses. Thanks to their participation in the project, the authors obtain an increase of opportunities, the access to technological resources provided by the association (streaming video), the collaboration with other development partners for their projects, the access to common projects. |
| Grants/A journey on foot--Chekhov in sounds project + | Our TA are 20~35 years old students, office workers, and art worker. (1)20~35 tears old Students, office worker are main group participating in art event in Taiwan. Also, internet is the main media in their life. We hope our project provides them a chance to easily approach drama art and makes drama art be popular in their society group by internet promotion. (2) In addition, we hope our project provides materials for young art worker who maybe has a little money but many good ideas. |
| Grants/Access to Knowledge and Alternatives to Copyright in El Salvador + | The project targets to two types of stakeholders. In one hand, government officials in the areas of education, culture and technology; who will benefit through sensitizing and capacity-building activities that will enable them to foster public policies in favor of Access to Knowledge. In the other hand, the project targets also to civil society entities, such as libraries, universities, investigation centers, artists’ organizations, technology professionals’ organizations and free software community. They will benefit by learning about alternatives to share and access to educational, creative or technological contents. They will also strength their capabilities to organize and articulate common efforts in favor of knowledge and culture sharing. |
| Grants/Adopting Highly-Reconfigurable, Networked Cameras for Live-Streamed Meetings + | This project falls most in line with Apertus Open Source Cinema, Elphel, Open Video Alliance, Open Video Productions, OpenMeetings.org, and the Xiph Foundation; these are targeted development communities where early-stage feedback is most valuable. The primary motivation is development of a strategically-important device beneficial all organizations involved. The larger community are organizers, in-person attendees, and online viewers of a series of meetings and (un-)conferences relating to free culture and open government. Topical examples of videos the author has published include: -Wireside Chat with Lawrence Lessig: http://bit.ly/dtrXQm -Open video: http://bit.ly/avzvIg -Wikimania: http://bit.ly/cx1Otn -The U.S. Congress & open government: http://bit.ly/9DvfO5 With multiple, pre-configured active cameras, an adoption roadblock to a much-wider community will be effectively removed. |
| Grants/Applying Creative Commons to rural development in China. + | We will be working with two communities, Qingbiankou and Gangfang. Qinbiankou is a farming community of approximately 1200 people, based inside a Ming Dynasty military garrison town in Xuanhua District, Hebei Province. Located at the foot of a pass leading from the Mongolian steppes down to the plains of north China, Qingbiankou has three separate stretches of the Great Wall of China dating back to the Ming Dynasty (500 years ago), the Northern Wei Period (1500 years ago), and the Zhao Period (2400 years ago). The village produces a range of agricultural produce, and corn in particular. However, the region is suffering from an extended drought, which is causing desertification and damaging crop production. Gangfang village is also in northern Hebei Province. Like Qinbiankou, it is close to the Great Wall of China, and has been involved in the local tourism development. Being closer to Beijing than Qingbiankou, a larger proportion of adults are absent for long periods, having moved away in search of work. This has caused empty villages, increased older population while children are moved to boarding schools and also come to the village only on the weekend visit. The children of both villages are absent (see above), due to Chinese education policies which require village children to be educated in boarding schools – which can often be a long distance away. With the Qianbiankou experience and attitude in the environmental issues and Gangfang experience in tourism two communities could work on exchanging the best practices and how it can improve the livelihood and economy standard. |
| Grants/Approach for a Working Emerging Field Through Scratch for Secondary Students + | The workshops will be made to 100 selected students from 14 to 15 years that belonging to public schools of zones near by Matucana 100 Cultural Centre: Santiago Centro, Quinta Normal and Estacion Central. The introductory workshop will last one week and will be held for ten weeks in Matucana 100 Cultural Centre. Students in these zones of the city of Santiago belongs to middle and lower classes. This group has a low level learning, according to the latest SIMCE by the Government of Chile (http://www.simce.cl/mapas/?geocode=13). The project “Approach for a Working Emerging Field Through Scratch for Secondary Students” will help to create twenty-first century skills, learn and reinforce mathematical concepts and logical, while deepening and understand the application design. The workshop will help them think creatively, to analyze and systematically to use technology collaborate smoothly and effectively, thus giving them new ways of working, collaborating and communicating that will benefit them professionally in a medium-term future, when choosing a technical or university career. |
| Grants/Arabic Open Educational Resources (OER) Platform + | Our targeted community consists of K-12, undergraduate students, school teachers and university instructors. Educational systems in Arab World still adopt traditional tools and means for communicating knowledge and sharing materials in classrooms. The project will give the opportunity to students to have access for innovative and high quality resources from different institutions and to the instructors to reuse materials and gain more advanced technical and pedagogical skills. |
