> 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.
