The Remix Cycle is a framework for looking at sustainability as a media creator. Remix-it, Share-it, and Prof-it (and then back again, as the cylce goes on and on)
The document discusses options for revising the noncommercial (NC) licenses in Creative Commons' version 4.0 release. It notes that NC licenses have issues like a lack of clear definition, underuse of non-NC licenses, and built-in non-interoperability. Some proposed options are: (1) phasing out NC licenses over time, (2) simplifying the suite by dropping two NC licenses, (3) rebranding NC licenses under a different domain, or (4) clarifying the NC definition. The document analyzes pros and cons of different approaches but does not make a recommendation.

iMoot 2014 - Developing a Course in the Open: A Case StudyPaul Hibbitts
While open education resources get all the love, and deservingly so, developing any course in the open can also add a lot of value and possibilities. In this session Paul Hibbitts will share his first-hand experiences of developing both a university course (Simon Fraser University) and continuing studies course (The University of British Columbia) in the open. Topics will include the various aspects of undertaking an open development approach and some of the Paul’s favorite tools and techniques used along the way.
This document discusses sharing and remixing videos legally under Creative Commons licenses. It provides examples of popular videos that have been shared widely, such as "Chocolate Rain" and music videos from bands like Spoon. It also links to information about using content marked with CC0 for waiving rights and the CC+ project for developing additional licenses beyond standard Creative Commons licenses.
Este texto ofrece un punto de partida para que los diseñadores se interesen e involucren en las dinámicas del Diseño Libre: se propone la optimización del ejercicio del diseño a través del uso de software libre y contenidos libres y por lo tanto, su vinculación como actores de desarrollo, crecimiento, mejoramiento y expansión de obras basadas en Propiedad Intelectual Colaborativa.
Este texto también busca explorar las diferentes opciones que tienen los diseñadores visuales para ejercer sus labores, mediante el uso y apropiación de herramientas de software libre (FLOSS) y de los contenidos libres, como los licenciados con Creative Commons, y de esta forma analizar como
pueden ser usados como alternativas funcionales para el ejercicio del Diseño Visual y ver como permiten potenciar el trabajo del diseñador y ampliar la proyección de sus productos.

Mainstreaming OER in Support of Achieving SDG4Cable Green
The document discusses how open educational resources (OER) can help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG4 which focuses on education. It argues that OER can be continuously updated to teach about the SDGs, connecting education to solving global challenges. Students could also help create and revise OER about the SDGs, allowing their work to make a meaningful impact while also motivating deeper learning. The document promotes mainstreaming OER to support achieving the SDGs.
Connecting the Open Social Web with OStatus (#FOWA2010)Jon Phillips
This document discusses the decentralized social web and federated social networking. It promotes implementing OStatus and ActivityStreams standards to enable interoperability across social networking platforms. It encourages taking the Social Web Acid Test challenge and provides instructions on how to enable OStatus functionality like PubSubHubbub, Salmon, and Webfinger to connect user profiles and activities across networks in a decentralized way.
Today, desirability of products is manufactured by a brand – messages from an army of advertisers and companies spending billions of euros yearly to create a perception of desirability in their products or services. Tomorrow, the desirability of products will be more about the relationship created between an object and consumer – conversations before, during and after purchase that reflect the understanding of each other’s needs.
This talk explores desirability in the age of connected products – a provocation on designing for form, interaction and tone of voice when products can speak for themselves.

1) Creative Commons licenses have been enforced in courts in various countries, including Belgium, Israel, and Germany. In these cases, authors sued for license breaches when their works were used without proper attribution or for commercial purposes without permission.
2) Community enforcement of Creative Commons licenses also occurs, such as when a far-right political party used an image without attribution and the author sought an injunction.
3) The document argues that while legal enforcement is important, over-reliance on lawyers could undermine the Creative Commons movement. Instead, Creative Commons should focus on building databases and improving licenses to make them more user-friendly, especially for institutions.

