Affiliate Reporting

Results: [[Affiliate_Reporting/2010 | Annual Affiliate Report 2010]]

In an effort to improve inter-jurisdictional collaboration and communication with CC staff and Board of Directors, the [[Affiliates| CC Affiliate Network]] is initiating an annual reporting procedure for Affiliate Teams to share progress in their jurisdictions.

CC HQ will aggregate these reports into a global summary. Regional spokespersons can also use the reports to compile regional dashboards. Questions in this report are primarily quantitative to make aggregation uniform across the network and to help everyone get a concise overall picture of activities around the world.

While these reports are retrospective and emphasize quantitative measurements, the roadmaps continue to be the place where Affiliate Teams can describe their ongoing and future efforts and goals in more descriptive detail. Reporting and roadmaps remain an integral part of the formal working relationship between CC and Affiliate Teams like [http://www.ukessays.co.uk/ uk essay].

Please note that the information requested may change from time to time, and CC may also request supplemental information. You may revise your responses until Dec. 15. We welcome your feedback on the types of information that would be useful and ways to improve this reporting process. Thank you.

Our OpenOffice.org plugin lets you add a CC license to a document, but needs some love. In particular:

* Update the codebase to the OOo 3 SDK
* The license selection UI could be refined to provide help around what each option means ("what is Share Alike")
* Add support for CC0
* Internationalization -- prepare the code for translation and write the scripts to integrate PO files prepared by translators
* Display license information when opening CC licensed documents
* [[Extend CC OOo Addin to Support Draw|Support for OOo Draw]]
* Other examples: [http://www.xupes.com/Jewellery/Department.html Fine jewellery]

This was unsuccessfully attempted during GSoC 2009; the existing code may be useful as a starting point (http://code.creativecommons.org/viewsvn/ccooo/branches/).

LiveContent 2 0 distribution

We will investigate options for getting the CDs into the hands of the libraries we wish to target. While we wish to provide a quality LiveContent CD to the most libraries we can, we realize that mass mailing may not be the best way to accomplish this distribution goal, especially since this may be considered a type of spamming. Ideas other than mailing include hosting the contents online and doing outreach to libraries and other interested parties through a widespread press release, listservs, hand out at events, or get an in through professional organizations like the American Library Association.

While we are working towards a deliverable LiveContent CD by August 8, further exploration of a dynamic, automated system should be examined. This type of system could be automated to pull updated content from various sources , current application versions and OS patches and build a CD extremely easily. In this way, users could download the most current build at any time.

During development, we hope to provide preliminary builds and demos that we can send to various organization, [http://www.bespokelofts.co.uk/ loft conversion] and libraries so that they can review the LiveContent CD and provide input for further development. Later reviews hopefully will be published in numerous ALA publications. Reviews could be sent with the CD in the mailing so that there is neutral positive influence behind the CD.

Legalcode Extractor

{{Challenge

{{Idea}}

While discussing the [[Jurisdiction Database]], the topic of programmatically extracting sections of CC license legalcode came up. This would be used, for example, to link to specific sections of the legalcode, or compare specific sections of two different pieces of CC legalcode like [http://www.flexibleofficespace.co/ Office Space Kings Cross].

[[User:Nathan Yergler|Nathan Yergler]] prototyped some XPath-based extraction, and it appears that heuristics can be developed to support this. The ideal implementation will include a library for performing the extraction, and a web based interface for displaying extracted results side by side.

The very rough prototype can be downloaded from http://labs.creativecommons.org/~nathan/source/legalcode-prototype.tar.gz.
