Manaus Travel guide
Manaus : Michelin's recommendations
On arrival in Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon, it is difficult to imagine that until the 19C it was a little Indian village that stood here: the rubber boom, followed by industrialisation, transformed it into the third largest city in Brazil! Although it is mainly a departure point for excursions into the Amazon rainforest, you only have to see a show at the Teatro Amazonas, or stroll around the floating port or the local market to get an idea of all the splendour – and all the contrasts – that breathe life into this concrete jungle.

Greenhills School Reviews
By a Parent on
As a parent fortunate enough to " afford" private schooling, the question from a value perspective is whether it's worth the investment. Unfortunately, that question might remain unanswered. Even so, the bar appears to be higher at Greenhills and the history (test scores and college acceptances) suggests that the right child benefits from this environment.

Skiers, snowmobilers eager for Northeast snow
CONCORD, N.H. — A midwinter storm headed to the Northeast on Friday could drop more than a foot of snow, setting up a weekend of skiing, sledding and snowmobiling in places that have been stuck with bare ground for much of the season.
The storm comes just after the 35th anniversary of the historic blizzard of 1978, which paralyzed the region with more than 2 feet of snow and hurricane force winds from Feb. 5-7. This week's storm isn't expected to come even close, but those who've been disappointed with the season so far say they'll take what they can get.
"We'll be here with bells on," said Christopher Kitchin, inside operations manager at Nashoba Valley Ski Area in Westford, Mass. "People are getting excited. They want to get out in the snow and go snow-tubing, skiing and snowboarding."
Small scattered snowstorms have kept business up at Nashoba Valley, but the upcoming storm could be "the icing on the cake," Kitchin said.
The National Weather Service says the snow will start falling Thursday night, with the heaviest snowfall Friday afternoon and night. Strong wind gusts may create near blizzard conditions. And depending on the storm's path, parts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire could get more than a foot of snow.
Tom Meyers, marketing director for Wachusett Mountain Ski Area in Princeton, Mass., said that at an annual conference of the National Ski Areas Association in Vermont this week, many participants were "buzzing" about the storm. He said the snow will arrive at an especially opportune time — a week before many schools in Massachusetts have February vacation.
"It is perfect timing because it will just remind everybody that it is winter, it's real, and get out and enjoy it," Meyers said.
Thanks to the ability to make their own snow, the region's larger ski resorts aren't as dependent on natural snowfall, though every bit helps. At Mount Snow in Vermont, spokesman Dave Meeker said the true value of Friday's storm will be driving traffic from southern New England northward.
"It's great when we get snow, but it's a tremendous help when down-country gets snow," he said. "When they have snow in their backyards, they're inspired."
Snowmobilers, who have no choice but to rely on Mother Nature, were hoping the storm restores trails that have deteriorated after a promising start to the season. After rain and warm temperatures, many trails in Maine turned essentially to thick sheets of ice, said Maine Snowmobile Association Executive Director Bob Meyers, who gets calls and emails daily from people seeking the best locations.
"People got a taste of it, and there's no question they want some more," he said.
Nearly all of Vermont's snowmobile trails opened after Christmas but riding lately has been limited to hard-to-reach mountain areas. Riders hope this week's storm will bring enough snow to cover bare and icy patches.
"I'd say maybe 75 percent of the trail system may be back up and running if we got a good 8-inch storm," said Matt Tetreault, trails administrator for the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers.
Still that may be too late for Michael Amarello, director of the Horse Hill 7K snowshoe race, which is scheduled for Saturday in Merrimack, N.H. He said Wednesday that he hadn't yet decided whether to postpone the race, but was leaning in that direction. Race organizers wouldn't have time to mark the course if it's snowing hard Friday afternoon, he said.
"We want snow, but we don't want snow Friday night — we want snow today or tomorrow!" he said.
Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., is going ahead with its 102nd Winter Carnival, But the snow comes too late to revive several events that have already been canceled, including a snow sculpting contest and an amateur ski race, said Eric Ramsey, director of the Collis Center and Student Involvement Office.
Still, the fresh snow will ensure the continuation of another tradition — the "human sled dog" event on the college green.MORE IN This Just In

