|---|---|
| Grants/2lifeCast + | Well, we are creating a working machine, and thus we are constantly producing creativity which we wish to offer either as a non-profit or profit, depending the "customer" we are targeting. Both ways we are offering at a reasonable price, at least to maintain the maching working. To do this, there are plenty funds coming from foundations or institutions we can gain once the association will raise a level which communicate our solidity and trust. Association will have a "fund raising" dept. along with "sales" to promote our actions. |
| Grants/A journey on foot--Chekhov in sounds project + | We will try to make us to be a big sound database and to find financial cooperating with commercial producer, movie producer ... Our team have experienced movie incidental music writer so we ca easily find cooperating partner. |
| Grants/Access to Knowledge and Alternatives to Copyright in El Salvador + | In order to continuing the efforts to deepen the knowledge about copyright and its alternatives in the stakeholders and to start the porting process of CC Licenses in El Salvador, one of this project’s outputs is a Project Profile and a strategy to search for funding. This output will be done with the involvement and collaboration of the institutions interested to participate in the process. |
| Grants/Adopting Highly-Reconfigurable, Networked Cameras for Live-Streamed Meetings + | The purpose of this grant would be to establish a working base in which the project would remain viable for major, future funding or business loans. Operating revenue may also be secured from sales of pre-configured kits through Open Video Productions, especially if no other funding is available. One prospective funding source is the Knight Foundation's Community Foundation Initiative, a pledge to grant $70 million to non-profit foundations across 26 eligible communities over the next 7 years (http://bit.ly/6Nujnl). The author remains optimistic that OpenMeetings.org will incorporate, obtain 501(c)3 status, and thus become eligible for major funding such that this work may continue in earnest. |
| Grants/Applying Creative Commons to rural development in China. + | As noted below in the section on scalability, we see two complementary user groups in for the project's future: communities in developed countries seeking to reskill and develop resilient communities in the face of a post-affluence economy; and communities in developing countries which have acquired access to at least some level of communications technology, and are coping with environmental and social change. In the first case we anticipate that sources in Europe and the US (such as the UK-based Tudor Trust and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation) could be likely sources of funding. In the second case, we will approach sources of funding including the Asian Development Bank. |
| Grants/Approach for a Working Emerging Field Through Scratch for Secondary Students + | We will search for private and state funding. The Cultural Centre Matucana 100 have great archive of contacts that could finance a educational proyect like these. Also we will research for other international fundings to make possible these project and other projects using Creative Commons licenses. |
| Grants/Arabic Open Educational Resources (OER) Platform + | The project aims to be self-sustainable and to run with limited resources. In the long term the project can be sustained by: 1- Sponsorship/Endowment. Other organizations can sponsor the project. Funds can also be raised from charitable or philanthropic institutions that are interested in culture and education. 2- Institutional Membership. We expect the educational institutes that adopts our platform will participate and provide running costs of the project. 3- Government Support. For the pilot phase, a number of Jordanian institutions have already expressed their interest for JOSA's projects, namely Jordan Education Initiative (JEI) and Queen Rania Al Abdullah Center For Educational Technology. JOSA will seek for more support from government entities in the Arab World. |
| Grants/Assessing the effect of license choice on the use of lexical resources + | The individual WordNets sustain themselves. If we can persuade them to use open licenses, this will encourage community participation in further expansion. Our experience is that is hard to get funding for resource maintenance, whereas communities are good at extending resources. Persuading WordNet projects to adopt open source licenses thus improves their sustainability. We will also seek academic grants at Nanyang Technological University to continue research on exploiting and creating WordNets. |
| Grants/AudioImager + | The software will be released under a open source license to source forge. The license is not yet been defined as the software will most likely use libraries and code from existing open source project. The license of those projects will likely affect the project software's license. The aim of the project is to attract software developers to carry on the developing the software. |
| Grants/Avbi personal : budget tax advisor web tool for Guatemala + | 1. making a banner system to sell advertisement which will be used not only to sell but to explain to possible clients the open source type and that they are helping others. 2. sponsors and/or investors. 3. make a pro version for business that can include a crm and cms. |
| Grants/BatasPinoy Project + | After funding has ended, we intend to encourage legal scholars to contribute their knowledge. And depending on the traffic and patronage of end-users of the site, we may seek for private donations or sponsors or other alternative business models to fund the production of more legal literature under a CC license. |
| Grants/Beirut Metblogs + | From the launch of the site we'll be soliciting local advertising and sponsors. By using a self serve ad platform combined with agency sold network ads we feel that it will be self sufficient within the first year after launching. |
| Grants/Best Practices for Startups: Leveraging CC to Optimize Resources + | The Incubator is continuously raising money for its different seminars, for Pre-Incubation, and Incubation. If these training sessions are successful, we can use the material created and case study to integrate it to our normal coaching sessions with entrepreneurs. Once the three months of investigation, preparation and implementation of materials are completed, we would then add the CC-specific seminars to the budgets for the following years. |
| Grants/BiDi en Iberoamèrica + | Karisma will sustain the platform after the launch while promoting its use by related communities and contribution via web 2.0 and social media tools. Significantly, all resources and content will be "free" and "open" therefore decreasing the need for major finantial support afther the fist stage of launching. |
