Open Source Culture: The End of Artistic Ownership?
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source culture. What does this bring
| to mind? For some, it represents freedom:
| freedom to speak, freedom to share, and
| freedom to change. Yet, to others, the
| words sound a death-knell. To them,
| anything open-source is dangerous. Sherman
| Alexie, a novelist, was quoted in an
| interview: âWith the open-source culture on
| the Internet, the idea of ownership â of
| artistic ownership â goes awayâ it
| terrifies me.â I must respectfully
| disagree. Artistic ownership can not go
| away simply by sharing it freely with the
| world, by allowing others to contribute
| their own ideas and solutions. When you
| freely share your own creativity with the
| world, it is still your own property.
| Licenses similar to the GPL for software,
| or Creative Commons licenses preserve
| original thought, while still freely
| sharing your creations. Others may make
| their own changes, just so long as they
| attribute the original work to you. Of
| course, this is a decision to be made by
| the content creator; if you do not want
| others messing with it, you have that legal
| right.

Open Source Washing Machine Project: Developing Sustainable Laundry Machines for Developing Countries
,----[ Quote ]
| The Open Source Washing Machine Project
| (OSWASH), an innovative project developed
| several years ago by Jean-Noel Montagne,
| takes a different âspinâ on washing
| machines for people in developing
| countries.

| Montagne developed the concept during an
| Open Source Hardware workshop for artists
| in Paris in 2008. The project was created
| in order to help the billions of people
| across the globe that do not have access to
| clean water, electricity and other basic
| amenities.

NY Times Trashes Crowdfunding Without Looking At A Single Big Success Story
,----[ Quote ]
| Hmm. Jill Sobule raised over $80,000 in
| less than two months. That seems like more
| than gas money. Ellis Paul raised over
| $100,000. That seems like more than gas
| money. It's not clear exactly how much Josh
| Freese was able to get from his experiment,
| but it was clearly over $30,000 from
| reports that were given. Marillion has been
| surviving on crowdfunding for over a
| decade.
