Davos Documented re copyright etc @DanJarvisMP

This video from Davos covers the current conversation in the USA

SOPA Panel at Documented@Davos from Michelle Laird on Vimeo.


Suggest this is worth watching as a guide for how things may go in the UK.

Otis playlist may not reach Phonic this year but still be in the cloud later

Phonic FM still relies on the Compact Disc (CD) and usb sticks etc.

One day there will be seamless real time methods for presenters to upload from home.

But meanwhile there may be some gaps. I have tried to find ways to upload songs from Otis etc but copyright is an issue. Seems ok through YouTube so you will ahve to click through or diveret to something else.

Happy holidays

The Museum opens this week, remembering Prince Albert

My guess is that Prince Albert would now be on Soundcloud and a frequent visits to Berlin. But apparently it was Queen Charlotte who introduced the Christmas tree to the UK. Stan Hacking claimed last night that most of the audience had the wrong answer.

I hope there will be more technology around the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. I did a talk with some display as part of the millenium exhibition Script to Print to Hypertext. The Hypertext was a small proportion at that time. The notes for my talk need an update but the issues are still a reasonable place to start.

I have found a couple of PDF files in my backup system and uploaded them to Scribd. More later.

This week also in London, tent city university library via Twinity in Exeter

Not sure how this week will work out. I am in London on Thursday but this is also the day for the Wild Show on Phonic FM so I may pre record something or phone in. Or edit bits together in the future. Live radio is not what it was, mostly prerecorded or listened again anywaqy.

I am interested in the idea of a university as part of the tents outside St Pauls and Exeter Cathedral. In Exeter there is now a library tent as well. I have started to mix photos of Twinity spaces and reality. So more during this week if I can get to the right places.

My request for the Wild Show - Magic Bus by the Who. Chris not born in 1970 so he may need persuading.

As far as I know Exeter campus will still lose the bookshop in April when the new buildings are open. So the Exeter Riddle 2012 is

If a university campus is better without a bookshop, what is the rationale for a library?

Even starting to answer this involves the cloud. There are many alternative worlds, some of them close together. I think something like this is part of the Blast Theory when the museum reopens. Some sound may turn up on the Wild Show before too long.

Creative Commons and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport

After sending the DCMS a link to the interviews with Dan Jarvis MP I am told that there is support for Creative Commons on the Flickr site where DCMS photos appear.

http://www.culture.gov.uk/7085.aspx

The policy mentions that there should be attribution for any phoptos that appear on the DCMS website. However not every photo on Flickr is Creative Commons. Jeremy Hunt at the Eden Project is "all rights reserved". Maybe this will change or permission could be given for this blog to use it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/thedcms/

then you may find it.

Hugh Robertson 'shows his socks' in aid of Help for Heroes

code copied above should show Hugh Robertson and his socks. This one definitely Creative Commons. Also it will interest Dan Jarvis and the Labour Friends of the Forces.

If you want content to be reused or linked to, then a Creative Commons licence makes this clear.

The policy on Creative Commons for YouTube may not have been updated as the option is only recent. But it is custom and practice to embed YouTube in blogs, probably part of YouTube conditions.



Broadcast TV is only one option. Online video and social media are also possible. This would work best with a flexible approach to the reuse of content.

The DCMS has issued a report on education in response to Next Gen. The PDF is at this link.

The PDF has an "Open Government Licence" so the thinking around this relates to Creative Commons.

Lokking at a site such as The Internet Archive might be interesting in schools. The discussion around Creative Commons continues.

Dan Jarvis MP - the Tweets from Bristol Wireless

So far not a lot of views for Dan Jarvis MP on YouTube but my plan is to stay near the front of the results for a search on Dan and Jarvis. Should work out even if we have to link to many examples of south west culture.

Thanks for retweets @cllrmartin and wood5y from Bristol Wireless

My next plan is to check out all the links he suggests, copied here in case Twitter replaces them with something more recent

( By the way when I met him at #likeminds @cllrmartin turns out to be very supportive of Exeter in general including Exeter Council IT Department, most public figures, and local media including the Express and Echo. So even though there are the occasional concerns, there may also be some developments)