Presentation at the 13th International Free Software Forum, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Abstract: In Latin America, it’s well-understood that Brazil was pioneering in considering FOSS to be both a strategy and a tool for regional economic development. But what about the rest of the world? As FOSS/OSS enters the mainstream of industry, how are countries in Europe and Asia looking at this disruptive force in software development? And what is happening in the United States where one could argue a very strong proprietary software industry is reinventing itself, with the U.S. government both following and leading the open development model?
This talk discusses FOSS from the perspective of open information technology ecosystems and government’s role in them, providing a picture of the changing landscape of software industries and the potential for localized economic benefit to those participating. It includes a perspective of how governments are experimenting with becoming more directly involved with the open source community, and to learn from them. Stories and examples are drawn for the speakers experience, research and direct involvement with government, academic and industry bodies creating exemplary projects and reference models for others to consider.
The document discusses open content libraries and provides an overview of the Open Clip Art Library and ccHost software. It describes what an open content library is, provides examples of current open and mixed content libraries, and discusses the need for more libraries. It also outlines the features and uses of the ccHost software that powers several open content libraries.
The document discusses Raincity Studios, an open source advocacy group and web development company. It focuses on their use of Drupal, an open source content management system. Key points covered include Raincity's clients, Drupal's features and growth, the Drupal community, and how both non-profits and large companies utilize open source and Drupal.
The document discusses Creative Commons (CC) licenses and their role in facilitating the sharing and reuse of creative works. CC licenses provide free alternatives to traditional "all rights reserved" copyright, allowing content creators to choose how their works can be shared, reused, and remixed by others. Millions of pieces of content online are now licensed under CC, lowering the barriers for reuse compared to traditional copyright and permissions systems.

The document discusses Creative Commons (CC) licenses and their role in facilitating the legal sharing, reuse, and remixing of creative works. CC licenses provide alternatives to traditional "all rights reserved" copyright by allowing content creators to specify which rights, such as distribution or commercial use, others can have to their works. This lowers barriers to accessing and building upon public knowledge and cultural resources, supporting a more participative culture compared to the traditional permissions model. Millions of works online now use CC licenses.
What is FLOSH? Is there a legal share-a-like framewok? What are the common practices? Where are we heading?

Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest free and open source software. It is built and maintained by an international community of volunteers as a collaboration project. Key aspects of Fedora include its focus on freedom, features, community involvement, and being a testing ground for new technologies before they are included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Students lose track of time as they spend hours navigating the web for material to create their stories and feel a sense of belonging through encouragement by their peers to post their stories on Facebook, illustrate them on Flickr, and share them with friends and the public at large through the multiple resources available on the web. This participation in new media environments is a way to be creative and innovative, but it is also new opportunities for our students to acquire and synthesize information in a meaningful way. Students today often remix original texts based on their own interests in order to create a new work that encapsulates their ideas and concerns about the issues that matter most to them.
In this conversation, Erin Reilly will highlight tools and strategies our students are using today to make their voices heard. You will learn how to adapt these tools and strategies to classroom activities that will encourage everyone in the classroom to participate in their own learning and be encouraged to transform digital media and learning into a collective, embracing, and transforming process of engagement that leaves teachers and students alike wanting more.
The document discusses open source technologies and business models. It provides an overview of popular open source components like Linux, Java, and MySQL. It also lists some of the biggest players in open source like IBM, Red Hat, and individual developers. Finally, it encourages participants to get involved in open source to improve and diversify their skills.
Open Access Week - University of Texas at AustinGarin Fons
A talk reemphasizing the importance of participatory culture, shared culture, open practice, and open pedagogy - not simply the process of creating, searching for, and using OER.
Find, Use, Remix, and Create Open Learning MaterialsOpen.Michigan
In this workshop, members of the Open.Michigan initiative will teach
you how to find openly licensed content and show you how to remix it
to create new open educational resources (OER). Included will be an
overview of copyright law and we will discuss how this applies to the
creation and use of OER. Examples of OER use and reuse will illustrate
how these resources can have an impact on local and international
learning communities and how they have been used in specific contexts.
Participants will also get a chance to generate examples of OER and
learn how these resources can be accessed and adapted online. Please
bring your laptop and some of your own learning materials or resources
to this workshop and we will help you make it open on the spot.
Examples of OER can be found at: http://ur1.ca/2lhe9 and

