[http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLiveCd Gnome] has one. So does [http://mono-live.com Mono]. Why not CC?  A successful completion of this challenge would produce an ISO image for a bootable system that would be filled with CC licensed content and whatever the state-of-the-art in CC enabled applications is at that time.  You might base it on Knoppix, Ubuntu's Live CD, or roll your own.

LiveContent can be delivered in a variety of ways, such as through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveDistro LiveDistros].  These have traditionally been a vehicle to test an operating system or applications live. The operating systems and/or applications are directly booted from a CD, DVD or other type of media without needing to install the actual software on a machine.

Worldlabel.com is supporting the development of the LiveCD. The CD will be mailed to approx 6500 libraries as an initial test.
 
  
−
Ideas other than mailing include hosting the contents online and doing outreach to libraries and other interested parties through a widespread press release, listservs, etc. Content can also be delivered in other formats - thumbdrives, DVDs, netboot.

Creative Commons doesn't maintain a list of CC-licensed media, but we encourage the community of organizations and services with CC-powered projects to add themselves to the Content Directories. This is a listing of creative initiatives using CC licensing. We provide an intuitive form to make it easy for you to add your project. Share your creativity and check out the others who are using CC too.

=== Target ===
 
  
−
CD will be for public terminals at libraries.  The object is to get as many libraries to install Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) on their current systems. We will be aiming the implementation at librarians and library administrators. We need to come up with the best package that will be most useful to them. How can we showcase FOSS, open documents (worldlabel) and CC-licensed material? We'll have very limited amount of space if we use a CD (700 mb).

LiveContent aims for better standards and API specifications so that others can manipulate CC content feeds. LiveContent 2.0 demonstrates the autocuration process, made possible by well-documented APIs from organizations like Flickr. Check it out here and help us standardize. You can have your content featured on a LiveContent disc too.
−
We strongly believe that libraries are a great way to plant seeds in the community to help Free Software to become popular. This project will bring more awareness to Open Source and help under funded Libraries save money so they can buy more books.

The CD will be reviewed by numerous librarians from Open Source division of Lita.org (Library Information Technology Ass.) http://www.lita.org is a part of The American Library Ass. http://www.ala.org/  These reviews hopefully will be published in numerous ALA publications. This review will be sent with the CD in the mailing so that there is neutral positive influence behind the CD and is not just coming from a commercial entity.
