Less than a talk, I would like to host a sort of a workshop that would be interesting for both hard-core geeks and more artistically inclined digital creators as well as every one who enjoys having a beer early in the day and not being judged. For the talk to have broader appeal I need you to tell me, what sort of knowledge you’d like to exchange more. So here is the rough idea, which hopefully you could help me shape into something more precise.
open production & distribution of content:
what it means (and it doesn’t necessarily mean open source!), what are the possibilities and limitations? differences in film, applications and music. How to open up the production process?
what creators could learn from the open-source community and vice versus:
sharing, community building, approach to audience (user), fiscal responsibility etc – characteristics that make a project successful. Also general internet saavy, licensing issues, online platforms…
how to sustain digital project? various models
can it be done? how? There are few known approaches here, I’d like to talk about. This is, however, open for discussion, perhaps we can generate some ideas together.
let’s talk about our projects:
whomever would like to could say few words about the projects (be it film, music, applications or something else) they are developing and if we figure there is some knowledge to be shared between the creators or potential audience-members we can take it to the bar later.
I’ll illustrate this with few examples from film, since this is my are of… erm.. dare I say it ‘expertise’. I’m sure Dan will have the music bit pretty well covered.
Please let me know what you think, what I should include or not to make the whole thing interesting and informative. You can drop me a line at ana(at)abinarylife(dot)com or find me on identi.ca as binarylife, on twitter as binarylife and there’s always comments form below. Thanks!
