Grants for internet-based art works! Deadline: April 1, 2006!

Artists are invited to submit proposals for new works of Internet-based art. There is no required theme. The works can manifest offline, as long as the Internet is a primary vehicle in the creation of the work, and the final work is accessible online, whether through a web browser, software, or some other use of internet technologies.

When evaluating proposals, the jury will consider artistic merit, technical feasibility, and online accessibility. Although we will provide some technical assistance with final integration into the Rhizome web site, artists are expected to develop projects independently and without significant technical assistance from Rhizome.

Based on EVC's two decades of experience, this comprehensive curriculum package helps middle and high school teachers and out-of-school program instructors guide youth in producing a documentary video. This practical toolkit of instructional strategies uses media and technology to engage all students in creative and rigorous inquiry-based projects on current issues of importance to them. Using this multidisciplinary approach, teachers can integrate English, social studies, art, and technology into video projects as students develop their literacy, research, critical thinking, and civic engagement skills.

The Streaming Suitcase is a brand new site developed by Adam Hyde, where you can find CC-licensed manuals on a variety of technical topics. Learn how to stream media over the internet, study Linux basics, or even build your own mini FM transmitter. The whole site is great, but one thing that especially struck us was Adam's great illustration of his business model:

In part this is an experiment in developing a model for the sustainable development of professional online documentation and manuals released under Creative Commons. So if you need a manual to be written on streaming and associated topics, and you have a commissioning budget then write to me and I will write one. This means you get a manual, I get some cash to support my nomadic artist life, and others benefit from having a nice manual too.

Thanks to Paul Keller for the heads-up.

The book addresses what Rob Flickenger, the book's editor and lead author, calls a chicken-and-egg problem: "While much information about building wireless networks can be found on-line, that presents a problem for people in areas with little or no connectivity".

The book covers topics from basic radio physics and network design to equipment and troubleshooting.

It is intended to be a comprehensive resource for technologists in the developing world, providing the critical information that they need to build networks. This includes specific examples, diagrams and calculations, which are intended to help building wireless networks without requiring access to the Internet.

In the developing world, one book can often be a library, and to a techie this book may well be a bible.

Peter Suber’s Open Access News is fast becoming one of my favorite sources of information. The focus tends to be on print and scholarly journals, but it covers the whole spectrum of open access issues, and draws from an amazingly diverse set of sources. I suspect the amazing variety of new approaches to open access print can inspire new models video and television.

What are those situations? According to the report, they are: employing copyrighted material as the object of social, political, or cultural critique; quoting copyrighted works of popular culture to illustrate an argument or point; capturing copyrighted media content in the process of filming something else; and using copyrighted material in a historical sequence.”

Reporters Without Borders has just unveiled a remarkable how-to guide for bloggers and "cyberdissidents" who want to make their voices heard in/from countries that are hostile to free speech. It's more specialized than EFF's exhaustive Legal Guide for Bloggers, focusing on 1.) how to create an effective voice online and 2.) overcoming the specific technical and practical challenges to free speech and anonymity in the face of government monitoring and censorship.

Here's an excerpt from the introduction:

Bloggers are often the only real journalists in countries where the mainstream media is censored or under pressure. Only they provide independent news, at the risk of displeasing the government and sometimes courting arrest. Plenty of bloggers have been hounded or thrown in prison. One of the contributors to this handbook, Arash Sigarchi, was sentenced to 14 years in jail for posting several messages online that criticised the Iranian regime. His story illustrates how some bloggers see what they do as a duty and a necessity, not just a hobby. They feel they are the eyes and ears of thousands of other Internet users.

The section called "Personal Accounts" is especially inspiring, providing the real-life stories of bloggers from all around the world; click on the links below for a few examples:

Hong Kong: "I kept my promise to those who died."

ww.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=15010">Iran: "We can write freely in blogs."

Bahrain: "We've broken the government’s news monopoly."

The guide is available in Chinese, Arabic, Persian, English, and French. Just outstanding.

The Washington Post has an article today announcing the guide's release here. Previous relevant Copyfight coverage: Zuckerman on How to Blog Anonymously.

O'Reilly Media launched the beta version of O'Reilly Connection at their Open Source Convention (OSCON) today. It's a tech-centric jobs and networking site for developers and those who want to hire them.

Sam Mohamad, CEO of Greenplum built an initial version of the service, and then, to make it widely available to the community, decided to contribute it to O'Reilly. "We're really committed to what Tim O'Reilly calls the architecture of participation, in all aspects of what we do, whether that's software development or marketing," added Mohamad.

