| Grants/2lifeCast + | The main tool used by 2lifeCast is streaming video. We are leader in Italy for streaming video in Virtual words like Second Life and OpenSim and the first one to cross real, web and virtual worlds at once. At the moment our work is based on QuickTime Broadcaster, but one of our aim is to find a simple way to broadcast from Windows using open source or cheap software. Then the distribution is made through "channels" and measured by the tools described above. |
| Grants/A journey on foot--Chekhov in sounds project + | we use css tool and java to build a website. |
| Grants/Access to Knowledge and Alternatives to Copyright in El Salvador + | For the development of the website a Free-software will be used. Beyond that, there are no technical requirements relevant to this project.

| Grants/Applying Creative Commons to rural development in China. + | FrontlineSMS: with a low-end mobile phone connected to a PC via USB, Frontline SMS can manage SMS lists and text-message processing. This will be used to conduct surveys of villagers and of children in their boarding schools. The village school in Gangfang is equipped with a computer laboratory with Windows PCs. In Qingbiankou, Li Rong has put together a PC-equipped training centre. Windows Movie Maker is therefore going to be the default video editor. Using this and a free format-conversion tool such as VLC, we will train young people to edit video clips from their phone into a tagged and categorized online repository of interviews. Emlyn Phillips has already been working with Chinese NGOs to identify uses for Frontline SMS in China. Both Emlyn and Zhang Danhave strong I.T. and training backgrounds. |
| Grants/Approach for a Working Emerging Field Through Scratch for Secondary Students + | For the proyect "Approach for a Working Emerging Field Through Scratch for Secondary Students" we will use ten tochscrenn netbooks with Ubuntu Operating System. In each of them wi will install Scratch. For the workshops we will use also a datashow projector. I have a great technical expirience teaching video editing, animation, digital photograph. Besides I have programm in Actionscript, Processing, Mobile Processing, Flex, and have basic knowledge of PHP. I have a long expirience researching the are of the new medias, the hybrid of art and technology. |
| Grants/Arabic Open Educational Resources (OER) Platform + | For this project only free and open source technologies will be used. The web platform will be implemented using content management systems or LCMSs (e.g. Drupal or moodle). The project needs fully-localized interfaces and data processing, easy translation tools, an Arabic clean implementation of SCORM technical standards and other “E-Learning 2.0” requirements. |
| Grants/Assessing the effect of license choice on the use of lexical resources + | We will use text mining techniques to find references to wordnets in academic papers (from the Global WordNet Conference proceedings and the Association for Computational Linguistics Anthology) and applications (sourceforge). We intend to reuse techniques from Kozawa et al (2008) for this. This will be enhanced with data from questionnaire's and interviews. Automatic Acquisition of Usage Information for Language Resources, Shunsuke Kozawa, Hitomi Tohyama, Kiyotaka Uchimoto and Shigeki Matsubara, In Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2008), pp. 672-677, Marrakech, Morocco, May, 2008. The open WordNet server will require some programming and experience with dictionary formats, we are very experienced in this area. |
| Grants/AudioImager + | The software will try to analyze the audio files using speech recognition. It is likely that the speech recognition alone does not provide accurate tagging and the user will be provided ways to refine and replace the tags manually. The software will then fetch the responding photos from users own hard drive or from Flickr. The software is client based running on Java. The software will use open codec to turn the audio and images into video file. |
| Grants/Avbi personal : budget tax advisor web tool for Guatemala + | technologies:Apache/php/mysql (open source types licenses) for developing the web application , installed in a server and with internet connection. i am a freelancer working in computers since 1995 as a technician, educator, developer and webmaster , currently focused on php web applications. |
| Grants/BatasPinoy Project + | The project will utilize open source applications for each technology needs, to which we are very familiar with in terms of technical skills. We do not need additional hardware or equipments. |
| Grants/Beirut Metblogs + | We use the open source blogging platform Wordpress with a suite of custom plugins. We are also in the process of customizing the open source Ushahidi crowd source mapping project to allow contributors to build up to date maps of problem areas in their cities based on on the ground updates from readers. The technical needs are minor as, at least in the near short term, the sites will be sharing hosting with our other Metblogs sites. We have several years of experience customizing open source technologies to meet the needs of the authors allowing them to get the message to their readers in a timely and technologically relevant manner. |
| Grants/Best Practices for Startups: Leveraging CC to Optimize Resources + | The project will use blogs, webpages, and social networking sites both to recruit participants and to share the outcomes of the workshops and all other material produced. The BIG Ideas team has specialized in providing entrepreneurial tools, training, and other support. This includes expertise in economics, finance, marketing and public relations, networking, sales, operations and development. We would need technical assistance in the legal area. BIG Ideas works directly with a legal firm in Guatemala (with presence in Central America) which could collaborate pro-bono with their technical skills in this area. We would also seek to work with the CC team in Guatemala to receive their support during the different phases of the project. |