Hi ,
Can anyone please clafify my basic doubt..
How source qualifier exracts the data from relational source. ?
Assume my source has 100 records. The source qualifier issues an SQL query to the source database.
and database returns 100records(Assume simple pass through mapping).
How the data transfer takes place ?
Will all the 100 records from source extracted to ETL server and ETL server loads all the data to target?
Will it extract record by record from source through network 100 times?
Is this has anything configuared in Powercenter Admin console ?
Hello Santosh,
All the results from the query will be cached by Informatica and processed in blocks depending on buffer/cache sizes. So the Source Qualifier will not query the database 100 times, but only once.
There is only a single hit to the Db for extraction of data however the loading of target from source is at record level.
Thanks Arun and Rokur..

How militarized should Starfleet be?

Re: How militarized should Starfleet be?
jayrath wrote:
Nope. Just nope. Read the "Hornblower" novels. Starfleet is part American Coast Guard, but mostly 18th century English navy, when captains were explorers, diplomats and even (kind of) representatives of commercial interests.
"Star Trek" is not war. When that does happen on-screen in the spin-offs, I very rapidly lose interest. If you want space battles, there are plenty of other shows. They are great; I hope you enjoy them. Instead, what made (and makes) Trek great is hope for the future. How can that possibly include a Starfleet constantly poised for battle? I resist and resent militaristic revisionism. Starfleet is the future NASA.
I'm not a fan of war either, but they are part a defense organization as stated in the tech manuals and seen on screen. Even the original had Enterprise facing off against Romulans, Klingons, you can't deny that.
I read Hornblower "Beat to Quarters" novel and I remember a big battle towads the end of the novel against a Spanish ship of the line. I'm sure the Brits kept a fleet of ships of the line somewhere in the Channel to prevent invasion or conduct their own. That's why I said, I woudn't mind having a few battleships just patrolling in the core systems or even parked inside starbases, so that the business of exploring can continue.

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
One of the great benefits of PowerShell V2 Advanced Functions is the ease in which you can support parametersets. ParameterSets are, well, different SETS of valid parameters. For instance you can say: Get-Process -id 0
Get-Process -Name *ss
Those are 2 different parametersets for the Get-Process cmdlet. Here is an example of how you would code parametersets using advanced functions:
function test-param { param( [Parameter(ParameterSetName="p1",Position=0)] [DateTime] $d,
[Parameter(ParameterSetName="p2", Position=0)] [int] $i ) switch ($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName) { "p1" { Write-Host $d; break} "p2" { Write-Host $i; break} } }
Now the question becomes - which Parameterset is used? Let's experiment. Clearly you can specify which parameter you want and the right thing will happen:
PS> test-param -d (get-Date) 12/23/2008 3:25:25 PM PS> test-param -i 42 42
But what happens when it is ambiguous? Where this is where the magic of PowerShell kicks in. PowerShell uses the types of the input to determine which one you want. If you specified a DateTime you probably want the p1 parameterset and if you specified a INT you probably want the p2 parameterset.
PS> test-param (get-Date) 12/23/2008 3:37:01 PM PS> test-param 42 42
This almost always does exactly what you want but if it doesn't, you can always say what you want and you'll get it (it is just a mechanism to relieve you of work!).
PS> test-param -d 42 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM
(That is the DATETIME corresponding to 42 TICKs of the clock! Was that really what you wanted? :-) )
So now comes the interesting part. What if the parametersets are ambiguous. Let's redo the script and make both parameters be STRINGs and then convert to DATETIME and INT in the script and see what happens.
function test-param { param( [Parameter(ParameterSetName="p1",Position=0)] [String] $d,
[Parameter(ParameterSetName="p2", Position=0)] [String] $i ) switch ($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName) { "p1" { Write-Host ([DateTime]$d); break} "p2" { Write-Host ([INT]$i); break} } }
PS> test-param -i "42" 42
PS> test-param "42" test-param : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named par ameters. At line:1 char:11 + test-param <<<< "42" + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [test-param], Parameter BindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AmbiguousParameterSet,test-param
If you don't specify which one you want, it is ambiguous. But let's say that as the script author, you know that 9 out of 10 times people are going to want the p2 parameterset. Do you really want to make people type in the parametername every time just to get around this ambiguity? Wouldn't it be great if the PowerShell team thought about such a circumstance and give you a mechanism to specify which parameterset to pick if things were ambiguous?
OH WAIT - they did!
function test-param { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParametersetName="p2")] param( [Parameter(ParameterSetName="p1",Position=0)] [String] $d,
[Parameter(ParameterSetName="p2", Position=0)] [String]$i ) switch ($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName) { "p1" { Write-Host ([DateTime]$d); break} "p2" { Write-Host ([INT]$i); break} } }
PS> test-param 42 42
Party on!

