We strongly believe that libraries are a great way to plant seeds in the community to help the FOSS movement expand. This project will help bring more awareness to open source by providing an example of an operating system and free open source applications that could be implemented on library patron terminals. If the ideas can catch on, the long-range effects might be that libraries would begin to implement free open source software on machines permanently, thus providing a wealth of benefits both to patrons in terms of a more free computing environment and severing the long-standing ties between libraries and proprietary software license fees.

LiveContent 2.0 works to address several technical issues surrounding our interaction with open content. First, 2.0 aims to develop, using the Fedora architecture, a daily build structure of the LiveContent LiveDVD. Second, 2.0 aims to generate "autocurated content." Autocurated content uses APIs and content feeds from open content providers and hosting organizations that can be used to pull down the most current, "live" open content. Third, 2.0 aims to provide a nudge to prompt more content curators to provide standardized open content feeds so that others can use this infrastructure for their own projects.

**Explore Creative Commons-licensed content by clicking on the icons labeled audio, video, image, text and education.
 
−
**Explore open source applications by clicking on the menu at the top of the screen.

====What is Creative Commons?====
+
*Check out user-generated creative content like photos, music, and videos sourced from sites like Flickr, Jamendo, and Blip.tv. All the content available here is free and ready to copy, share, remix, and reuse. Click on the desktop icons to explore content within that category. All the content is licensed with one of our six main [http://creativecommons.org/about/license/ Creative Commons licenses]. Access the applications by clicking "Applications" in the menu at the lower left corner of the desktop. Plug in a thumb drive to save open content to it.

Creative Commons provides free tools that allow you to share your creative works with the world. When you share your creativity, you're enabling people anywhere to use it, learn from it, and be inspired by it. Whenever you create something, like a song, photograph, story, drawing or film, you automatically own an "All Rights Reserved" copyright to the creative work. Copyright gives you, the artist, important rights that allow you to say how others can use the creativity. Sometimes full copyright is too restrictive--it forces others to ask your permission before they can use your creativity. If you want your work to be freely shared, used, and built upon by the rest of the world, Creative Commons is the way. Creative Commons provides free copyright licenses that let you say which parts of your copyright you're willing to give to the public. The process is easy. Go to our website and answer a few questions about how how you'd like others to be able to use your creation, and we'll give you a license that clearly communicates what people can and cannot do with your creativity. You don't give up your copyright, you refine it. The world of collaboration rules, and today there are millions of song, pictures, and written works that are free for you to share, reuse, and remix. Creative Commons helps build this world of open content, and you can help.

====What is free, open source software (FOSS)?====
+
2. ''Developing Technical Standards''
−
All the software you see on this LiveContent DVD is free and open source. Free as in free speech, not free as in price (although this is often the case too!). Free means users have the freedom copy, freedom modify, and the freedom to share their creations with others. The operating system and applications here look the same as others you'll find on Windows-based platform, but down deep, the guts are different. More importantly, the ideals are different.  The source code, the stuff that makes computers run, is free--liberated, in a sense.

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.
+
==Community Involvement==
  
−
During development, we hope to provide preliminary builds and demos that we can send to various organization 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.

Latest revision as of 20:38, 15 September 2013


This project has been retired. The ISO of the DVD is available here.

LiveContent 2.0 is a LiveDVD full of free and open source software and Creative Commons' licensed open content — audio, video, image, text and educational resources. LiveContent is a project for anyone to explore to learn more about about open content that can be freely used, copied, and built upon.

Help us identify more great CC-licensed content by adding suggestions HERE.

Goals

  1. Daily build infrastructure
  2. Autocuration of Open Content
  3. Standardization of content feeds and APIs

LiveContent 2.0 works to address several technical issues surrounding our interaction with open content. First, 2.0 aims to develop, using the Fedora architecture, a daily build structure of the LiveContent LiveDVD. Second, 2.0 aims to generate "autocurated content." Autocurated content uses APIs and content feeds from open content providers and hosting organizations that can be used to pull down the most current, "live" open content. Third, 2.0 aims to provide a nudge to prompt more content curators to provide standardized open content feeds so that others can use this infrastructure for their own projects.

We believe that the LiveContent distro can provide a useful platform that allows users to test explore free and open content and test out free, open source software. The LiveContent distro provides information and documentation about Creative Commons, the FOSS movement, and demos to how users can take advantage of the media included to re-create, re-mix and re-share content.

Welcome to LiveContent 2.0

  • Creative Commons LiveContent is a project to showcase and spread the word about open content that you can freely use, copy, and build upon. The LiveContent disc is a LiveDVD full of a sampling of and links to free and open source creativity software and Creative Commons' licensed free and open content — audio, video, image, and text — for anyone to explore. Please use this disc if you are interested in trying free media and possibly want to create your own with tools like OpenOffice.org, Inkscape, Gimp and more.

LiveContent Goals

1. Exploring and Creating with Open Content

  • Check out user-generated creative content like photos, music, and videos sourced from sites like Flickr, Jamendo, and Blip.tv. All the content available here is free and ready to copy, share, remix, and reuse. Click on the desktop icons to explore content within that category. All the content is licensed with one of our six main Creative Commons licenses. Access the applications by clicking "Applications" in the menu at the lower left corner of the desktop. Plug in a thumb drive to save open content to it.

2. Developing Technical Standards

  • LiveContent 2.0 works to address technical issues surrounding our interaction with open content:
    • Developing a daily LiveDVD build to be hosted at Fedora Project site
    • "Autocurating" Open Content feeds from sites like Flickr and Jamendo
    • Pushing to standardize APIs so that others can also easily interact with the content provided by CC-friendly content curators

3. Connecting and Participating

  • There are lots of exciting projects working to foster a sharing economy of information, creative media and open content. Help support projects to minimize barriers to sharing and reusing, and help build the open content base by adding your favorite CC-licensed-powered project to the Content Directories on the CC wiki.

What is Creative Commons?

  • Creative Commons provides free tools that allow creators like authors, artists, scientists and educators share their work with the world. Creative Commons let you legally share, remix and reuse creativity!

What is free, open source software (FOSS)?

  • Free, open source software grants users the ability to freely run, copy, modify and share software with others. It's an important community that empowers innovation and creativity without the lock-in of proprietary software. The LiveContent disc is built on Fedora, a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.


Quitting out of LiveContent

  • Quit out of LiveContent by clicking "System" from the menubar at the bottom of the desktop. Next, click "Shut Down" and choose whether to restart the computer into the default operating system or shut down.
