- Festival2011/Public Domain Megastore + (Time: Saturday 15:30-16:45 in Learning Lab … Time: Saturday 15:30-16:45 in Learning Lab: Rm 213! With: Renata Avila (Creative Commons Guatemala), Jane Park (Creative Commons) News photographers and videojournalists on assignment take hundreds if not thousands of pictures and footage. But when their work is published, only a very select amount is used. Let’s conservatively estimate 1 in 100 photos and hours of footage are actually used. A lot of waste occurs with this system. Lots of images, footage, captured moments never make it into the frontpage. But what if there were a “megastore” for all the unused photos and footage? What if all the digital scraps, the thousands of unpublished photos and footage, were uploaded in a way that freed up storage space — fast and easily — from photographers’ cameras and video cameras and offered them incentives, such as equipment, discounts and promos, to donate the images online. A condition of submission could be waiving the rights and getting the photos into the public domain for maximum reuse, using the CC0 public domain dedication. Or a default CC Attribution license, for maximize reuse with credit. We should even create incentives for the use of CC0, somehow recognize and/or reward those who dedicate their photos to the public domain. Crowdsourced tagging could be explored, for example, with image captchas to unlock phones or play games. Sponsors and high-scoring photographers would be featured prominently. And the public would have access to professional quality images and footage from all over the world. We can start at the festival, inviting those willing to contribute with their own cameras, for example. During the festival we would like to: *Iterate on the Warehouse process and create a lightweight prototype *Invite key stakeholders to test and help shape it *Invite media groups attending the festival to encourage the ecology of sharing among their teams and create incentives for their teams to share instead of deleting contents.ams to share instead of deleting contents.)

- Festival2011/Flow Media: Real-Time Reporting + (With the unfolding of the Arab Spring thro … With the unfolding of the Arab Spring throughout the Middle East, the London Riots in the UK, and the Occupy Movement around the US, news consumers, journalists, and technologists saw the increasing reliance on real-time information streams to give readers access to every new update in a story. The popularity of live blogging makes it clear that this thirst for real time news can be dealt with using blocks of varied media from significant tweets through to live video feeds. However, the workflow for keeping up with the firehose while maintaining context and accuracy is in desperate need of a refresh. Join Alastair Dant from the Guardian and Bilal Randeree from Al Jazeera in this design challenge. Some areas to focus on: SPECS: Can we create a standardized format to represent real-time episodic information? TIMELINE UI: How do we present real-time info to the end user beyond the vertical strip and left/right scroller? LINKS: Linking to a liveblog: How do you retain context and the stream? COMMENTS: How do you integrate a comment stream into a live stream so that they correspond to a specific event? ADAPTABLE CONTEXT: How do you create an adaptable presentation, that can move with a one-time event that turns into something longer-term? THE CONTROL ROOM: Where do you focus "the camera" when you don't know where a story is going. And what is "the camera" anyway?is going. And what is "the camera" anyway?)
