Hi all,

Please excuse both the spam and cross-posting, hope this is of interest!

Sorry also for the late delivery of this month's issue, I've been away
on holiday for the last week so missed the first day of the month.

Cheers!

--Public Domain Works Database launched--
The Public Domain Works DB is an open registry of artistic works that
are in the public domain. It is focused on recordings (and their
underlying compositions) because a term extension for recordings is
currently being considered in Europe. In the future it will will
expand to cover all types of cultural works which are covered by
copyright. The DB is a joint project of Free Culture UK and the Open
Knowledge Foundation.
--Call for Volunteers--
Assistance is required in two main areas:
- Development of the public domain works database and web application.
At present we are working on doing a first iteration using python and
the django web application framework. Help is required with all and
any of coding, web development, testing and usability.
- The obtaining and entry of data on works. We need to find and enter
data on recordings along with information on the artists who authored
and performed those works.
