> Demonstrates Autocuration of Open Content
>
>
> Creative Commons today announced the release of LiveContent 2.0, a
> LiveDVD full of Creative Commons-licensed multimedia content and
> free and open source software. LiveContent allows users to explore
> open content such as music, video, photography, books, and
> educational materials that can be freely used, copied, and built
> upon. LiveContent boots directly from the LiveDVD, making it easy
> for users to interact with Creative Commons-licensed content and
> test-drive open source software. The LiveDVD is built upon Fedora
> 8, a Linux-based operating system, and the disc includes a number
> of open source software applications like OpenOffice, The Gimp,
> Inkscape, and Firefox.
>
> The LiveContent project draws CC-licensed multimedia content from a
> variety of diverse projects aiming to share creativity and culture
> more openly. Included are photographs from Flickr.com and Wikimedia
> Commons, music from Jamendo.com and Simuze.nl, videos from Make
> Magazine, Boing Boing TV and others, books from Manybooks.net, and
> open educational resources from MIT's OpenCourseWare initiative.
>
> For version 2.0, LiveContent transitions from a LiveCD to a LiveDVD
> platform, providing more space for open content and software.
> Beginning with the popular photo-sharing website Flickr.com,
> LiveContent 2.0 demonstrates a unique content "autocuration"
> process. This technique manipulates web services provided by Flickr
> and automatically compiles photos onto the LiveDVD build. With the
> success of the Flickr autocuration process, Creative Commons aims
> to push for further standardization of CC content syndication feeds
> and APIs.
>
> Creative Commons calls for increased community participation in
> curating open content and developing technologies that spread CC-
> licensed content. "Creative Commons doesn't maintain a centralized
> repository of the work published under the suite of CC licenses,"
> said Jon Phillips, Business and Community Development Manager at
> Creative Commons. "But our Content Directories project has been a
> useful tool for organizations to list their CC-powered projects.
> It's important that we develop a standardized process for the
> community to be able to learn about and reuse open content."
>
> LiveContent is a product of collaboration across a number of
> organizations including Red Hat (http://www.redhat.com),
> Worldlabel.com (http://www.worldlabel.com) and various CC content
> providers. LiveContent 2.0 is now available for free download at
> http://spins.fedoraproject.org. A pre-burned disc may be purchased
> at http://www.on-disk.com.
