The document discusses open source software, education, content, standards and licenses. It provides examples of the growth and adoption of open source software like Linux and Apache. It also discusses open education initiatives like MIT OpenCourseWare and Wikipedia that provide free access to knowledge. Open standards and licenses like Creative Commons are presented as allowing open reuse and collaboration on intellectual property.
Towards License Interoperability: Patterns of Sustainable Sharing PolicyMike Linksvayer
The document discusses challenges and progress toward legal interoperability for open content and public sector information (PSI) licensing. It describes how free/libre open source software (FLOSS) has largely achieved interoperability over 25+ years through efforts like the GPL and agreements on definitions. For open content and PSI, proliferation of licenses initially caused issues, but adoption of Creative Commons licenses and others has increased, though database rights remain a challenge. Key initiatives like CC and Open Knowledge Foundation are working to resolve remaining incompatibilities and reduce unnecessary license proliferation to fully realize the potential of openly licensed content and PSI through interoperability.

A roadmap outlines developing badge criteria, display methods, and an evaluation process to award badges and spread knowledge of the open web through a fun competition. The proposal argues people enjoy collecting badges and developers value technical details, helping the idea promote the open web.
This document provides an overview of open access, including its benefits, key developments, licensing options, and publishing routes. Open access aims to make publicly funded research freely available online. It has grown due to technological advances enabling free distribution, and economic and social motivations for public access to publicly funded work. Major milestones include the Budapest and Berlin Declarations supporting open access. Publishing routes include open access repositories and journals, with the latter utilizing article processing charges as a business model.
The document outlines key points from the book "Wikinomics" by Tapscott and Williams. It discusses four main principles of wikinomics: openness, peering, sharing, and acting globally. As an example, YouTube allows users to both upload and watch videos, enabling mass collaboration. While industries see peer sharing as copyright infringement, the authors argue it is a revolutionary tool according to their theory of wikinomics.
This document provides an overview of key concepts from the book "Wikinomics" by Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams. It outlines three main learning objectives: 1) to consider issues relating to Web 2.0, 2) to understand the concept of "wikinomics", and 3) to examine benefits and difficulties of wikinomics. Key terminology from the book is defined, such as "peering", "prosumers", and concepts related to the democratization of media through user participation and peer production. Examples are given of early peer-produced projects like Linux, Wikipedia, and MySpace that showed the potential of mass collaboration online.
This document discusses the author's experiences with open source software over 12 years, beginning with Red Hat 6.2 in 2000. It describes the challenges they initially faced with hardware installation and software usage. The author found success with Ultimate Edition for device support and desktop effects. They rely on many open source packages for daily work and teaching. The author has conducted workshops introducing others to FOSS and supervised research using open source tools. However, challenges remain regarding compatibility with proprietary formats, lack of support, and changing perceptions. The document advocates for FOSS and concludes the main issues are the unpreparedness of the Malaysian computer industry and issues of compatibility and mindsets.
_Docubase by MIT Open Documentary Lab for Researchandrea_parisi
The MIT Open Documentary Lab brings technologists, storytellers, and scholars together to advance the new arts of documentary . In November 23, 2013 the MIT Lab has launched_docubase at IDFA festival.
Few things can compete with the emergence of a new media practice for sheer innovation and unpredictability. Conventions, orthodoxies and routine have not yet set in. Virtually anything is possible. Consider the earliest years of film, radio and television, when media makers engaged in unparalleled levels of experimentation thanks to the absence of rules. Today, this untamed creative fervor can be found in the new documentary: a fast-emerging form that includes interactive, participatory and community-created fact-based storytelling.
'Unruly' better describes the types of documentaries that are gathered in _docubase.
Interactive, collaborative, location-based, community-created, parts of larger trans-media experiences… the projects gathered in _docubase defy easy categorization. They are made by and with communities, journalists, citizen-activists, film and video makers, game-designers, community organizers, data-visualizers and ordinary people. Some production teams model their credits on the conventions of film, others on games, and still others invent new ways of describing their work.
Why so complicated? Because we are witnessing a rare moment that is in equal parts creative and inchoate.
We will explore together how _docubase offers multiple ways of bringing order to this complexity.

