[Wikimediaindia-l] Need music clips available under Creative commons license

2013-10-13 Thread Ravishankar
Hey,

We need some music clips that can be used as background score for some
outreach videos we are preparing.

http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/ is one source we found. Sound
Cloud has some clips too but many are reproduction of copyrighted music.

I am aware of
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_files_of_music but looking
for easy to navigate sources providing contemporary music.

Thanks,

Ravi

Maybe we could request musicians here (in Goa) to create these. What
category of music is needed? FN

hi,

Just a rough search on Jamendo (one of the websites on the list on the Creative 
Commons website - https://creativecommons.org/legalmusicforvideos ) for 
carnatic music gave me two results - 
http://www.jamendo.com/en/search?bq=tags_idstr:*^5q=*:*%20AND%20tags_idstr:%22carnatic%22
 

Perhaps, Indian musicians are already contributing to such an effort but might 
be worthwhile for us to do so more actively. Not only for background music for 
our videos but also perhaps on some Wikimedia article.

I have used the Podsafe network earlier; not too sure of the licence today
however.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Coverage: Konkani Vishwakosh (encyclopaedia) relaunched with a free license, may boost Konkani Wikipedia

2013-10-13 Thread Nitika Tandon
A special 'thank you' to Rohini Lakshane for working on this article.

Regards,
Nitika

Konkani Vishwakosh (encyclopaedia) relaunched with a free license, may boost 
Konkani Wikipedia

http://www.dnaindia.com/blogs/1901806/post-konkani-vishwakosh-encyclopaedia-relaunced-with-a-free-license-may-boost-konkani-wikipedia
The Konkani Vishwakosh was re-released under a Creative Commons (CC-BY-SA 3.0) 
license last month at an event held at Goa University, Taleigao. The digital 
version of the Vishwakosh (encyclopaedia) will be available in a few months. 
Under the license, the Vishwakosh could serve as a source of reliable 
references for the Konkani langauge Wikipedia, which is currently under 
incubation.

Last month, Goa University re-released a four-volume encyclopaedia, Konkani 
Vishwakosh under a free license. The encyclopaedia presents information about 
the world with an emphasis on the Konkani language, Goan culture, the folklore, 
history, and geography of Goa, etc.

What does the open license mean?

The Konkani Vishwakosh was relaunched under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 (Creative 
Commons-Attribution-Share Alike 3.0) license. The Creative Commons licenses are 
a legal tool for copyright owners to manage rights and permissions for their 
works. Under the CC-BY-SA 3.0, users are free to reuse, modify, build upon, and 
redistribute content from the Konkani Vishwakosh, as long as they attribute it. 
The same license also applies to any work created by using content from the 
Konkani Vishwakosh. Licensing the sources of knowledge is a way of enabling 
access to knowledge, especially for those who may have little or no access to 
it. 

Relevance to Wikipedia

One of the cornerstones of Wikipedia is the use of citations. All writing on 
Wikipedia must be supported by reliable and independent references. Any editor 
may challenge and removed unsubstantiated content on Wikipedia. The Konkani 
Vishwakosh could serve as a vast and versatile source of references for 
articles in the Konkani language Wikipedia, which is currently under 
incubation. Content from the Vishwakosh could go into the building of the 
Konkani Wikipedia as the text on Wikipedia too is available under a CC-BY-SA 
3.0 license. 


Digitisation of Konkani Vishwakosh

The Centre for Internet and Society - Access to Knowledge (CIS-A2K) team and 
Goa University together have undertaken a project to digitise the Vishwakosh 
over a period of two months (October and November 2013). They have made a call 
for volunteers to type out pages from the encyclopaedia in the Devanagri 
script. More about the project here.

Links to press coverage, and report of the launch event by CIS-A2K.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Need music clips available under Creative commons license

2013-10-13 Thread Subhashish Panigrahi
- Free Music Archive (http://freemusicarchive.org/) has a lot of downloadable 
audio files.
- Both archive.org and soundcloud.com have options to search only cc licensed 
music.
- http://www.ektoplazm.com claims of having 7 million free licensed music files
- More links to such portals at: 
http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/creative-common-music-download
- WikiCommons has a lot of music, but it might be little difficult to search 
them

Best!
