Of feeds, reuse, and rights

The first widespread use of syndication was aggregation for personal use, but syndication also enables headlines or actual content from one site to be republished in different places. (You can see this at work on my front page, where I use Alan's most excellent Feed2JS.) Of course the question of copyright arises here, as some people don't want their feeds to serve for anything other than personal use. (Personally, I'd be happy to see my headlines being published wide and far, but I'm not selling advertising.)

Feed rights issues also arise in the context of splicing (combining two or more feeds to make an aggregate feed and publishing it). Here are a couple pointers to recent talk about this:

RobbInteractive: "Rolling up those particular feeds (linkblogs from Anil Dash, Waxy, and Jason Kottke) was in contravention of the terms by which at least two of those lists are made available, particularly on a page which included some advertising. This is true so I have removed the rollup, and I owe Anil Dash, Waxy and Jason Kottke an apology."

Burning Questions: "as more and more meta-feeds and hybrid feeds are created from multiple source feeds, it will be important for publishers to declare licensing intentions for their content. Our new Creative Commons service is a step in that direction."

Now, Robin Good wants to build a directory of reusable webfeeds. My question is, why separate it? I think copyright information ought to be just one more field in a global directory that enables searches to be limited to reusable feeds. Robin says none of the 104 feed directories he knows about tabulates rights information. Pretty astonishing.

Avec un grand O

(english follows) Michel Dumais, qui a organisé les événements Constellation W3, offre son temps et ses ressources pour prendre en charge la logistique entourant la conférence dont on jase depuis un moment, à titre d'"organisateur en chef" (j'imagine). Je me disais justement ce matin qu'on aurait besoin de quelqu'un pour coordonner l'ensemble... Étant donné l'excellent boulot qu'il a fait avec Constellation, je n'aurais pas de crainte à lui mettre ça entre les mains, pour autant que la mise au point du programme de la conférence relève de l'ensemble des organisateurs. Qu'en pensez-vous?

Michel Dumais, who put together the Constellation W3 events, has offered his time and resources to take charge of the logistics of the conference we've been chatting about, in a capacity of "main organizer" (I guess). I think it would make sense to have some kind of general coordinator, and given the excellent work he did with Constellation, I wouldn't be afraid to put this aspect into his capable hands, as long as the program itself is organized in a grassroots manner. What do you think?

Tutorials on open source in learning

I attended the Semantic Web Interest Group meeting in Montreal last week and got to learn a bit about the work being done by Tony Bailetti and Michael Weiss of Carleton University and Glen McInnis of ICHU Learning. Among other things, they're writing wrappers for various pieces of open source software to enable them to integrate well together. If I understood correctly they do this in the context of the Open Source Courseware Initiative NZ, which is managed within Eduforge. Digging a little bit on that site I was able to find two practical and reference-laden tutorials by Bailetti that may interest the developers and businesspeople among my readers:

OBJECTIVE

Upon completion of this tutorial you will know about the factors that drive organizations to replace proprietary LCMS (e.g., WebCT and Blackboard) for off-the-shelf open source LCMS (e.g., Moodle and ATutor).

TARGET AUDIENCE

This tutorial may benefit non-technical and technical individuals interested in making a case for their institutions:

  • to switch from proprietary to open source software systems
  • to install a new off-the-shelf FOSS LCMS
SOURCES OF INCOME FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH EXPERTISE IN FOSS IN E-LEARNING

OBJECTIVE

Upon completion of this tutorial you will know about the various sources of income available to individuals with expertise in free open source software (FOSS) in e-learning and you will be able to identify the specific sources of income that are available to these individuals in your region.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This tutorial will benefit non-technical individuals interested in building capability in FOSS for e-learning in their communities.
