order to create a great release that can be beneficial to libraries and
patrons, we're looking to identify a small number of libraries that
would be willing to help test out the spins. We're looking at trying to
get libraries from various areas of the US to participate.
<br><br>Other areas to investigate:<br><ul><li>What is the current
computing environment at libraries right now, especially public
libraries? The first version of LiveContent (Fedora, open source apps,
CC-content) was self-contained on a CD - is a DVD doable for library
terminals?
</li></ul><ul><li>How to increase the amount of open content contained on a disc - CD vs. DVD vs. thumbdrive vs. other options</li></ul><ul><li>How to best explain Creative Commons, FOSS movement, and open content</li></ul>
<ul><li>Creating demos of how users can manipulate open content on the
disc using the free tools provided, and then also mark and share again</li></ul><ul><li>How to automate the process of pulling down CC-content from curators like Flickr, Jamendo, etc. for inclusion on the disc
