Announcing the commonwealth

Announcing the commonwealth 08/16/2004 06:16 PM

A few weeks back, we unveiled a new list for discussing the intersection of Creative Commons licenses and business, dubbed Commonwealth. It's headed by Marshall Van Alstyne, an Associate Professor of Information Economics at Boston University. The welcome message to the list details the goals for the list and plans for exploring hybrid licensing systems. If you'd like to sign up, the list's homepage is the place to start.

Some clarifications about the
"Commonwealth" list 08/19/2004 03:21 PM

A few of you have expressed concern about a discussion list we announced recently. These are all good points and I feel I should make a couple of things clear:

(1) It is never a foregone conclusion that a project in discussion will be adopted by Creative Commons. Check out the image on our discuss page, laying out the model. Projects live or die on the merits, and your take on the merits matters. So if you find the project description murky or if you think the project is completely barking up the wrong tree, please say so on the list. I will probably link to the comments on our initial blog entry and post them to the list myself. Anyway, the point is: the discussion lists should be considered laboratories, or seminars -- places to talk about and bang-up innovative licensing ideas, even ones a little outside the norm, and see if they hold up. Already your comments have been valuable in this way, and made a few on the staff here think more carefully about what this list is supposed to be about.

(2) If Creative Commons ever gets into what is vaguely being referred to as "commercialization" of content, it will never extend beyond facilitating what, say, the folks at Magnatune are doing: helping authors declare "some rights reserved," then to charge, if they want to, for uses of those reserved rights. For example: Joe picks a Creative Commons no-derivatives license, but then a movie studio comes along and wants to include it in a film -- what tools might CC consider including along with our licenses that will help Joe exercise the best of both worlds? That's the question I'm interested in, and if the discussion list in question is ranging afield from this basic principle, then I'll be commenting on it, too.

We certainly won't, as one comment imagines, turn commercial ourselves: the IRS would have a thing or two to say about that, our board would have probably my head well before that happened, and as a matter of conscience I'd be long gone well before even that.

Pesco on Silicon Valley Commonwealth
Club panel April 19 04/14/2005 03:48 PM
David Pescovitz: I'm honored to have been invited to participate in a panel organized by the Silicon Valley Commonwealth Club called "Joining the Blogosphere" next Tuesday, April 19. The other panelists include Dan Gillmor and Jude Barry. David Satterfield, managing editor of the San Jose Mercury News, will moderate, and Chuck Olsen, producer of the film Blogumentary, is the special guest. The free program begins at 7pm. If you're in San Jose, please stop by and say hello! From the flyer:

The current question in the Blogosphere is whether or not bloggers are journalists and if so, do they deserve the same rights as professional journalists? The civil rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation feels that being able to ensure sources’ confidentiality is critical to any journalist’s ability to acquire information and that includes bloggers. Are blogs a valid grassroots form of journalism? Or is there too much chance for inaccuracy and not enough fact-checking. Join us as we venture into this new land. At the start of our program we will view excerpts from recently released films – including Blogumentary and television programs related to how we get our news.

Commonwealth of Virginia Will Expand
Turnaround Specialist Program With
Microsoft Partners in Learning 09/24/2004 03:49 AM
Virginia Governor Mark R. Warner and Microsoft Corp. announced today in Portsmouth the formation of a relationship to support and expand the Virginia School Turnaround Specialist Program (VSTSP) for principals. As part of the Governor's Education for a Lifetime initiative, the program teaches school administrators proven business management skills, places them in charge of persistently low-performing schools, and works with local divisions to give these new principals expanded power to help turn their school around. Last spring Warner awarded a $1.4 million contract to the University of Virginia's Darden/Curry Partnership for Leaders in Education to implement VSTSP. Today Microsoft announced it will invest up to $3 million in the VSTSP over the next five years, through its Partners in Learning initiative, in collaborative projects aimed at addressing student achievement.

The Price of Admission to the Marqui
Content Management System

The Price of Admission to the Marqui
Content Management System 01/05/2005 03:59 PM

As I have been traversing the Marqui Content/Communications Management System as one of their paid to blog, webloggers my thought process has continually drifted back to how effective would this tool be for a small business. Hence the question in the interview yesterday. My initial conclusion is that it would be very effective.

My second thought was how much is it going to cost. I guess most business owners would probably ask that question first. I like to be able to buy a product and own it. I tend to shy away from re-occurring cost it's easier for me to swallow a one time payment even if it is going to be a big one, in that I know there will be few surprises down the road.

Currently the Marqui CMS pricing is based around a subscription model. Honestly I don't care for it. The tool is terrific but will it increase my organizations productivity enough to support the subscription fee. Hunting around the Marqui site I was unable to find a pricing model, this has a tendency to make me wonder why. So as a objective paid reviewer of their service I am going to suggest a couple of things.

1. Put pricing on your website
2. If it is as I suspect structured on the features you implement build a table with that pricing broken out.
3. Consider a one time flat rate purchase for the product.
4. Better yet have both models to fit the needs of all business owners.

I realize this may not fit their current business model but from the perspective of a small business owner I think it would help you gain market share in areas that they are not currently penetrating. [Marqui]

A Worthy Cause: Iraq's Archeological
Treasures 04/28/2004 08:21 PM
The looting which followed the invasion of Iraq was a terrible shock for many people, and the hand-wringing and worry which followed showed that many, including this author were convinced that some of the oldest and least-studied recordings of history, the Cuneiform Archive, had been lost and possibly destroyed. It also seemed clear that thousands of priceless artworks had been stolen and spirited away, with the administration more than happy to call the looting an "inside job", disregarding the fact that the protection offered these priceless relics by the US military forces was minimal at best, and very late in coming. The administration, as usual, was painting with a very wide brush - but so were the rest of us.

Windows Update: A Worthy Addition

Windows Update: A Worthy Addition 08/16/2004 10:29 AM
My colleague Mike Langberg and have done a one-two series of columns on Windows XP Service Pack 2. Mike, in this column today, says:

"It's also important to know that SP2 is a floor, not a ceiling, when it comes to computer security. You still need to separately buy, install and update anti-virus software. You'll also be safer with a stronger firewall than what's provided with SP2, either by purchasing a piece of firewall software or installing a home router that acts as a hardware firewall."

Meanwhile, my Sunday column says the update is Microsoft's best attempt yet at security (yes, faint praise), and that it "highlights the enduring and more fundamental reality of modern computing, including the risks that accompany our mostly captive allegiance to a monopoly product." My column in full: More...
