Our lecturer today explained about free online cultures and societies. These include Creative Commons and Free/Libre, Open Source Software (FLOSS). Creative Commons or CC is a non-profitable organisation which allows artists to upload their work online with a more flexible copyright.
FLOSS was introduced in 1981 by a man named Richard M Stallman. When computers were first created all software was free to share until proprietary software took over the internet. However thanks to Richard M Stallmann a free software foundation named GNU allowed computer users to freely share and edit software again. Later on free software was called 'Open Source' since it sounds more sophisticated and therefore businesses would be more likely to get involved in the free software foundation.
Making good use of free software I have created a short still image slide show. The photos shown in the video are from Black Rocks located in northern NSW. A year ago, my partner and I went camping there for a few days. We took an afternoon just to walk around the absolutely beautiful beach and explore its magnificent sites. I took many pictures throughout this walk which allows you to have a detailed illustrated tour of Black Rocks. The music in the background of the video is by Tymphony and the song is called "At last, Calm". I have found this music on Jamendo, which is a free and legal music downloading website and is CC licensed. I hope you like the video. Enjoy!
