| − | The idea of LiveContent is based upon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveDistro LiveDistro], a live instance of an operating system that can be booted from a CD or other type of media without needing to install the actual software on a machine.
| + | {{Infobox|'''This project has been retired. |

| − | LiveContent is an umbrella idea which aims to provide added features in addition to a CD-bootable operating system. With LiveContent, other applications and content can be coupled with the OS and delivered through various methods.

| + | '''Welcome to the CC LiveContent project!''' |
| | | | |
| − | [http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLiveCd Gnome] has one. So does [http://mono-live.com Mono]. Why not Creative Commons? 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 content and open source applications are at that time. Creative Commons will team with [http://www.redhat.com/ Red Hat], [http://www.worldlabel.com/ Worldlabel.com] and [http://www.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice] in order to produce a LiveCD that can be presented to libraries throughout the US as an example of free open source software, open document formats and Creative Commons-licensed content. Worldlabel is supporting the development and distribution of the LiveCD.
| + | *LiveContent '''disseminates''' creative and interactive content and software through media |
| | + | *LiveContent '''identifies''' CC-powered projects, creators and content providers working to share their creations with the world |
| | + | *LiveContent '''supports''' the development of standardized technologies to make open content easier to find and redistribute |
| | | | |

| + | '''Contribute!''' |
| | | | |

| + | LiveContent is made possible through the community of creators, content curators, and developers. Creative Commons encourages others to provide ideas, feedback, comments and connections to other projects on this wiki page. There are many ways to contribute: |
| − | Open Source Software (FOSS) on their current systems. We will be aiming the implementation at librarians and library administrators.
| |
| | | | |
| − | 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.

| − | At this time, it seems that CDs provide the best media format that is accessible to most library computer terminals.

| | + | 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. |

| | + | 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. |

| − | ==== Distribution Options ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | We will investigate options for getting the CDs into the hands of the libaries we wish to target. While we wish to provide a quality LiveCD 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 LiveCD 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Timeline ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | June 11
| |
| − | *Brainstorming "best-of" CC-licensed content to include with the LiveCD
| |
| − | *Connect with other organizations - ALA, LITA, FOSS
| |
| − | | |
| − | June 18
| |
| − | *trying out different spins
| |
| − | | |
| − | June 25
| |
| − | *Provide a demo to send to LITA so that we can get feedback. Possibly at ALA conference in Washington, DC
| |
| − | | |
| − | July 2
| |
| − | *Writing, collecting documentation for Fedora, apps, CC-licenses
| |
| − | | |
| − | July 9
| |
| − | *have basic liveCD build completed
| |
| − | | |
| − | July 16
| |
| − | | |
| − | July 23
| |
| − | | |
| − | July 30
| |
| − | | |
| − | August 6
| |
| − | *LiveCD rollout at Linuxworld - San Francisco
| |
| − | | |
| − | August 8th
| |
| − | *LiveCD rollout CC Salon - San Francisco
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Potential Issues ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | *what kinds of agreements do libraries have with software providers now, if any?
| |
| − | *make the cds very intuitive, well-labeled, good supporting documentation
| |
| − | *how do we distribute without spamming?
| |
| − | *will libraries trust what we send to them?
| |
| − | *will libraries notice it or have time to look at it?
| |
| − | *less to do with the software and more to do with presentation and documentation
| |
| − | *focus on low income areas?
| |
| − | *will CC put on material that covers all the different licenses? or least restrictive? - attribution only
| |
| − | *different libraries have different budgets which allow for a vast range in hardware and training
| |
| − | *The mailing will have a mail back questionaire asking did they install software and other general questions. - rethink this idea due to spamming/response issues?
| |
| − | *what about adding the CDs to library collections? - might be a good way for people to install or use at home, but doesn't align too well with the applications and content becoming obsolete
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Collaboration ====
| |
| − | *Connect with OCLC?
| |
| − | **http://www.oclc.org/default.htm

| − | **http://www.oclc.org/research/staff/default.htm
| |
| − | **http://www.oclc.org/research/software/default.htm
| |
| − | **http://www.oclc.org/research/software/opensource.htm
| |
| − | | |
| − | *The CD will be reviewed by numerous librarians from Open Source division of the [http://www.lita.org Library Information Technology Association (LITA)], an arm of the [http://www.ala.org American Library Association]. 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.

| − | *Researching 3 libraries in Putnam County, N.Y. in upscale districts, the 3 libraries had Openoffice.org, Firefox and Gimp installed. Further research in under privileged areas will be done. Visited private library which relies on Donations in Cold Springs, NY. Had no FOSS installed and where extremely receptive to the CD idea.