This document summarizes a presentation given by Carl S. Blyth from the University of Texas at Austin on the affordances of openness and open educational resources (OER) for foreign language materials in the 21st century. Blyth defines OER and open education, discusses the benefits they provide to students and teachers, and addresses some of the challenges of using OER, such as lack of awareness, need for training and support, quality control, findability issues, and sustainability concerns. The presentation provides an overview of how OER can help address the rising costs of educational materials while increasing access, adaptability, and opportunities for collaboration.
NCCE 2013 - Open Resources: Share, Remix, Learn Karen F
Open educational resources (OERs) are free, open, and digital, so they can be modified and redistributed freely by anyone. OERs are all about sharing! Come see how OERs, including ebooks, movies, photos, simulations, presentations, and online courses, are being used by teachers and students across all subjects to engage learning.
Presented at NCCE 2013, February, 2013, in Portland, OR.
This document provides tips for students participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC). It emphasizes that the key prerequisites are a passion for open source, writing open source projects, and learning new things. Students should find projects on sites like openhatch.org and github and start small by forking projects, making changes, and submitting pull requests. Well-known projects have dedicated developers. Students should get involved early, write a detailed proposal, communicate frequently with developers, and contribute as much outside of GSoC. Open source has a consensus-based culture where criticism is meant to improve work and egos should be dropped. Mistakes are part of learning, and students should not get discouraged.
Open Source Culture and Transdisciplinary PracticeDMLab
This document discusses open source culture and political economy. It provides context around open source as a collaborative approach not limited to code. Open source is described as an experiment in building a sustainable system of value creation and governance around shared property rights. The document then outlines the 10 criteria that define open source software licensing terms, including allowing free redistribution, access to source code, modifications, and non-discrimination. It examines the impact of open source through the case of Linux, the first truly free Unix-like operating system developed collaboratively.
Richard Baraniuk discusses Connexions, an open education platform used by over 1 million unique users per month from 200 countries. Connexions hosts over 8,600 open educational modules created by faculty, teachers, and professionals worldwide. The platform allows for collaborative authoring, editing, and continuous updating of textbooks and course materials. This creates openly licensed educational resources that are low-cost, personalized, and never become outdated. Baraniuk argues that open educational resources are sustainable and can coexist with commercial publishers by allowing value to be added to open content. He recommends that governments and institutions embrace open education to reduce costs while improving access to knowledge worldwide.
Open source refers to software that is freely available and can be modified and shared. The document discusses the history and principles of open source software, including key figures like Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds. It outlines achievements of open source like Linux, popular software titles, and how open source benefits freedom, research, and knowledge sharing.
The webinar discussed sustainability strategies for open educational resources (OER). It began with an overview of Creative Commons licensing and the 5R permissions for OER - Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix, and Redistribute. It then explored three views of OER sustainability: Historical, focusing on early models; Contemporary, taking institutional and technical perspectives; and Business, involving developing open business models and generating revenue. The webinar concluded by soliciting participant feedback to improve OER sustainability approaches.
PHP and MySQL have been widely used together on the internet since the early 2000s, powering hundreds of thousands of websites including Wikipedia. The Aiki framework uses PHP and SQL databases, allowing for widget-based development and automatic table and AJAX management similar to Ruby on Rails. It aims to provide scalability through database scaling and has demonstrated faster page rendering times compared to Drupal on similar test sites.
Agile. Secure. Fast.
In the past, applying free software development style to web applications blocked continuous development. Many open source projects joined the #flist (#FAIL list). Since web sites are centralized pieces of software running continuously, there is a need for secure access to the live code. This forces a division of managing a running website, merging software changes from developers, and keeping development on the software progressing healthily. To complicate matters, a site may have active base of librarians and artists uploading and editing new materials.
Aiki Framework is an AGPL licensed LAMP-based new web framework that stores all the controllers and output templates in a database. It also allows for various levels of access to an instance so that configurable levels of trust are applied empowering development to continue from the web (or traditional ways). The block that plagues countless free software projects is removed, so development continues providing harmony and joining together functions of development on an open source web project.
The document discusses the concept of "sharism" and sharing as a new form of currency. It promotes the idea that the more you share content and information, the more you will receive from others through your social network. It also introduces the idea of a "Share Bank" where individuals can keep track of and invest their social capital or "shares" earned through sharing online. Technical specifications for implementing "Share Banking" on social networks using existing open protocols are provided.
Sharism: The more you share, the more you receive...Jon Phillips
The document discusses the concept of "share" or sharing as a new type of currency. It states that sharing is embedded in human DNA and motivation, and that the more one shares, the more one receives in return, both directly from others and indirectly through benefits like collaboration and recognition. It introduces the idea of a "share bank" to keep track of one's sharing and exchange of shares with other share banks, potentially using social networking and activity streaming technologies.
Building an Autonomous Federated Social Web: OStatus, Status.Net, and Identi....Jon Phillips
This presentation will look at the current problem with relying upon closed walled-garden-like networks like Facebook or Twitter. It then provides a survey of solutions, and provides a route for Free and Open Source Software developers to collaborate and build something based in reality and not just a kickstarter fundraiser.