This is *very* cool. I'll make heavy use of this feature.
Other languages use overloading for this type of feature. What made you decide to "pack" all into one function? Will overloading be available as an alternative to keep code more readable?
I didn't follow that. Can you post an example of what you would like to work?

I'll email it to you, you can decide if you want to blog it.
Please remember that each parameter set must have at least one parameter that is unique...it does not belong to any other parameter set. This unique parameter should be mandatory, unless you are writing an advanced function (or cmdlet) that can be called without specifying any parameters.
Great article. In my blog post I describe another technique that can be used to avoid having "switch ($PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName)" all over in your code when you need to perform actions based on which parameters are provided: blog.danskingdom.com/always-explicitly-set-your-parameter-set-variables-for-powershell-v2-0-compatibility
Also, @Alexander Riedel, I believe cmdlet names need to be unique, so overloading is not an option (Jeffery, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Top Gear's Top Five Supercars
Ferrari 458 Speciale
Price: £208,065
Specs: 597bhp, 398lb ft, 0-62mph 3.0secs, VMax 202mph, 19.9mpg, CO2 275g/km
We still think the standard 458 Italia is something special, but the, er, Speciale is even more, er, special. The most vibrant, intoxicating supercar on sale today, in fact.
TG takes the Ferrari 458 Speciale around Elba
McLaren 650S
Price: £195,275
Specs: 650bhp, 500lb ft, 0-62mph 3.0secs, VMax 207mph, 24.2mpg, CO2 275g/km
The finest British supercar in many, many years. Probably ever, in fact. Newly uprated twin-turbo V8 delivers Maranello-crushing pace. Jolly good.
Top Gear's Speed Week 2014: the McLaren 650S
Ferrari F12
Price: £239,317
Specs: 730bhp, 508lb ft, 0-62mph 3.1secs, VMax 211mph, 18.8mpg, CO2 350g/km
The replacement for the awesome 599 is smaller and lighter, but even more powerful and faster. Erk. As good as front-engined, V12 Ferrariness gets. And it gets pretty damn good.
Ferrari F12 vs Lamborghini Aventador vs Aston Martin Vanquish
Noble M600
Price: £200,000
Specs: 650bhp, 604lb ft, 0-62mph 3.0secs, VMax 225mph, n/a mpg, CO2 n/a g/km
Built in a shed in Leicester around the engine from a Volvo XC90. Doesn't sound too promising, but the Noble is as scarily scintillating as nude wrestling, yet friendly, too.
Top Gear Speed Week 2012: Aventador vs 12C vs Noble M600
Lamborghini Huracan
Price: £181,865
Specs: 610bhp, 413lb ft, 0-62mph 3.2secs, VMax 202mph, 22.6mpg, CO2 290g/km
Lambo's answer to the 458 and 650S. It's very good, but… well, it doesn't deliver the knockout blow we hoped it would. Make it madder please, Lambo.

Ready-to-Serve Smokehouse Snacks
We make our own Kabanos in our sausage kitchen with traditional polish spice, lean cuts of pork and just the right amount of smoke; try our maple variety for extra flavor!Kabanos come in the following sizes:
Very flat tasting and not worth reording
Great protein boost for the middle of the day or any time. I liked it heated up but can eat it cold.
This is an excellent product that we cut into 1 inch pieces and add to our snack tray for guests. Anyone that tries it raves about it's flavor and texture. It is about the first thing gone from the tray.
My family loved the maple flavored ones. We served VT products to tons of guests and were not disappointed!!!

