iCommons Annual '07
1
JC · Johannesburg (South Africa) · 28/6/2007 17:57 · 42 votes · 3 comments
 
For this year's Summit, iCommons decided to create an Annual, a
collection of some of the best and most interesting writing around the
Commons. Writers were commissioned from all areas of the Commons and
stories that had originally appeared on the iCommons site were updated.
The annual was designed by Johannesburg design company Infiltrate
Media, and the finished annual was distributed at the Summit in
Dubrovnik, Croatia. For those who were unable to attend the Summit, or
anyone who would like to download, remix, share and distribute these
stories, we have archived them here as PDFs. They're licensed under a
CC BY-SA 3.0 license, so feel free to get creative and spread them
around.

JC, most of these submissions were also made in word processor format. I know that mine was in both Open Document Format as well as in a patent impaired proprietary format.

It would be very useful for people wanting to remix these to have them in an easy to use format.

Good point, Andrew. In case anyone is interested in my article in HTML format, I've put it up on my blog: The "Playlist" Model of Course Development: Using Closed Content to make Open Courses

It's in the public domain. Have at.

Hi guys
The reason we put the articles up in this format is because we wanted to allow people to remix the articles that appeared in the Annual, the final products, if you will.

Articles were submitted for the Annual in various formats, then edited several times, and then sent to our designers to be laid out. At each stage, changes were made to the text (spelling and grammar were corrected, and in places, edits were made for length or clarity) and at times, to the design, so
the pieces that you see in the Annual are very different to the original documents that were sent in... Whew. Deep breath.

That said, we will put up the stories as articles, in a less proprietary form, very soon. Never let it be said we don't give you guys what you want. Sometimes it just takes us a little while...