This document discusses the spread of free and open source principles from software to other domains. It provides background on FOSS communities, noting they are predominantly young, educated males. Motivations for contributing to FOSS include skills development, reciprocity, and ideology. Governance ranges from anarchy to benevolent dictatorship. The document outlines how free/open principles are expanding to content, formats, and protocols through definitions and licensing models. Examples of open standards and debates around technical versus legal openness are presented.
The document provides an overview of the past, present, and future of free/open source software (FOSS).
In the past section, it describes the origins of software sharing in the 1960s-70s and key events like the creation of GNU in 1983 and Linux in 1991.
The present section outlines government FOSS adoption in countries like Peru, Venezuela, India, and Malaysia. It also discusses FOSS use in Europe and other parts of Asia.
The future section features quotes from industry leaders acknowledging trends like greater FOSS skills being necessary for careers and the vision of all devices running Linux. The document concludes that the future is open.
The document discusses the benefits of open source software for education. Open source software addresses technological difficulties in online learning by enabling collaboration and sharing of source code. It allows for modifications, has no restrictions on distribution or application, and ensures source code integrity. Benefits include free access, compatibility with older hardware, cost savings, security from viewing source code, and enabling global sharing of educational resources. The widespread adoption of open source software in education has been facilitated by its low commercial barriers and minimal costs.
1. Open Source Software has enabled collaboration and connection through shared circulation of software. It addresses technological challenges in online learning.
2. Open Source Software is widely used in education from primary to post-secondary levels. It can be used on older hardware, benefiting lower-income individuals. Savings on software allows investing in other education.
3. Open Source Software development involves public collaboration on projects. Others can modify code to suit individual/group needs. It is compatible with most hardware/applications and used in business and education communities worldwide.
1) Open source software has been widely adopted in education due to the many free applications and cost savings that can be applied to other areas.
2) Key attributes of open source software that have helped drive adoption include unrestricted distribution, availability of source code, ability for modifications, and lack of licensing fees.
3) Open source software is now used by many learners around the world and its use is expected to continue expanding.
This document summarizes a presentation on plagiarism prevention and detection. It defines plagiarism as using another's work without attribution. While not a legal crime, plagiarism is considered an academic offense. Both prevention through education and detection methods have limitations. Detection tools can be fooled and incorrectly flag original work. The best prevention strategies involve thorough education of students about proper citation and encouraging writing practices that promote original thought. Overall the presentation argues for focusing on prevention over problematic detection approaches.
Here are some ways I would optimize the backup strategy:
- Only back up data directories instead of entire hard disks to reduce backup size and time.
- Stagger backups throughout the night instead of all at once to avoid overloading the network.
- Store backups offsite as well as on the NAS for disaster recovery in case the onsite storage is damaged.
- Consider cloud backup services for additional offsite storage.
- Encrypt backups for security and confidentiality.
- Test restores periodically to validate backups are working properly.
- Consider versioning backups to allow restoration of previous file versions.
- Automate verification of backups to catch any failures or corrupt backups.

almost all software was...
➢
produced by academic
& corporate researchers
in collaboration
➢
shared with source code
IBM “SHARE” user group (1955)
Digital Equipment Computer
Users' Society (DECUS, 1961)
Source code: if encrypt(password) == encryptedpassword, then login=1, end

"The most fundamental
way of helping other
people,
is to teach people
how to do things better
or how to better their
lives.
For people
who use computers,
this means sharing
the recipes
you use on your
computer,
in other words
the programs you run."
8. Free Software Licenses
➢
The 4 freedoms are guaranteed and enforced by licenses
➢
Copyleft licenses
➢
protect the freedoms for everyone
➢
e.g. GNU GPL (General Public License)
➢
Permissive licenses
➢
include the freedom to deny the freedoms for others
➢
e.g BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)
→BSD code often in non-free closed source software (MS, Mac, ...)
11. 20
Free software: idealism
Open Source: pragmatism
(almost identical)
software categories
together:
Free Open Source Software (FOSS)
Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS)
Spanish: “software libre y codigo abierto”
12. Software categories
➢
Anti-features are features that users don’t want, including:
➢
Copy-protection
➢
DRM = Digital Rights/Restrictions Management
➢
Data lock-in because of secret file formats
➢
Time-limit / Planned obsolescence
➢
Artificial limitations (e.g. limited RAM, HD and max 3 concurrent programs in MS Windows Vista Home)
➢

72. My proposal of VLIR-UOS software policy
(not approved yet)
➢
VLIR-UOS wants to encourage the use of Free Libre Open
Source Software (FLOSS) in the South partner institutions.
➢
VLIR-UOS will only support the implementation and
training of FLOSS, unless proprietary software is
demonstrated to be significantly superior and necessary for
the required tasks. Whenever VLIR-UOS funds are used
for proprietary software, reasons must be provided
(including a list of FLOSS alternatives considered) and
approved by [the ICT/OLL expert group or the VLIR-UOS
FLOSS Advisory Board].
73. My proposal of VLIR-UOS software policy
(not approved yet)
➢
In the case VLIR-UOS funded hardware for South partner
institutions comes with proprietary software pre-installed, it must
be demonstrated that the maximum is done to convince the
manufacturer or supplier to only deliver FLOSS. Suppliers that
are willing to provide hardware with FLOSS are to be preferred
above those that don't.
➢
Software developed with VLIR-UOS funds must be published
under a FLOSS license, where possible, in order to maximize
its usefulness for other developing countries.
➢
VLIR-UOS advises new IUC programmes to include a work
package around FLOSS awareness creation, expertise building,
policy definition, training, support and implementation.
74. Open Standards
➢
Open process
➢
Free / Open Access to description
➢
No secrets
➢
No patents or patents with
➢
unrestricted royalty-free implementation
➢
non-assertion promise
➢
Preferably available in multiple complete (open)
implementations
75. File formats
General preferences
➢
Standard > specification > secret
➢
Openly published > copyrighted & paywalled
➢
Public domain > patented
➢
Open license > proprietary license
➢
Usable with FLOSS software > propietary software
➢
Usable on multiple platforms
➢
Readable in browsers
➢
High quality, high efficiency
76. File format recommendations
➢
Avoid restricted formats
➢
Don’t annoy other people with restricted formats
➢
If others don’t need to edit your files, consider PDF
➢
Be aware of macro-viruses in MS Office files
➢
Don’t use raster based graphical editors when you
need vector based graphical editors
