Hi everybody, My name is Bjorn Wijers. I would like to introduce myself and ask some questions regarding customizations of the Ubuntu Studio (live) DVD.
I'm involved with Creative Commons Netherlands[1] and one of the founders of Stichting Open Media[2] which is a Dutch foundation that aims to share knowledge about creativity. At the moment we have been working on two projects: Simuze[3] - a site to legally share music under a CC license - and Netcultuur[4] - a Dutch language netzine focussed on the increasing digitalization of our society and the positive/negative effects-. Besides this I'm earning my livelihood by creating and customizing open source software (mostly in the context of webapplications) as freelancer under the name burobjorn[5]. At this moment I'm talking with various Dutch open oriented organizations about the creation of localized Ubuntu Studio based Live DVDs filled with open content similar to the Creative Commons Live Content 2.0 DVD (based on Fedora)[6] aimed at creators. The reason for this is to show creative people the potential of Free, Open Source Software (more specifically: Ubuntu Studio) by extending the current (great!) work with examples and samples of open content music, samples, books, howto's etc etc. Personally I really liked the CC live Content 2.0 DVD except for the fact that it is based on Fedora and not on a more creatives focussed distro. Since Ubuntu Studio does this its a no-brainer to use Ubuntu Studio as a base instead. I'm really curious what you think of this (admittedly still rough) plan and I have some more specific questions: First of all, is there an interest in extending the Ubuntu Studio DVD with open content? If so, what would be the best way to approach this from a technical perspective: is there already a build system that we can built upon and add for instance auto-curation? I'm really curious to thoughts, remarks and questions regarding this idea. Thanks for reading this rather lengthy message :) [1] http://www.simuze.nl [2] http://open-media.nl (old crappy site..)
