{{Infobox|'''This project has been retired.
  
[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.

=== LiveCD for Libraries - Development and Mailing ===
+
'''Contribute!'''
  
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 listservs, etc. Content can also be delivered in other formats - thumbdrives, DVDs.

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:
  
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 project will consist:

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.
  
CD will be for public terminals at libraries. The object is to get as many libraries to install FOSS on their current system.

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.

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.

B) Purchase a mailing list from the American Library Association and other available mailing lists. http://www.ala.org/ala/alalibrary/libraryfactsheet/mailinglist.pdf  Cost of ALA mailing list $200/1,000 for names and addresses on laser labels. Working on ways to get the list discounted.

C) 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.
 
 
 
D) The mailing will have a mail back questionaire asking did they install software and other general questions.  
 
 
 
E) Come up with a suitable name (URL) for the CD, create ISO images and website dedicate to information on CD.
 
 
 
F) Find the most cost effective CD Duplication Service, Ideas on how the CD, review and information will be packaged.
 
 
 
Mr. Alex Choong of Innotech Resources Pte Ltd (worldlabel.com.sg) will cover the cost of duplication of master Library CD. 8000 to 1000pcs with jewel box or sleve. He wants will also implement a program in Singapore and Malaysia to distribute the CD to libraries. He mentioned wanting reference to this in press releases.
 
 
 
Similar projects exist but are dormant: http://marketing.openoffice.org/pa/ It would be great if it can intergrated with this project. Cooperation with OO is necessary to insure OOo is represented according the wishes of their project.
 
 
 
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 extremly receptive to the CD idea.
