  • As you can see, this is a truly inspired project that combines big picture vision (open education as a movement) with practical outcomes (using Mozilla/CC to create applied tools and resources) supported and realised by a great group of open minded educators. But great ideas are nothing if they aren’t transformed into action (Paolo Freire’s idea of “praxis”). I have proposed the following project as my own goal and outcome:

  • Institutional Repositories Should Be Built on Open Source Software
  • Open source [1] developers and users are unusually passionate about their work, unusual in ways that make things work well. So let me begin passionately as we talk about open source as the solution for support of institutional repositories.
  • Now that we have that behind us, let's discuss some of the myths and some of the reasons for dedicating your institutional repository to the use of open source software, open standards and open formats which, I contend, are inseparable.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Institutional repositories have taken a few knocks in the six years since Cliff Lynch's “Institutional Repositories: Essential Infrastructure for Scholarship in the Digital Age” appeared in ARL 226 [4]. But I'm concerned more here about the upcoming crashes than the bumps we hit on the road to more settled standardizations. 
  • Proprietary software vendors often try to finesse the open source access promise by offering small customizable ports of entry into their code, usually as application program interfaces or APIs.
  • For a long time, it has been argued that the market, as represented by proprietary software solutions, is more responsive to the needs of users, to new requirements and to innovations. Open source is now seen as a diverse infrastructure of solutions each in competition while also free to borrow from each other.
  • The ends and the means of institutional repositories are one and the same. The infrastructure that supports open access needs to be open itself.
  • A quick glance at the most recent statistics produced by the OpenDOAR Directory of Open Access Repositories suggests that the vast majority of existing institutional repositories are currently built upon open source software.

    Proprietary software vendors often try to finesse the open source access promise by offering small customizable ports of entry into their code, usually as application program interfaces or APIs. Like software escrow promises, this is a short-term solution to our long-term problems in curation of our valuable materials within our repositories.

    Firefox's bookmark shortcuts are criminally underused. It just makes sense to me to hit CTRL-L (or CTRL-T and then CTRL-L if I want a new tab) and type "g chris lott" to ego surf or "flickrcc dancing monkeys" to search for Creative Commons licensed images on flickr, etc. Here's a list of my current collection of bookmark shortcuts and the key words I use, some of which you might find useful

[publishing] Giving It Away | Cory Doctorow - 0 views

  • I've been giving away my books ever since my first novel came out, and boy has it ever made me a bunch of money.
  • Most people who download the book don't end up buying it, but they wouldn’t have bought it in any event, so I haven’t lost any sales, I’ve just won an audience
  • The thing about an e-book is that it's a social object. It wants to be copied from friend to friend, beamed from a Palm (nasdaq: PALM - news - people ) device, pasted into a mailing list. It begs to be converted to witty signatures at the bottom of e-mails
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • I've done this with three novels and a short story collection (and I'll be doing it with two more novels and another collection in the next year), and my books have consistently outperformed my publisher's expectations
  • perhaps the most social of all literary genres. Science fiction is driven by organized fandom, volunteers who put on hundreds of literary conventions in every corner of the globe, every weekend of the year.
  • As publisher Tim O'Reilly wrote in his seminal essay, Piracy is ProgressiveTaxation, "being well-enough known to be pirated [is] a crowning achievement." I'd rather stake my future on a literature that people care about enough to steal than devote my life to a form that has no home in the dominant medium of the century.
  • t's good business for me, too. This "market research" of giving away e-books sells printed books. What's more, having my books more widely read opens many other opportunities for me to earn a living from activities around my writing, such as the Fulbright Chair I got at USC this year,
