Creativity

Jono Bacon who is an Ubuntu Community Manager at Canonical announced a rather brilliant idea, to replace the "example-content" on Ubuntu live CDs and default installations with an Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase, a set of chosen content that is given under terms of Creative Commons Attribution - ShareAlike. This way they can both show what can be done with Ubuntu, as with the "example-content" folder and promote Free Culture.

Universal Music decided to experiment with the sale of DRM-free mp3's. Eexperiment will run from August to January and wil include Google, Wal-Mart, and Amazon.com, but not iTunes.

This looks like a nice project unfolding, a DVD of Free Culture materials. All the stuff on the DVD gives you at least the right to share.

I found out about it from this article I went to after cleaning out my bookmarks.

A collection of public domain fonts. I wish the site offered previews :/ .

I just came across a video that is just absolutely awesome. I am not sure how to describe it. It is a collage of images and text sending such a clear message about the nature of the web. It is very pro Free Culture. Using KeepVid.com I got a direct download link so you don't need flash to view it.

Enjoy!