| Grants/BiDi en Iberoamèrica + | The project will use Web 2.0 technologies taking advantage of he possible interaction between the content creator and interested users without specific and complicated technical skills |
| Grants/CC Asia Pacific Conference 2010 + | For effective research and efficient communication among staff and volunteers during the preparation and for pre-conference projects, we will actively take advantage of online tools such as instant messenger, blog, microblogging service, as well as email. Open-source tools and web-based applets will be used and customized to develop an official web site for the event. |
| Grants/CC Commentary + | The initiative would mainly rely on free software tools like Drupal and LAMP to compile and present the commentary, as well as on collaborative OpenGroupWare for enabling collaboration of the curators group. From other projects the Academy can draw on a group of software developers of its own, of external partners like jurmatix Inc. and on student interns to have the authoring system built (or to adapt existing systems to the needs of the initiative). The skills to manage a project of changing proportions are present both in the Academy and in the iRights.info project group. The legal tools used for giving freedom to the commentary content would be either CC BY or CC0. |
| Grants/CC Full-dome + | We will be building the dome with aluminum and PVC sheeting. We will use 8 small speakers in order to create surround sound. Video projection will be controlled by a 64bit computer built for is role as "video projection & audio services manager" and useful in the future during non-presentation times as queue-manager for the render farm / Beowulf server. We are audio-video professionals with a variety of backgrounds ranging from coding to fine art, who have come together to find an elegant solution to a rather simple (but to date more or less unaddressed) problem. Our technical needs are: a number-crunching six-core i7 computer with 16gb ram, 2x 500GB with an ATI Radeon HD-5450, an 8-channel sound card, 800watt ATX power supply, a TripleHead2Go, three XGA video projectors and 8 speakers. (Or a time-machine to ten years in the future where your iPhone is faster and has a built in projector.) |
| Grants/CC Latin Policy + | The project requires basic communication, interview recording and blogging tools. Technical needs are covered by the project leads and their institutions. Their technical skills and expertise include knowledge of CC licenses, OA policies, local institutional landscapes, civil law and latin administrative and policy culture. The project is part of the research agenda of the two project leads who have tenured academic positions and experience in negotiating with local partners of public institutions. |
| Grants/CC Policy Makers and Industry Leaders Arab World Forum + | There is not particular technology needed for running this event. We expected to obtain all necessary equipment at the venue that we chose for the forum. |
| Grants/CC Uploader for Drupal + | The CC Uploader itself will be a stand alone PHP solution that can be easily configured using XAMP or MAMP. It will leverage the Archive.org and Blip.tv APIs. Metadata, licensing, and producer's authentication credentials will be stored in Drupal. That Drupal site can exist on a server within the orgnazation's facility or on an external, shared hosting environment. The XAMP or MAMP solution will be installed on the same network as the video archive on lower end hardware. |
| Grants/CDLD Editions + | As far as technologies and tools, we will use Weebly and ISSUU. The technical skills and expertise we bring to the project is editorial design, proofreading, translation and our long lists of contacts for collaborators. Our technical needs are just our laptops and internet access, pretty much. |
| Grants/CDLD.ORG / Virtual Documentation Center of the Arts + | Currently the page is at it´s beta phase and it´s being programmed on Flash. The technical skills and expertise we bring to the project are the programming capacities, design, we both have BA degrees in Visual Arts, a close relationship with out community and the most important part: a huge archive to start out the page with. Our technical needs are basically our laptops and internet access. In the detailed budget, we are also asking for a Neatdesk digital scanner and filing system for Mac to help us out digitalizing the archive. |
| Grants/Cacao, Commons’ Central American Observatory + | The project is based on a wordpress platform. It tries to generate analysis about handling information. The technical skills are administration and management of information. The project will generate a space for critic analysis in the use of Information Technology in Central America. The technical needs are a domain, hosting and a wordpress template. |
| Grants/Catalyst Languages + | The project will not attempt to create new technology. We will be using pre-existing internet hosting and communications applications and deliver training to teachers in order that they might maximise their use of this. This will include details of how to create, share and remix audio, video and slide-show teaching tools using open-source software. |
| Grants/Central and Eastern European Free Culture Policy Workshop + | Our technical needs are minimal. We will use simple, freely available tools to coordinate the project, collectively gather knowledge and produce content. |