Respond to Review of May Kaidee's Vegetarian Restaurant - Tanao
by JohnnySensible
Review: May Kaidee now has 3 locations in Bangkok. The team have been providing incredibly tasty veggy food to myself & to so many of my friends for almost 20 years now. Usually excellent! Always best if May is there herself! If you have a free half day join one of May's cookery classes & buy a cookbook. Many organic ingredients. 98% vegan - cooked dishes are vegan - yoghurt is offered with a muesli. More here - www.khaosanroad.com/may_kaidee_veggie_power_vegetarian.htm

Emily Howald Sefton moved to the Twin Cities after a five-year stint in Chicago, where she perfected the art of creating order amid chaos (also known as magazine deadlines). As a writer and a managing editor for Chicago Social and Chicago Social Weddings, Emily cultivated the appropriate experience to wordsmith her way to Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, where she quickly said "I Do" to the role of Deputy Features Editor and Weddings Editor. Prior to earning a paycheck, Emily earned her masters from Northwestern University and her B.B.A. from the University of Notre Dame. When she's not busy exploring the nearest wedding venue or the latest workout trend, Emily spends time with her husband, daughter, and mini-labradoodle. You might catch her raving about the Green Bay Packers (Note: She is not, nor will she ever be, a Vikings fan) or teetering in uncomfortably high heels.

I'd love to stash some .json files on a CDN a la static.mydomain.com. Truth be told, static.mydomain.com is a CNAME in front of an Amazon S3 bucket.
I understand this violates the JavaScript security model. Is there an advised workaround or design? I've seen server-side stuff suggested like a PHP script to suck down data via cURL or file_gets_contents(), but that's a pretty lame approach. Is there any way to load JSON from a foreign server without getting too hacky?
UPDATE: Here's the line of thought that led me to believe it's a crossdomain issue for subdomains.
When I visit a page (e.g. static.mydomain.com/json/file.json) in Chrome, it displays as it would plaintext. When I visit the page in Firefox, it tries to get me to save the .json as a download.
I see a peculiar result in Firebug: A 200 response with no response body.
I can't log the direct headers via browser; my Firefox HTTP header plugin doesn't log anything before the download is forced. However here are the headers when loaded via this jQuery snippit (worth noting, the alert below doesn't fire):
alert("Data: " + data);

CC Talks With: CC Talks With: David Liao: Open Courseware and CC Licenses
Last week a researcher and educator by the name of David Liao contacted our team at Creative Commons about open courseware he had created, which we tweeted:
"A mathematical way to think about biology." Really well put-together CC BY-SA course. qbio.lookatphysics.com @lookatphysics #oer
— creativecommons (@creativecommons) March 25, 2013
I sat down last Wednesday to speak with David about his course, motivations for using a CC-license, and about other challenges in scholarly communication and education that are being changed by new ways of "open." He's created a set of videos and curriculum titled A Mathematical Way to Think about Biology, released under a CC BY-SA license. David, an Analyst with the University of California, SF and a member of the Princeton Physical Sciences-Oncology Network, recognized that quantitative research is fundamental to hard science disciplines, but there are few openly licensed training resources on these methods that can translate to Biology as well as other non-scientific fields.
Screenshot from David's Udemy course
Already a proponent of Open Access (OA) to research publications, David sums up his view on how principles of OA can be applied to education:
"Speaking loosely along the same lines of sentiment [of Open Access], it is likewise preferable to release, as free cultural works, both scientific literature and the instructional materials by virtue of which that literature becomes readable."
As David explained, there is a gap between the highly-technical aspects of training future researchers and the practical resources available; one that he hopes to begin to fill by making his materials available online. He has developed more than ten learning modules ranging from fundamental mathematical concepts of algebra and geometry to more complex areas of spatially-resolved models and cellular automata, all described in ways that apply to the biological sciences. The slide decks and tutorial videos have all been released under a CC BY-SA license, which allows reuse and remixing the content, so long as any adapted content carries the same copyleft license. David's content has been structured as a course, is available on the Udemy online learning platform and has had nearly one thousand participants use the material.
An advocate of many things Open for some time, our conversation shifted from OER to OA. David offered his take on Open Access and how scholarly communication has reached a point where tools like CC licenses are needed to maintain progress in a digital age.
"Ten years ago, when it came to negotiating legal matters around copyright and intellectual property, we would need to be able to do some serious Jiu-Jitsu, and likely involve a team of lawyers. Creative Commons [licenses] makes this communication so much easier."
Fort Worth MMA and BJJ_5896 / ironsidemma / CC BY 2.0
By making his content available on the web and applying a CC license to his work, David has taken steps to not only make his educational media openly accessible, but also explicitly describe how others can reuse his work. A longstanding problem in defining the core characteristics of "open", digital media that is freely accessible but does not allow for reuse or remixing is often confused with open content. David has been pleased to see learners using the materials in his course, as well as having had fellow college professors contact him about using his content to supplement their own teaching. When asked about his thoughts on others who likely will be remixing and building upon his learning content, David welcomed it fully, and is interested to have others to contact with links to derivative works.
A case study on the CC Wiki for A Mathematical Approach to Biology can be found here.
David's course can be found on Udemy here, and his personal website is here.

