Doron Ben-Avraham Director of Technology NEW MUSEUM TEL : 212.219.1222 x 233 FAX: 212.432.6822 newmuseum.org I am not aware of anything that makes that process easy. We are in the midst of a similar project, however, involving an artist's CD-ROM meant to run on Windows 95(!) and install some custom software, etc. The current plan to get it working is to make a bootable Windows 95 Virtual Machine and install the software there so we could run it on whatever hardware. Ideally we'd do this whole process on a thumb drive: install a modern OS that boots from a thumb drive, install a VM manager and a Windows 95 VM, and finally the software. The end result would be a self-contained system able to run the original software... It's a lot of hoops to jump through, for sure. Anyone done anything like what I'm suggesting? Anyone have their old DOS disks or Windows 95 CD we could borrow?

Beyond the matter of online copyright infringement, ordinary users find themselves constrained by legal and technical mechanisms that are often based on assumptions about creation and copying that are no longer true in today's world. This panel will look at a few of the problems facing technology users created by copyright law, and explore possible solutions to them. Moderated by Gigi B. Sohn, President & CEO, Public Knowledge * Erik Martin, General Manager, Reddit * Tom W. Bell, professor of law at Chapman University, author, Copyright Unbalanced * Pamela Samuelson, professor of law at Berkeley Law, University of California; Faculty Director, Berkeley Center for Law & Technology * Michael McGeary, Co-Founder, Engine Advocacy and: 2:00 - 3:00 pm | Digital First Sale The first sale doctrine is one of the most important ways that the law reconciles the rights of an author in her works with the rights of a consumer in his property. As more and more media is sold as digital downloads, the line between who owns what can become less clear. Can a user give away his ebook collection? Can another leave her iTunes collection to a descendant in her will? Our panel will describe the challenges that online media bring to digital ownership, and how we can ensure certainty for buyers and sellers of digital goods. Moderated by Sherwin Siy, VP, Legal Affairs, Public Knowledge * Christina Mulligan, Postdoctoral Associate in Law and Kauffman Fellow of the Information Society Project, Yale Law School * Andrew Shore, Executive Director, Owners' Rights Initiative ________________________________ Amalyah Keshet Head of Image Resources & Copyright Management The Israel Museum, Jerusalem Chair, MCN IP SIG ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:09:15 -0800 From: Jaki Levy <j...@arrowrootmedia.com> To: "mcn-l at mcn.edu" <mcn-l at mcn.edu> Subject: [MCN-L] Managing Museum Sites on WordPress Message-ID: <220A7D2D-FA83-4916-B405-52BD6DC018BB at arrowrootmedia.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi Everyone - I'm looking to talk to museums running WordPress sites. I've seen lots of WordPress sites getting hacked because they're not getting updated, on unmanaged servers, or other common IT mistakes. I've also seen folks lose data because there was no redundant backup service in place. Fyi - There's a nice article on common WordPress malware issues here : http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/10/09/four-malware-infections-wordpress/ If you're really into surveys and data sharing, you can fill this out http://arrowrootmedia.com/mow-survey I'm happy to share all my data anonymously. But for now, I'm mainly looking to have informal conversations. So - if you've got a WordPress site (or multiple WordPress sites), please do reach out/reply off-list. And fill out the survey : http://arrowrootmedia.com/mow-survey Thx! Jaki PS - if this data is already out there, please do share. -- web : http://arrowrootmedia.com cell : 646-339-9410 ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ mcn-l mailing list mcn-l at mcn.edu http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l End of mcn-l Digest, Vol 89, Issue 12 *************************************
