| | |
| First run of LiveContent initiative, to be debuted at LinuxWorld 2007, San Francisco. The iso is being hosted at http://cc-livecontent.dreamhosters.com.
| |
| | |
| To burn and test a copy of LiveContent v1.0:
| |
| | |
| #click on the most current iso image (titled "ccLiveContent-LATEST.iso") and download to your computer
| |
| #burn the iso onto a CD
| |
| #reboot your computer with CD inside
| |
| #while computer is rebooting, hold down "boot from disk" key ("C" on Macs, "F12" PCs) - note: the LiveCD can only boot from Intel-architecture machines
| |
| #at boot menu, choose "run from CD"
| |
| | |
| LiveContent will boot and run directly from the CD. Please feel free to test out the interface, applications and cc-licensed content. We truly appreciate your time and effort in logging comments, concerns and suggestions [[LiveContent#bugs|here]]. +

| === Fedora 7 ===
| |
| Fedora 7 is the Linux operating system that will be running live from the CD. Fedora 7 can be customized by creating "spins." Spins are custom builds of the CD with applications and features that meet the users' needs. A specific spin can be documented by including a "build date" on the CD and its packaging. Any user who has installed Fedora on their machine can spin custom LiveCDs.

| === Creative Commons-licensed content ===
| |
| We want to provide examples from each category (audio, video, text, image, education) to showcase on the LiveContent CD. We will develop a system that can automatically pull top content from the sites that we choose (and these sites can change as well).
| |
| | |
| We'll feature one website/service/cc-content provider from each of the 5 categories for this initial run. We should provide examples of cc-licensed materials from each. don't know how many--we'll see how much room is left on the cd:

| | |
| ===v1.0 testing feedback===
| |
| | |
| Please help CC make LiveContent the best it can be! Provide feedback under the following categories, or create your own!
| |
| | |
| ====interface====
| |
| * desktop icons look like part of the background- they should somehow be raised or otherwise be made to look like an icon, rather than part of the background.
| |
| * (DONE) not clear that using two desktops makes sense; just one more thing for people to click on and be confused by. Make it only one desktop by default, and remove the applet from the panel.
| |
| * make CC the default search in FF. (this may be confusing to users used to Google as default)
| |
| * if there is a global CC ical file, the calendar should be subscribed to it so that it shows up in the calendar in the panel clock. (none right now)
| |
| * (DONE) folders that are 'bookmarked' show up in the 'Places' menus; would be good to bookmark the various Audio/Video/etc. folders, I think.
| |
| * nautilus thumbnails certain media types. The thumbnails should be pre-generated so that there isn't excessive drive access and clock icons when people open the folders for the first time. (They are in .thumbnails, I believe.)
| |
| * nautilus can put icons on individual files. I suggest that perhaps nautilus should include icons representing the licenses, and then each media/content file can have the license represented as an icon on the file. (Either as a supplement to, or a replacement for, the ugly license.txt file. The license.txt can be hidden with by placing it in .hidden, as in http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/livecd-project/trunk/locales/en_US/home/Desktop/Images%20from%20GNOME%20community%20events/.hidden?view=markup) (liblicense will address these concerns, with emblems in the works to denote the license)
| |
| * nautilus can reorder and remember the order of files; would be good to order the content directories something like content / web links / license.txt. (That information is stored in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/ if you need to back it up.)
| |
| * (DONE, but also we should find a way to represent this so that titles do not appear to cluttered) the pictures should be titled with names/author ('foo by Steve Bar.jpg'), instead of 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
| |
| * web icons should have the globe replaced with the sites favico or something like it. (There is a way to do this, but I admit I don't recall what it is.)
| |
| | |
| ====content (audio/video/image/text/education)====
| |
| | |
| * no Free Culture in Texts? :)
| |
| * in Education, probably a link to Curriki would be good. Ditto perhaps http://www.introecon.com/ ?
| |
| * perhaps the various CC comics, both http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/ and http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/comics1/ ? Not sure where those would go.
| |
| | |
| ====proposed additions/deletions to applications====
| |
| * would remove DOM Inspector plugin from FF, and add the MozCC plugin.
| |
| * why OpenOffice? Abiword and Gnumeric fit onto a liveCD much, much better- could fit another several dozen megs of content, at least, if you made that swap. (I seem to recall the difference was over 100 megs when I was working on the old GNOME liveCDs.)
| |
| * I'd remove gnome-terminal, at least from the final build. No need to have it clutter up the iso or the menus for this target audience.
| |
| * the screensaver should be turned on, and set by default to use the pictures in the Images directory.
| |
| *For Kids (possible inclusion in future releases)

| ====bugs====
| |
| | |
| *wireless is not supported on all machines [not fixable by CC]
| |
| *system time is incorrect [system does not know the timezone, so never going to know it correctly. Perhaps remove the clock altogether?]
| |
| *is there printing support?
| |
| *I have many error of logical block at the boot of the cd. I can't view the main interface.
| |
| | |
| ====comments/questions====
| |
| *note - productivity and creativity apps cannot be independently installed without first installing Fedora - aka liveCD doesn't support application installs before full OS install
| |
| **however, most of the applications have been developed for a variety of operating systems in addition to Linux
