Jon, this is an excellent initiative, and you are doing a wonderful job realising it. I find your webpages pleasing, accessible and informative.
Regarding more info: It would be nice to have a lot of very direct links as to where one can find more free culture in the various types of media; openclipart.org, jamendo.com, blip.tv, yotofoto etc.. A good directory (or a very obvious link to one) could be very useful. I think it could help people "letting go" of the über-commercial sphere to see how much excellent Free material there actually is available (provide them with quality and show them the equally excellent quantity). Another idea would be a participatory version of the DVD. You could ship a half-filled disc (around 2GB) with a simple button for "Make a new DVD that includes the files I have added", which recognizes the users media files and lets him/her select among suitable licenses for them. One bug: I had a problem with the pages not showing up properly in Konqueror (default web browser on the KDE desktop, which shares its render engine with Safari). Everything that is beneath the visible area turns up white when I scroll down. peace, Stian Fredag 09 mars 2007 skreiv Jonathan Roberts: > Hi, > > I'm just getting around to putting the finishing touches to a DVD to > promote "Free Culture".