Free Culture Conference hits NYC April 20-21
The Students for Free Culture conference will take place in New York City April 20-21. The conference–dubbed FCX 2013–will be held at New York Law School.
The Students for Free Culture Conference is an annual gathering of student and non-student activists, thinkers, and innovators who are dedicated to advancing discussions on technology, law, and public policy. Through panels and keynote speakers, FCX 2013 will focus on current issues in intellectual property law, open access to educational resources, maker culture, and technology policy. Through workshops, the conference will revisit the core pillars of the free culture movement, examine the success stories from our movement, and identify new ways in which Students for Free Culture can advocate for a more free, open, and participatory digital environment.
Longtime SFC member Benjamin Mako Hill (who will be giving the opening keynote) says: "If previous years are any indication, the conference can serve as an incredible introduction to free culture, free software, wikis, remixing, copyright, patent and trademark reform, and participatory culture. For folks that are already deeply involved, FCX is among the best places I know to connect with other passionate, creative, people working on free culture issues."
The event is open to all, with a suggested $15 donation to help defray costs. Registration is open, and some limited travel assistance may be available for students of active SFC chapters.Comments Off on Free Culture Conference hits NYC April 20-21

Math instructor releases 2,600 videos under Creative Commons Attribution
Arizona Phoenix College math instructor James Sousa has been teaching math for 15 years at both the community college and K-12 levels. Over the years, he has developed more than 2,600 video tutorials on topics from arithmetic to calculus, and made these videos available on YouTube, originally under a CC BY-NC-SA license. His website and videos, entitled, Mathispower4u, feature both math lessons and examples, and many of the videos have been incorporated into online homework questions available at MyOpenMath.com.
Recently, James decided to change the license on his videos from CC BY-NC-SA to CC BY, or Creative Commons Attribution. He writes,
"Originally, the videos were licensed CC BY-NC-SA. However, the reason for creating these videos was to help students be more successful in mathematics. To increase student access and more easily share this resource with others, I decided to make the videos more open and change the license to CC BY. I hope the videos will provide a quality math tutorial resource to many."
Mathispower4u videos may be accessed in several ways, including through James' website, blog, YouTube account, and Phoenix College's video database. Thanks to James for his great contribution to open education and the field of mathematics!5 Comments »
Imprisoned internet pioneer Bassel Khartabil wins Index on Censorship Digital Freedom Award
Download press release (36 KB PDF)
Palestinian-born Syrian software engineer Bassel Khartabil is the winner of this year's Index on Censorship Digital Freedom Award, sponsored by Google. Khartabil is a free internet pioneer who has spent his career advancing open source technologies. On March 15, 2012, he was illegally imprisoned in Syria. His family were given no official information about why or where he was detained but have since learnt that he is being held at the security branch of Kafer Sousa, Damascus.
Index CEO Kirsty Hughes said, "Following courageous and peaceful protests in 2011, Syria descended into violence with appalling attacks on civilians across the country — and with over 60,000 people killed over the last two years. Up until his arrest last March, Bassel Khartabil bravely continued to work for a cause he passionately believes in — an open and free internet that is available to all. In a country torn apart by violence, he is a brave advocate for peaceful change."
Bassel's friend Dana Trometer, who is collecting the Index award on his behalf said, "Bassel deserves to be out of jail celebrating his real freedom and digital freedom. On this Mother's day in most of the Arab World, and as a mother myself, my heart goes out to Bassel's Mom. Bassel is a kind and gentle friend. A loving husband and son. He did not fear being targeted as he knew his love for Syria would save him from being persecuted by the authorities. Bassel is aware of this award and he would like to thank the judges and audience for trusting him with such an honour. He would also like to pay respect to all the victims of the struggle for freedom of speech, and, especially for those non-violent youths who refused to carry arms and deserve all the credit for this award."
Another close friend of Bassel's, Jon Phillips, stated, "Lock-up, Lock-out fails. Locking-up Bassel, only locks-out his personal freedom. By locking-up Bassel, his Syrian captors are accidentally locking-out themselves from the future. From launching Creative Commons Syria, building the Arabic Wikipedia and bringing internet leaders to Syria, he knew that his free participation in global web communities required concrete contributions locally. For these acts would make Syria a better place. One year later, Bassel is under harsh lock-down. Now, thousands of people that Bassel's work helped, now help him by spreading the message #FREEBASSEL. This is what truly builds Syria and connects it to the global connected future. This award proves that his lock-up, is NOT a lock-out of his digital freedom."
