Open Data

Just spent the whole day creating and submitting an entry for Wikipedia for Landscape-Portrait. For the lay user there is a fairly steep learning curve, I had all my images rejected because I attached the wrong licence to them ! - however I did find a open source
OGG video convertor which is good. We wait and see if it is accepted. My plan is to release soem of the video content in the public realm via Wikipedia Commons, which is then accessed by DBpedia and made availible.

Landscape-Portrait OGG Format

Just looking at the next phase for Landscape-Portrait. I want to create a Wikipedia page for he project, in addition upload the content to Wikipedia or Wikicommons. Either will require me to reformat the video portraits using the ogg codec. I guess I am concerned about the type of license also, 'fair use' seems appropriate but this would exclude the commons, where content is made available copyright free. There is also the question of the participants rights, and thoughts of how this content will be used.
