Just to follow up with this - we are still keen to get involved with any further efforts along these lines. We were tied in fairly late in the day last time: http://blog.okfn.org/2007/08/16/summer-of-content-launch/ http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/okfn-discuss/2007-August/000503.html http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Summer_of_Content_organizations#Open_Knowledge_Foundation We also worked a bit on documentation for licensing - though I think some of our contributions may have been superseded: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Licensing http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC:License As an aside I wonder whether it could be worth mentioning the Open Knowledge Definition (opendefinition.org) in addition to the Definition of Free Cultural Works as it also addresses data - not just cultural works or copyrightable content. It would be great if the OKF could be more involved next time around. Though we're probably not in much of a position to commit funds, I think we'd be happy to co-organise. I'm not entirely sure what happened to the last time - but it would be great to read about what happened and which projects were developed!
