What’s Your Status.Net? at FOSS.IN and CC Salon India at Jaaga
I’m speaking tomorrow, December 2, 2009 at noon at the inspiring FOSS.IN conference in Bangalore with a new talk:
What’s Your StatusNet? (Updates like Identi.ca)
StatusNet is a hosted service for setting your status updates (aka, microblogging), is free software (licensed under the GNU AGPL), and is the software that powers the popular Autonomo.us Free Network Service, Identi.ca. This presentation looks broadly at these three parts of the StatusNet, how to setup YOUROWN.status.net, installing your own instance, and the company which supports the community. As a bonus, this talk introduces StatusNet’s business model and how to apply to other areas.
I’ll post my slides up once they are done! Bring on the realidad!
And, then tomorrow night at 7:30 PM, I’m giving another new presentation along with German artists at the first ever Creative Commons Salon Bangalore at my friend Freeman’s hacker/art space, Jaaga. Check out a quick excerpt:
Creative Commons Casestudies, Featuring Status.Net
Creative Commons is a well-known nonprofit organization that increases sharing and improves collaboration. Its key tools are six licenses that fit between public domain and complete control, copyright, to give you control over how your work is shared with the world. This presentation explores high level case studies that use Creative Commons licenses to make a successful project. The key featured case study is Status.Net, a new status updating hosted service and open source software that uses Creative Commons licensing for content.
For following all things CC Salon Bangalore, here’s the link.
I’ll get my slides up to both! Asap!