According to Jon Phillips (Community Director at StatusNet), the Federated Social Web Summit 2010 firmly planted a flag in the ground about concrete steps to keep improving the state of federating social features across the open web. Every participate gave a 5 minute presentation about what they are doing with federation, then we spent the afternoon hacking and whiteboarding together. While many people knew each other, it served as a collaboration and connection point for new friends and companies to work together.
The FISL2010 presentation is a wrap-up about the FSWS2010.
Sharism: Banking on Sharing, The New Economy PaysJon Phillips
Money is the great wheel of circulation. However, there is another instrument of commerce between women and men, pupils and mentors, the artist and her audience. It is spinning at a much faster velocity. Its the sharing economy.
This New Economy has already taken off. At its center is not capital in search of profit, but creativity in search of an outlet. In both cases the return can be just as high. This presentation charts a new concept and protocol for the Sharing Economy that you can take to the bank. Korean companies who pioneered early virtual currencies as well as new trends in global are presented as well as threats to this new economy. They come in the form of broken net-neutrality reform, cracked patent systems, and a return to the re-locked read-only economy created by so-called magical devices such as the iPad.
The document discusses the dangers of relying solely on a single social media platform like Twitter and recommends using alternative decentralized platforms like Status.net. It notes that a friend's business was hurt after Google changed its algorithms. The document encourages people to take control of their online presence by signing up for Status.net to avoid over-dependence on any one company or platform. It also lists some Status.net domains and tags related to the service and decentralized social networking.
Whats Your Status Net 2.0 (Updates like Identi.ca)Jon Phillips
StatusNet is a hosted service for setting your status updates (aka, microblogging), is free software (licensed under the GNU AGPL), and is the software that powers the popular Autonomo.us Free Network Service, Identi.ca. This presentation looks broadly at these three parts of the StatusNet, how to setup YOUROWN.status.net, installing your own instance, and the company which supports the community. As a bonus, this talk introduces StatusNet's business and how to apply to under-represented free network services. Since this conference is more technical, we will dig deeper into the LAMP-powered StatusNet software, the updated OpenMicroBlogging standard that allows distributed federated microblogging, and will explore the basics of free network services through the eyes of the Franklin Street Declaration.
The document proposes the creation of an Open Font Library to advocate for font-face usage online and offline. It would be a complete site to expand the font community using Creative Commons CC0 or other open font licenses. Currently, there is a live and beta site for the Open Font Library being developed.
What's Your StatusNet? Lightning Talk 1.0Jon Phillips
This document promotes StatusNet, an open source microblogging platform similar to Twitter. It encourages the reader to sign up for StatusNet using the URL http://identi.ca/rejon and share their status. It emphasizes that StatusNet is a federated and scalable alternative that gives users control over their data and allows communities to collaboratively develop open source software.
Shanzhai vs. Qi Inside: Making Legal Open Source Hardware in ChinaJon Phillips
Shanzhai products, often derided as knock-off fake products, literally means "mountain village" in Chinese. These products are sold by the cargo ship, but massively to the large populace internal to China. "Shanzhai" refers to the older times in China where thieves and pirates would stockpile illegal goods high up in the mountains. Others simply refer to Shanzhai products accessibility to everyone. With Shanzhai, even the poor people who live on a mountain can have the expensive famous brands.
This presentation investigates the Shanzhai technology culture in China, analyzes its positive and negative aspects, and announces a new legal approach to build off the best parts of Shanzhai technology. This approach uses a mixture of Creative Commons licensing for hardware plans, Free Software licensing for software used to run the hardware, and open patents for the novel technological innovations. Do you have Qi Inside your hardware?
Creative Commons is a well-known nonprofit organization that increases sharing and improves collaboration. Its key tools are six licenses that fit between public domain and complete control, copyright, to give you control over how your work is shared with the world. This presentation explores high level case studies that use Creative Commons licenses to make a successful project. The key featured case study is Status.Net, a new status updating hosted service and open source software that uses Creative Commons licensing for content.
What's Your StatusNet? Updates like Identi.caJon Phillips
StatusNet is a hosted service for setting your status updates (aka, microblogging), is free software (licensed under the GNU AGPL), and is the software that powers the popular Autonomo.us Free Network Service, Identi.ca. This presentation looks broadly at these three parts of the StatusNet, how to setup YOUROWN.status.net, installing your own instance, and the company which supports the community. As a bonus, this talk introduces StatusNet's business model and how to apply to other areas.

The crypto market kicks off May 2025 with exciting momentum. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, continues to show resilience, maintaining a firm position above the $94,000 mark. This level of price stability is encouraging for traders and investors, as it hints at a potential consolidation phase that could lead to a major breakout. Analysts are watching closely—if BTC breaks past the $95,500 resistance level, a move toward $97,000 or higher could be next. Key support remains around $93,000, which indicates strong buying interest and institutional accumulation.
Meanwhile, today’s biggest surprise comes from VIRTUAL, a rapidly growing altcoin that has surged over 28% in just 24 hours. This impressive rally has turned heads in the crypto community, driven by announcements of new strategic partnerships in the metaverse and NFT spaces. VIRTUAL is integrating with major blockchain projects focused on virtual reality and decentralized applications, sparking investor excitement and boosting trading volume.
Altcoins overall are showing mixed signals. Ethereum (ETH) is trading around $4,800 with moderate gains, while Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Cardano (ADA) remain flat. Tokens like Render (RNDR), Injective (INJ), and Aptos (APT) have seen modest upticks, thanks to community engagement and recent upgrades.
