[ANNOUNCE] Beta release of Creative Commons licensing activity
I'm happy to announce a beta release of the Creative Commons licensing activity for the XO. This activity is a comic reader that includes simple English text to explain the images. This is based on a comic we published a few weeks back that was written with the XO audience in mind: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Sharing_Creative_Works It also includes a license chooser; right now, the results of that license choice aren't used by anything, but we hope to work with XO developers who want to integrate CC license choosing into their activities - they can perhaps use the license chooser we bundle, and they can perhaps use as a default the license chosen by the child at the end of the CC Licensing activity. You can download the .xo at http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/olpc/License-3.xo . It even has a proper NEWS file. I encourage you all to grab the .xo and give it a whirl! -- Asheesh. P.S. If you want to know how this compares to the release a few weeks ago, here's the NEWS file: 3 * Fix .xo packaging and MANIFEST to include everything necessary and not more. (paulproteus) * First beta release. (paulproteus) * Hand-clean text for comic.

Do you have suggestions on integrating this with Pippy and (say) Paint? For example, if you could copy the license choice to the clipboard after completing the activity, one could then drag drop the license to a hotspot in the sugar toolbar for the new document (possibly right next to the document title) to apply it. Other ideas? --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

I would have found it more interesting if you had created a character who created something and wanted to publish it, but had no idea of the considerations, and who then had a conversation with somebody knowledgeable. Better still if some characters had done various things with unexpected consequences, and got together to discuss what to do. Then they could go on to talk to other creators and publishers about the possibilities and benefits, not only to the publisher and to others in the developed world, but to those in the developing nations. I am disappointed that there is no mention of CC-Developing Nations licenses.

[further comic comments] I've bounced your comments on the comic to Alex Roberts and Rebecca Rojer who did most of the graphic and storyboard work. Just a reminder - the comic contents are dedicated to the public domain, so re-use and re-envisioning is encouraged. I am disappointed that there is no mention of CC-Developing Nations licenses. In June 2007, we retired that license for reasons Larry laid out at http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7520 . -- Asheesh. -- Malek's Law: Any simple idea will be worded in the most complicated way. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