| Grants/Assessing the effect of license choice on the use of lexical resources + | We are targeting two communities: the first is the WordNet developer community --- we hope to give quantitative arguments for why WordNets should be released under open licenses. According to discussions with other researchers, many projects would like to release their data, but have difficulty persuading their funding bodies that this is the right decision. A study showing the benefits of open release should help people to make their case. WordNets (Semantic networks similar to enhanced thesauruses) have been built for over 50 languages, based on the design of the original, freely released English WordNet and are widely used in research and text processing applications. However, these resources range in size from 117,00 concepts (English) to a few thousand (newly constructed languages such as Farsi). The original WordNet predates CC licenses and was released under a modified BSD license. Many new wordnets place more restrictions on their use, from research only to full commercial licensing. We would like to help move the community toward general adoption of open source licenses by showing that it is the most effective way of leveraging the investment in creating the language resource. The second community is that of natural language processing researchers (and the wider world). Many people use the English WordNet, but not all people are aware that there are now free WordNets in a variety of languages. We will make these new resources more visible by providing an online API for the open ones. We also hope that the open WordNets will inspire other lexical resource creation projects to become more open. |
| Grants/AudioImager + | The target community is amateur video makers who don't have access to video editing software or video and image libraries. The AudioImager software enables these users to easily create videos from audio-files by combining their own personal photos or to Flikr's CC-photo archive images. |
| Grants/Avbi personal : budget tax advisor web tool for Guatemala + | every individual or tax payer from Guatemala , it will benefit helping individuals minimize the struggle with debt and tax reporting through expenditure and income awareness, help them through advice and software tools hence less penalization for not knowing the how to of taxes and budgets. |
| Grants/BatasPinoy Project + | The project is seeking to target civil society in general as its audience. Through then dissemination of the legal information clearly under a CC license, the project expects to also propagate the notion of Creative Commons to institution that provides knowledge and information to make their otherwise copyrighted work dedicated to public service via the CC license. |
| Grants/Beirut Metblogs + | Beirut currently has no central online media resource and we have made some connections with bloggers and creative commons activists who we think would make a good starting team. The community we're targeting is both tech savvy local enthusiasts and residents of the city who are just looking for a stronger sense of connection to those around them. We feel this project will benefit the community in a similar way that our Karachi blog did, by giving the locals a big public voice that they never had, which allows them to join together on issues and empower themselves. |
| Grants/Best Practices for Startups: Leveraging CC to Optimize Resources + | BIG Ideas is a non-for-profit business incubator in Guatemala. The NGO works directly with young entrepreneurs in high-tech and ICT industries, innovating in traditional industries, and those making cultural industries competitive. Introducing these entrepreneurs to Creative Commons and its advantages, applications, and best practices will allow them to leverage the scarce resources they usually have as a bootstrapped startup using others' CC-licensed work. The entrepreneurs recognize the importance of networks and giving back, and using CC licenses for their own outputs will also contribute to strengthening their networks and collaboration within these. The incubator can then use these models to develop case studies on best practices developed by its own entrepreneurs. |
| Grants/BiDi en Iberoamèrica + | The project is aimed at general information managers, librarians and researchers interested in digital libraries, copyright, and open access to knowledge, and especially in using Creative Commons licenses as a tool to address these issues. Digital library projects are addressed without considering copyright issues by many of these institutions, while most of the material included is tagged "all rights reserved" often imposing a legal framework that reduces the library´s options for free access. |
| Grants/CC Asia Pacific Conference 2010 + | CC affiliates in the Asia Pacific region will be the main target of the event, while local artists, public officials, academic professionals, and others who support open culture are also expected to significantly benefit from the project. This gathering will contribute to more strong networks among CC communities in the region. Not only that, but they will also be given opportunities to develop networks with local artists, public organizations, and academic institutions and to explore potential projects. |
| Grants/CC Commentary + | The primary target groups are legal practitioners who work or advise in the field of IP law and scholars of all disciplines concerned with Open Access. A special subset of this group are professors of law who will very likely be compelled to engage argumentatively with the commentary and contribute to it. At the same time the commentary would also target two additional groups, the first being CC Jurisdiction Projects who could use it as a knowledge base for outreach work, porting and other purposes. The second additional target group is the everyday parties to CC licensing agreements, i. e. authors and users. Thus, the commentary would offer human-readable explanations at least on its most legalese parts. |
