[Gllug] Jon Phillips speaking tomorrow

[Simon Morris]

Hello,

I haven't seen this advertised on GLLUG yet.

"""
Jon Phillips - Open Source and Open Content: International
Collaboration and Media Sharing

Wednesday 15 March 2006, 5pm, room MB150 (Main Building)
Goldsmiths College, New Cross, London SE14 6NW
Admission is free

The Internet enables collaboration and sharing on an obviously
unprecedented level. This talk discusses two different International
movements that continue to emerge that effect design and society. In
particular, Open Source Software development is a global movement of
software developers extending themselves on-line to collaborate and
develop free software. Similarly, the newer Free Culture and Open
Content movements are connecting media producers - designers, artists,
and anyone producing media around the globe with legal and accessible
media - movies, images and sound.

Through a discussion of Inkscape, an Open Source Drawing program, Open
Clip Art Library, a public domain clip art repository, and Creative
Commons' ccHost, the media hosting engine which powers ccmixter.org,
an overview of some possible strong routes for International
collaboration and media sharing are provided.