Bassel is known worldwide for his strong commitment to the open web, teaching others about technology, and contributing his experience freely to help the world. Bassel is the inventor of an open source software that powers the Open Clip Art Library. He is an original contributor to the Arabic Wikipedia and launched Creative Commons Syria. He is well known in online technical communities as a dedicated volunteer to major Internet projects like Creative Commons, Mozilla Firefox, Wikipedia, Open Clip Art Library, and Fabricatorz.Comments Off on Imprisoned internet pioneer Bassel Khartabil wins Index on Censorship Digital Freedom Award
Pallante's Push for U.S. Copyright Reform
Today, U.S. Register of Copyright Maria Pallante stood before Congress to say: we need a new copyright law. Pallante's prepared remarks (127 KB PDF) to the U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet called for "bold adjustments" to U.S. copyright law.
This is a most welcome aspiration. A strong push for copyright reform is currently occurring around the world through domestic reviews and in international fora like WIPO — coming both from those wanting increased recognition of user rights and those calling for tighter author controls. With the United States one of the leading nations advocating for stronger copyright protection through treaties such as ACTA and the TPP, the international community will be closely observing any movement in U.S. domestic law.
Seal of the United States Copyright Office / Public Domain
In addition to several meaningful reform ideas — including shortening the copyright term itself, alterations to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and making revisions to exceptions and limitations for libraries and archives — we're happy to see that the Register is highlighting the crucial need to expand and protect the public domain. Some of the most compelling work undertaken by Creative Commons and others in the open community has to do with increasing the accessibility and value of the public domain. We hope a more positive public domain agenda can become ingrained into the foundations of U.S. copyright policy. The central question: Can the United States devise a better system for both authors and the public interest in an environment where technology and social norms are increasingly disconnected from an aging copyright law?
Pallante said, "[A]uthors do not have effective protections, good faith businesses do not have clear roadmaps, courts do not have sufficient direction, and consumers and other private citizens are increasingly frustrated." However, there is no doubt that public copyright licenses are offering a substantial and effective counter to some of these pains — even noted by Ms. Pallante in her longer lecture at Columbia University titled The Next Great Copyright Act (337 KB PDF), "[S]ome [authors] embrace the philosophy and methodology of Creative Commons, where authors may provide advance permission to users or even divest themselves of rights." CC licenses and public domain instruments are right now helping alleviate frustration with copyright for all — individuals, businesses, institutions, governments — who opt in to using public licenses and licensed works.
Indeed, public licenses are easy-to-use tools for communities that wish to share their creativity on more flexible terms. And when millions of motivated creators share under public copyright licenses like CC, they create great and lasting things (hello Wikipedia). Public copyright licenses shine brightly in the light of Pallante's telling reflection: "If one needs an army of lawyers to understand the precepts of the law, then it is time for a new law."
At the same time, the existence of open copyright licenses shouldn't be interpreted as a substitute for robust copyright reform. Quite the contrary. The decrease in transaction costs, increase in collaboration, and massive growth of the commons of legally reusable content spurred on by existence of public licenses should drastically reinforce the need for fundamental change, and not serve as a bandage for a broken copyright system. If anything, the increase in adoption of public licenses is a bellwether for legislative reform — a signal pointing toward a larger problem in need of a durable solution.
We and the rest of the international community are looking forward to seeing what Pallante and Congress have in mind when they continue the discussion after today. In her oral testimony, Ms. Pallante said, "Copyright is about the public interest." We hope that the public interest has a seat at the table, with room both for open content licensing and positive legislative reform. The existence of CC licenses does not limit the need for reform. Open licenses help forward-thinking people and institutions to live and thrive in the digital age now, and illuminate the roadmap for beneficial reform to come. Let us begin.1 Comment »
Help Build the School of Open in German
On the first weekend of March, Wikimedia Germany and CC Germany hosted a workshop around the School of Open's official launch. Attending were professionals and enthusiasts from various fields, some lawyers but mostly teachers and education managers as well as activists of the Open Knowledge Foundation and the Internet & Society Co:llaboratory in Berlin.