| Grants/CC Full-dome + | The community is composed of artists, film-makers and students currently developing films and visualizations for full-dome projection systems, some of whom live and work in the area, others would travel to use the dome. The full-dome is actually a "bastard-child" of planetarium projection-systems. Arising from this cross-over situation, the technology, [http://www.rentittoday.com/storage-units-rentals storage rental space] and relative lack of planetariums make it a very cost-prohibitive venture in film-making. In Weimar, where we will build the first CC Dome, there isn't even a dome to be used - even though the local community of film-makers and university students are very productive making their films, they don't even have a place to run test-renderings or even showcase their works to others. Our work will concretely reduce travel costs and time loss while increasing productivity and availability of this exciting and immersive medium. On an extended level, we will also provide the plans for making such a dome, thus expanding and empowering our community. |
| Grants/CC Latin Policy + | The targeted community consists of civil servants, academics and administrative and policy-making staff members of governments, universities and public institutions such as national libraries located in Latin-America and in Latin-Europe. The project will identify the legal and policy context of data, public information and other works which could be licensed under a CC licence or CC0. The project will define and compare best practices and experiences from negotiations for the adoption of CC licenses and Open Access policies. |
| Grants/CC Policy Makers and Industry Leaders Arab World Forum + | We are targeting the senior leaders and decision makers in both the public and private sectors who can influence decision making regarding CC for the long term benefit of the general public. This will be one of the first events in the region that will invite government officials, leaders of educational institutions and business people to discuss how the new economy is impacting their activities. It will also allow legal scholars to examine how legal rules facilitate or hinder such activities. |
| Grants/CC Uploader for Drupal + | The initial target audience for this project are public access television stations using digital playback servers. Public access stations sit on a wealth of content. Unfortunately, little of that content is Creative Commons licensed or available online. Public access stations are struggling to remain relevant to their local communities in a world where more people watch YouTube than cable television. A few public access organizations are reinventing themselves with less focus on programming television channels. Those groups are putting more effort into identifying groups in their local community with stories to tell and training members of the groups to use social networks and CDNs in additional to video to tell that story. The project would target stations that are creating great content, but lack the bandwidth, servers, and technical staff to support a full blown Open Media implementation or other video on demand (VOD) solution. |
| Grants/CDLD Editions + | We are targeting a national and international cultural community. We started out with the CDLD project because there are very few places in Mexico which document and safeguard artistic material (in analog and digital formats), and the few who do don´t give full access to their archives or charge for the information. As an online publishing house we plan to spread information about Mexican art in a free and easy access way, providing the material in Spanish and in English. This online documentation center would help artists, and anyone interested, in obtaining free information about contemporary art in the state and in the country. |
| Grants/CDLD.ORG / Virtual Documentation Center of the Arts + | The community we´re targeting is conformed mainly of visual artists, musicians, writers, live performers, curators and cultural promoters. The benefit will be being able to collectively build the largest artistic database of Latin America. As art teachers and artists, we found it very hard to find art (on the internet) if you don´t know what you´re looking for exactly. For example, when you type in "performance" you get results that go from laser printers, flat screens to Blue Man Group. We´ve found it necessary to create a website where you can go to find art; a trustworthy source where you can find exactly what you need of just explore. This will be a great tool for artists, art students, art teachers and the cultural community in general. |
| Grants/Cacao, Commons’ Central American Observatory + | Guatemala and Costa Rica are the two countries with significant penetration of Internet in its population (10.8% and 35% respectively in 2009 according to ODAI). Notwithstanding, the use of CC licenses has grown in these two countries (Guatemala has a local chapter and Costa Rica will launch one soon), there is not enough information about Creative Commons licenses and therefore people aren’t aware of advantages for the owners, the users and the community itself, and the use of CC licenses taking into consideration success cases. The project will contribute with a descriptive study of how CC licenses are being used in the region and mainly a deep consideration about the handling information in specific communities. |
| Grants/Catalyst Languages + | Specifically, the community of language teachers in Northern Ireland. On a broader basis, better teaching practice will benefit learners and the whole community. Online materials will be available to the world, but the focus will remain on the UK curriculum. |
| Grants/Central and Eastern European Free Culture Policy Workshop + | We are directly targeting the community of free culture activists active in Central and Eastern Europe. We believe that there is strength in greater regional collaboration, taking into account similarities between countries and relative lack of geographic distance. The workshop will support it through exchange of knowledge and collective policy work. Indirectly, we are targeting the broad free culture community – which we will provide with policy guidelines. |
