Check out Tajee’s vlog/podcast about Creative Commons and what I do there (follow the link for flash video). Here is a quick sample of her blog:
ネオワールドにてお世話になっているCreative Commonsさんを訪問しました！
実は１２月に４周年パーティーがあったので、neo-worldのCDつながりで顔を出したのがきっかけ！パーティー主催をしていたJonさんを訪ねました。おちゃめなJonさんとおしゃれなオフィスに感動しまくりなのでした。。。
そうそう、Creative CommonsさんのHPに実は、neo-worldを掲載していただきました！
ありがとうございます！
I visited Creative Commons in San Francisco. Neo-world, the project to think of next generation by podcasting, is supported by Creative Commons. (Those songs are [licensed] under Creative Commons). I visited Jon, a party organizer of Creative Commons 4th anniversary in Dec.
He was such a fun person, and I was impressed at the cool office!
Creative Commons in Japan has an article about our project, neo-world! Thank you!

This is an interesting case about removing content but it still sticking around? How can you delete a digital trail? Well, you can’t, basically!

I wanted to add to the blogosphere about the OpenMoko first phone launch for developers on February 11. Looks like the OpenMoko team is sending me a test unit so I can explore development opportunities for this device and open content. That is great.
Check out Stefan Schmidt’s excellent todo list for his development efforts:
- Port OpenMoko framework to the Motorola EZX phones. This includes making the Motorola TS07.10 vendor specifiec stuff ready for the new kernel infrastructure and getting the GUI ready for 240×320 and looking foreward into dialpad only handling. A lot work and a lot fun. I hope we have something nice in Q3 2007.
- Sync with a linux desktop. One of the things I was pissed of by the most cellphones, even the linux ones, is the bad sync possibilities with a linux desktop. Why should we not be allowed to manage our contacs on desktop an cellphone without a hassle? This needs to be fixed.
- GPS navigation under linux. This also itching me for a long time. I like to see two solutions here. First something working based on navit, maemo mapper, gps drive, etc. Using existing map data is fine for the start. Second step should be a always running and *easy* to use openstreetmap data logger. Not only gps tracks, but also something that allows tagging streets and POIs right while walking/driving. The current technics of osm are good, but need to be improved with ‘smart autotagging’ and easy clientsoftware.
- Suppourt for more phones. I like to see OpenMoko on as many phones as possible. For EZX phones we have already people promised to get it ready. I heard also about somebody like to start the work for the HTC linux port. What’s about greenphone and all the other linux smartphones? If you’re doing work in this area please add it to the wiki, it will open 2007-02-11. Whenever I’ll get my hands on such a device I’ll even take a look myself.
I will put this question out there. What do people want to see available on mobile phones and OLPC-like devices from the Open Content worlds? It is only natural to have Free and Open Content available on these Open platforms. This includes licensing and access to media collections either directly or through web services.
Anyway, it is so great to see the concerns about mobile phones getting addressed and encourage developers and others to look at OpenMoko. The OpenMoko code and devices are coming out February 11, 2007.