| Grants/CC Asia Pacific Conference 2010 + | Once the conference ends, we will release and share the outcome with the participating jurisdictions and other interested parties via our website, newsletter, and blogs. For on-going projects and new items brought up during the conference, we will follow up on them and share their developments via newsletters, blogs, and the website and provide support for additional collaboration. In addition, we will keep contact with relevant communities and exchange ideas regarding what can be put forward down the road. |
| Grants/CC Commentary + | The initiative is costly mainly in the phase when the underlying technology is set up and the basic content structures formed. Later, the costs are limited to maintenance of servers and backups, webspace and domain costs. At this later stage, content contributions are meant to be as much pro-bono as possible. On top of the open access community contributing unpaid time in this way, it should be possible to find institutional support from universities, research institutions, foundations and consumer protection bodies to cover the remaining costs, or to find seed funding for extensions to the commentary. Also, the sale of hard copies of the commentary can possibly generate funds to cover the long term costs. |
| Grants/CC Full-dome + | We will sustain the project by making it not just "our project", but a project by the community for the community that is transferable to any place with a space big enough and people adventurous enough to undertake similar work. In the next phase, we will be using our media server to control a Ubuntu-based render farm for the rendering of film projects and run a weekly full-dome projection night. The full-dome will also be used for artistic experimentation and intermedia theater. We expect to raise money through public funding agencies such as EU funds for transnational cooperation projects and donations to our non-profit organization. |
| Grants/CC Latin Policy + | The research will be completed within the project period. But it could continue after the delivery of the report and the paper, for instance by presenting the paper to more conferences, or leading more interviews in more countries. The personal costs that are presently already covered by national research agencies employing the project leads will continue. Networking is ensured through the CC affiliated institutions. Future meetings which imply a travel budget would require fundraising through other means (European or national project proposals). This comparative study and the resulting paper are the first step of a long term research project about these tendencies worldwide. |
| Grants/CC Policy Makers and Industry Leaders Arab World Forum + | We are planning, by holding this forum to bring government officials and academics onside in support of CC in Jordan. There is a high potential to develop the connection between CC Jordan and Jordanian government, educational institutions. As a result we hope to encourage funding institutions in Jordan and abroad to support future projects that would help further the adoption of CC in these sectors in Jordan. |
| Grants/CC Uploader for Drupal + | The Open Media Project and Creative Commons module both leverage the Drupal.org infrastructure for hosting code, managing issues, and bringing people together around shared needs. Like all Drupal modules, this solution would improve when any organization using it invests in an improvement. While the Uploader wouldn't be a Drupal module itself, it would leverage Drupal and be distributed with the Open Media Show module (http://drupal.org/project/om_show). Any organization that would like to improve the Uploader, could hire a developer or use existing staff to update the code and contribute a patch. If other Uploader users test and approve the patch, the improvements would become part of future releases. Drupal.org provides the structure for users with the same feature request to combine the minimal funding each individual organization can contribute into a larger bounty more likely to attract developer attention. There would be no specific plans to continue developing the Uploader beyond what locations using it fund themselves. While leveraging Drupal, the Uploader itself will not require Drupal. I expect that additional funds will be raised to port this functionality to Joomla, Word Press, and other CMSes. |
| Grants/CDLD Editions + | We plan to start offering publicity on our web page to local and national artistic and cultural organizations, government and private. This first year will be to get the page rolling, stock it with material, and make a name for ourselves in order to get enough traffic to get advertisers interested. Besides that, we would add a "Donations" option on the page. |
| Grants/CDLD.ORG / Virtual Documentation Center of the Arts + | Publicity. At first we´ll start out with no adds on the page, at least for duration of the grant. After that, when to page has enough traffic, it will be easy enough to get advertisers interested. At that time, the heaviest work for us (scanning and uploading our file) will be done, and the costs for the page will be much lower, making it easier for it to survive solely with advertisers. Besides that, we plan to add a "donations" option on the page. |
| Grants/Cacao, Commons’ Central American Observatory + | Through the initial support of Creative Commons, Cacao would be able to look for grants in different Institutions that support media analysis, communitarian journalism, transparency and freedom of expression in Central America. |
| Grants/Catalyst Languages + | After the three-year duration of the grant, the vast bulk of set-up and dissemination work would be complete and the position of CC Co-ordinator would be phased out. The resource would only need routine maintainence, a responsibility which would be shared between the school VLE co-ordinator and the IT technician, under the supervision of the Head of Languages. Further training would be passed on within our own and partner institutions as part of the regular programme of In-Service Training. The greatest problem here is if the use of the service grew so exponentially as to create a burden on our web hosting and bandwith services, which would be proof of the project's success and enable us to present a compelling case to the Department of Education that the project is not only worth the minimal cost which expansion of these services would require, but is actually one of the most cost-effective ways of enhancing quality educational provision. Indeed savings made on not having to buy and replace textbooks and other resources would contribute considerably to the infrastructure costs. |
| Grants/Central and Eastern European Free Culture Policy Workshop + | The workshop is a one-time event with a clear output and end date. We hope to make this a regular event - but will evaluate the need to do so after the first workshop. By networking activists in the region we plan to create a possibility for starting future projects together. |
