Projects

Kune

Kune is a free/libre distributed collaborative social network focused on: the collaborative edition in real time of free contents, thinking on the collaborative work of collectives and organizations; its publishing on the web; and the communication in social network among social movements, academic ... [More] groups and social initiatives. Besides, it stresses the CC licenses of contents and usability for humans. Many buzzwords, but we try to take it seriously :) [Less]

LeMill

LeMill is a web community for finding, authoring and sharing open educational resources. It's built on top of Zope and Plone, and is very extensively designed to fit teacher needs. LeMill is available as a free service at http://lemill.net and as an open source software package for individual installations.

sf-active

sf-active is a semi-retired, mysql-based fork of the active project. The active code was a multimedia, open publishing website for the n30-WTO protest in Seattle 1999. From an open hacklab in a downtown storefront, people posted real-time web updates (txt/img/video/etc) as huge protest crowds ... [More] disrupted the WTO and scrapped with riot police, tear gas & stun grenades. The non-stop stream of info from indymedia that day made CNN seem old & slow. The concept quickly spread to over 170 world cities. The IMC Network was probably the first large-scale web2/social tech that rapidly expanded and repeatedly impacted the real world in new ways. The sf-active cms runs a couple dozen local IMC sites but it's painfully out-dated. See cms.indymedia.org to read about plans for nextgen imc code. [Less]

bysacc

Attribution ShareAlike Creative Commons for flickr photos using the flickr API inspired by BYSACC (aka "hack number 73") from BBC Yahoo hackday London !

gnome-cc-integration

This project tries to integrate the Creative Commons licenses into the Gnome Desktop. Integration with Epiphany (Gnome's web browser) has already been achieved by the CC license viewer extension, which has been included in Gnome 2.17 .

obverify

Properly marked creative commons licensed audio files include the location of the licensing terms and a verification URL. This library analyzes the metadata and checks the verification URL to see if the embedded information is correct. An overview of this process can be found: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Embedded_Metadata

cc-sharp

What is cc-sharp?A C# library to verify Creative Commons license claims embedded in media. PlansI'd eventually like to have cc-sharp: Apply licenses to media Read licenses from media Verify licenses This would require abstracting reading and writing to a common interface so that file types ... [More] could simply be 'plugged in' to provide support. This would also mean having object representations of licenses. UsesTo my knowledge, the only project that uses cc-sharp right now is a plugin I made for Banshee called ccBanshee which basically implements this library functionality in Banshee. [Less]

ccbrowse

Just a concept thing really at the moment. The idea is to create a core application, backends that will feed on cc sites such as Flickr, OpenClipart.org or local files, and will run as a standalone browser or as a plugin for apps like Inkscape, Scribus etc.

freereads
