articles · Organisation Spotlight: Safe Creative
25/6/2008 23:10 · 20 votes · no comments
A few years ago Juan Palacio, a Spanish software expert, wrote a book and wanted to share it on the Internet as a PDF document.

The lack of facilities to register digital...

calendar· 8th International Conference on the Law Via The Internet
10/7/2007 20:58 · 1 comment

Doctrine and its production and publication are very high profile. Indeed, issues related to documents that complement primary sources of law are certainly the next frontier. Preservation of both pre-digital law and that born today in digital...

articles · Grassroots Publishing Through Open Source and Web 2.0
by Wojciech Gryc, Five Minutes to Midnight · voted on 17/7/2008 01:10 · 20 votes · no comments
When it comes to making print media, the number of options available to grassroots organisations and informal groups can be daunting. Indeed, with the rise of open source software packages, web 2.0 publishing tools, and crowd sourcing sites where one can hire designers for very low prices, the number of options is only increasing. What is exciting about these tools, however, is...

articles · Why do I need to CC?
by anas · commented on 18/3/2008 19:04 · 26 votes · 1 comment
This has typically been the ending question for any Creative Commons-related conversation in the Middle East that I have been involved in. While drawing on others' experiences and telling success stories from other parts of the world would seem a very appealing answer, there is always the “but here, it does not work like that” aspect of the argument. Well, today I think we have...
