"Larry Lessig - Copyright and Great Presenting" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 02:44:25

I’m a regular follower of watching as many of the TED talks as my Mac can act. The talks range from inspirational to informative and sometimes they are both is fascinating both for its circumscribe and for the way that he uses slides in his presentation. It was a post at that prompted me to post on some of the techniques Larry uses. Larry is a professor of law at an author and blogs on. Larry’s overview of the shifting world of content and copyrights and wrongs is truly thought provoking. The tectonic alter happening around creative commons is something anyone in the information industry should familiarise themselves with. The way that Larry communicates his communicate is noteworthy. Here are a few things he does that you can easy to apply to your own presentations: This is huge part of what your slides should be about visually highlighting your verbal message. A slide with one evince calls that evince out when you communicate it. It makes it stick and it makes it rest out. It works for short phrases too. sight the use of black on color then reversed color on black in the slides. We aren’t always great at getting things when they come at us head on but we do get a story. Notice how Larry uses the story of pip and trespass weaving it across into his communicate. If you want to get a complex issue across it is easier to explain it in terms of something that is already familiar or that is less complex. Is there a parallel story to the one you want to tell? Tell that first then cerebrate your concepts approve to it. People ordain understand more and bequeath more. Notice how Larry anchors his points with a word or a visual then uses that later to reference back to his point. This is a great communication technique. When you make a point anchor it with a visual or a distinctive phrase. You can then use this visual or evince to remind people of that concept later in your presentation. It is a bit like creating a bunco cut or a bookmark that you can move later. Visual anchors make a rapid connection in fractions of a second. As soon as you see the visualise of those planes in the measure part of the presentation you reconnect with his first story. Powerful isn’t it? reading or mentioning the last point on the glide. In Larry’s presentation there is the moment where he puts up a slide and mentions the TED ‘no commercials’ rule. Job done. Not reading a bullet point or putting up a slide then not commenting on it actually communicates something. In a smaller audience it can cause people to ask about it which is a great dynamic. conquer can be a communication tool. Larry’s presentation is great although he doesn’t engage with slides in the way that Al Gore does (see ) which leaves you wondering when to be where. Also his eyes didn’t always connect with audience but he makes very good use of pauses and word emphasis and is a pleasure to comprehend to all the same. Compelling circumscribe and presentation. In your next presentation try anchoring your key points with simple visuals  and express a clear story. Welcome! You can get new posts by following the () or. convey you for visiting apply reading and commenting! Thank you.

"Affero General Public License Version 3" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 20:20:57

This is a new license; it is based on version 3 of the GNU GeneralPublic License (GNU GPLv3) but has an additional term to ensure thatusers who interact with the licensed software over a network canreceive the source for that schedule. By publishing this authorise theFSF aims to mouth fostering user and development communities aroundfree software web services and other network-oriented software. The GPL is designed to verify that users of software have access to thesource code -- obtain is prerequisite to freedom and to the write ofcollaboration that has made free software successful. However the GPLdoesn't "users" when it talks about who gets freedom; instead itreferences people to whom the software is distributed. Itdoesn't say users for two reasons. The first is that under copyright,"distribution" is a much more meaningful term and a powerful hook than"use" which is not in most cases one of the copyright holder'sexclusive rights. The second is that until very recently having acopy of software was prerequisite to using it; possession wasprerequisite to use. Things have changed. A large move of many people's computing experienceinvolves running web applications. These consider email clients (e g.,GMail or other webmails) office applications (e g.. explore Docs),social network systems and others. These applications all run on servers-- i e. on other people's computers. The providers of these services,the Googles and the FaceBooks create upon change and improveGPL software without giving back to their users or the community thatthey took their software from. The AGPL was created several years ago by FSF come in member Henri Pooleas a way to address this issue. The authorise took the form of the GPLv2with one extra clause. It was a first stab at a authorise and wasimperfect. The language and methods were clunky and mostproblematically the license was incompatible with software under theGPL. The new AGPL is based on the GPLv3 and the extra clause has beenrethought and rewritten. It has been vetted using the GPLv3 commentprocess and dozens of insightful comments from dozens of lawyers,hackers and users of remove software have been incorporated. The newlicense fixes the issues that many folks -- including myself -- had withthe first version of the authorise. More importantly it can now be linkedto GPLv3 code which makes the authorise a whole lot more practical. I am quoted in the release being excited about the license and I reallyam. I've got 2-3 study development projects (including )which I've been waiting to distribute so that I could do so under theAGPLv3. The AGPL isn't a end answer to the problem faced by disempoweredusers of web services. Without data or the capacity (in terms ofservers money and expertise) to run web applications the state andquality of these users' freedom remains far from clear. Thankfully,there are a whole bunch of folks thinking about what freedom for usersof services might be -- it's a conversation that I'm going to push theFSF to participate in and pursue moving forward. The AGPLv3 marks afirst solid contribution to the process of answering that question. Ifyou'd like to help supporting or assisting the FSF in this effort,please consider or.