On O'Reilly Connection, developers build a professional profile that lays out their skills, experience, and network in one place. They can connect with peers and designate "go to" people--other site members whom they consider experts in a particular technology area--and keep tabs on those alpha geeks through personalized watch lists.

Employers can quickly search through O'Reilly Connection to find job or consultant candidates with the specific qualifications they need. Because profiles on O'Reilly Connection display members' networks, they provide a richer picture than a standard resume.

During the beta period, O'Reilly Connection is offering free job posts.

Finally..

We're glad you are enjoying our detailed list of Internet TV stations and appreciate your feedback. As promised, we're working to improve the experience.

Here's a list of updates:

• We added the Telewest TV stations which includes blueyonder 01, broadsports, broadway, and broadwise. You may have recently read about this via our news report, Narrowstep Creates Multi-Channel Internet TV Solution for Telewest. We recommend checking out blueyonder.
• France has been added along with a number of French-speaking stations
• Major Fix: We became aware that if people using Internet Explorer have the check box "Show Friendly HTTP Errors" checked in their options, Windows Media streams beginning with the mms protocol (mms://) will show a DNS error when redirected. (joy) After several hours of pulling hair, we resolved the error by simply "not forwarding URLs beginning with mms://!" We apologize for all the Windows Media feeds that were not playing because of this weird scenario.
• The Legend will now properly hide and show in Firefox
• Fixed other alignment issues in Firefox such as the search box and navigation bar
• Several other countries will be added this week along with enhancing our current lineup

Now we would like to recommend two Internet TV stations that have impressed us.

• ManiaTV - Move over MTV and make room for ManiaTV. ManiaTV is working to bring back the music MTV started out playing but later gave up on.
• ROO TV - Wow. ROO claims they have over 4000 video clips and we have no reason not to believe them. Their entire web site is blended into the player for a really clean TV guide of sorts. You can watch video clips of music artists, news, sports, entertainment, video games, commercials, and much more.

You can watch video from both stations via our de.

SourceLabs has unveiled the first version of Swik, a community-based online catalog of open-source projects, which can be freely accessed and amended by end-users or developers, reports InfoWorld.

The Swik directory facilitates the sharing of information about open-source projects and includes project documentation, download sites, reviews and descriptions, using a Wiki structure for censor-free, user editable entries. It has lots of Linux, J2EE, LAMP and Ajax files.

SourceLabs sells support and maintenance subscriptions for tested, certified "stacks" of open source infrastructure software, but the software downloads are free of charge.

Source Forge is "the world's largest development and download repository of Open Source code and applications". They have a ton of free Communications and Internet applications for the downloading, including DailyWireless co-founder Don Park's AP Radar.

"To be clear, this guide isn't a substitute for, nor does it constitute, legal advice. Only an attorney who knows the details of your particular situation can provide the kind of advice you need if you're being threatened with a lawsuit. The goal here is to give you a basic roadmap to the legal issues you may confront as a blogger, to let you know you have rights, and to encourage you to blog freely with the knowledge that your legitimate speech is protected."

Keith's ipodArmy site is a great resource.

"I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the last month trying to find good music that is podcast friendly, legal to freely share and/or “podsafe.” To be quite honest it’s been a struggle, but it has gotten easier as I’ve discovered new ways to find good music to add to my podcast.

Science Commons - a new project of Creative Commons that works to encourage sharing of scientific and academic knowledge - has launched an Open Access Law Program. The Program is designed to make legal scholarship "open access," that is freely available online to everyone, without undue copyright and licensing restrictions. The Program involves an Open Access Law Author Pledge, Open Access Law Principles and an Open Access Law Model Publication Agreement.

Our very own Chairman & CEO, Lawrence Lessig, is one of the first signatories to the Open Access Law Author Pledge. In addition, 21 important law reviews have adopted the Open Access Principles, or have policies that are consistent with them. Leading journals like such as Michigan Law Review, Animal Law, Harvard Journal of Law & Technology, Indiana Law Journal, Lewis & Clark Law Review, Michigan Law Review, Michigan State Law Review and, New York Law School Law Review, Texas Law Review, Vanderbilt Law Review, and Wayne Law Review and Michigan State Law Review have signed on, as have all of the journals published by Duke Law School and Villanova Law School. More information about the Program is available at the Science Commons Program page. The Program is one part of the Science Commons Publishing Project, which is working to support open access to scholarly research in a wide range of disciplines including agriculture, entomology, biology, anthropology and now law.