After a quick introduction, we checked out the existing School of Open course program and all features of the P2PU user interface. The mission then was to get a first set of courses in German off the ground by either translating existing courses and/or developing new ones — and that's what we did:
Work on three courses began, partly translating the content, partly enhancing it. One course was envisioned from scratch, aiming at giving educators an idea of how OER work, why they matter and how. Here are the courses that are in development:
- Bilder auf Wikimedia Commons hochladen – In diesem Kurs kannst du lernen, wie einfach es ist, Inhalte auf Wikimedia Commons hochzuladen und damit die große Datenbank freier Bilder weiter zu ergänzen.
English translation: Upload images to Wikimedia Commons – In this course you will learn how easy it is to upload content on Wikimedia Commons, and thus complement the large database of free images.
- Wie erstelle ich einen Kurs auf P2PU?– Du möchtest einen Kurs anlegen und mit anderen dein Wissen teilen? Hier findest du in wenigen Schritten eine Anleitung.
English translation: How to create a course on P2PU – You want to create a course and share your knowledge? Here you can find a tutorial in a few steps.
- Freie Lernmaterialien in der Schule – OER für Lehrkräfte – Mit diesem Kurs lernen Sie die Bedeutung von Open Educational Resources, kurz OER, den freien Lehr- und Lernmaterialien, kennen.
English translation: Free learning materials in schools – OER for teachers – This course will teach you the importance of open educational resources (OER) and the freedom of teaching and learning materials.
At the end of the day, a start had been made and the participants collected a lot of ideas about how to improve and develop the School of Open program. A network began to emerge of interested experts and enthusiasts, many of whom will join the School of Open discussion list (Google Group) in order to get involved.
If you would like to help us develop the courses above, or create new ones in German, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or join the School of Open discussion list and introduce yourself and your interest!

Bassel Khartabil Nominated for Digital Freedom Award
#FREEBASSELDAY San Francisco / Niki Korth / CC BY
If you read Creative Commons' blog or follow our various social media channels, you're no doubt already familiar with the story of Bassel Khartabil, the long-time Creative Commons volunteer who's been detained in Syria for over a year. Last Friday, we participated in a global day of solidarity in honor of Bassel.
Bassel has been nominated for the Index on Censorship's Digital Freedom Award. The award ceremony will take place this Thursday, March 21, in London.
Software engineer Bassel Khartabil has been held in detention since his arrest in Damascus on 15 March 2012. The Gulf Centre for Human Rights believes his arrest is related to his work as a computer engineer, specialising in the development of open source software.
Khartabil, a Palestinian-born Syrian, spent his career advancing open source and related technologies to ensure a freer internet. Internationally, he is known for his voluntary work with open source projects such as Creative Commons and Mozilla Firefox.
