What do the Prime Minister of France, the founder of #CreativeCommons, the COs of #RedHat and @opensuse and thousands of children have in common? They all love 💕 "Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream"
💥 We want to go create an animated movie about Ada’s story!
🚀 To produce the movie in English, French, German, and Italian will cost us €40,000. Your donation will make a difference for many children who will be inspired by Ada!
NSFW. I decided to give away the stuff I wasn't able to sell for free. Download it, read it, back it up in a better archive, I stopped caring, especially with book censorship as prevalent as it is in my country. Also, everything is under a #CreativeCommons License so do whatever. Just know that book censorship hurts everyone, and support writers. https://robertkingett.com/free/#Romance#Erotica#Books@bookstodon
Yes, I was there earlier at the Korean Cultural Center. This is proof of it. :P
The mini museum exhibit will run until 2024-06-29, so visit it while it is still there. It's simple but the experience is amazing. It puts to shame the larger museums and and well-funded exhibits. (seriously)
Would an album/grouping of CC licensed files be considered a work in itself? On a site where users can create albums for slideshows of CC content. #creativecommons
It's mainly publishing Creative Commons documentaries and Public Domain films. I've also edited together a modern soundtrack for some silent films using CC music.
I did not come up with these tales - I merely translated them from transcripts based on a centuries-old storytelling traditions. And I strongly feel that these tales deserved to be told further - which is why I am putting all my translations under a #CreativeCommons Zero license.
So it is extremely gratifying to see how others use these tales in their own work - whether in art, in #ttrpg , or in podcasts and online shows.
“We turned the battlefield into a public park, and people from all walks of life and every part of the world came to that park and planted a garden. It was a true Commons, open to all, carefully tended. In a world of selfishness, greed, belligerence and enmity, the Commons was a beacon of civilization.”

Was working today on kind of an entry piece for Community Design Team: a logo and new mascot for #Bootc (special type of container).
His name is Bootseef and he's ready to fly through updates! 🚀🚀 Thanks to Madeline Peck and Design Team for the sketches, sources and color choices that inspired me. 👋 I enjoyed doing this particular mascot the most.
@fedora.design@peertube.linuxrocks.online and #CommunityDesignTeam have lots of work on their plate, so I invite aspiring and designers by trade to have a looksie-look in their GitLab issues. @fedora has engineering and other teams worth their gold, making software great, as well.
I was looking at Old School Essentials response to OGL stuff a while back. https://necroticgnome.com/blogs/news/an-update-on-old-school-essentials-and-the-ogl
And this stood out to me. "One really important aspect of the current OGL is that it allows publishers to label portions of a text as available for other publishers to copy/adapt in their own works." and "For this reason we plan to make use of an alternative license to easily denote which sections of the future, non-OGL OSE are open content."
I do not get this sentiment and it is common with OGL supporters. Why do you need a license to specifically tell you that you can do this? You can do it anyways. It is your work. Just use the creative commons attribution license. Then go write a paragraph saying certain parts of your work at not under the creative commons attribution license.
When the pandemic hit in early 2020, and we were all told to stay at home indefinitely, instead of nurturing sour-dough starter, I translated Sigrid Undset's puppet theatre stage play, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, which I released under a Creative Commons licence in the hope that someone will take the time and trouble to stage it once again.
It has been freely available on Wikimedia ever since, but today I had the bright idea of uploading it to the @internetarchive, too.
Great news. Last year's release of the IRR related to #Copyright stated that a registry will be created for Filipino works, and works produced in the Philippines, in the #PublicDomain.
In addition to the above, the IRR also finalised that any Philippine government works, unless otherwise specified, are now automatically in the Public Domain.
