Jahshaka is a video and film compositing, editing and special fx system that uses OpenGL & OpenML hardware rendering to give operators real time interactivity. The system is cross platform, and also includes full CG, paint and image processing modules.
These books serve as an introduction to various aspects and dimensions of free/open source software (FOSS) issues, including, FOSS in education, FOSS and government policy, localization, open standards and licensing.
The New Opportunities Made Possible Through Ease of Access to Scholarly and Research Data and Information
Summary: The ever-greater online availability of data and information is tending to what we might characterize as syntactic completeness. That is to say, we have an ever-better knowledge of all possible data and ensuing information in the particular domain of scholarly research. In this position statement, we note how the mathematical and computational modelling of data and information are crucial for semantic completeness. Use of data and information implies a well-elaborated understanding of both their syntax and their semantics. More transparent and hence better quality evaluation of both product and process is made possible.
What are Open Textbooks?
The Short Answer: “Open textbooks” are free, online, open-access textbooks. The content of open textbooks is licensed to allow anyone to use, download, customize, or print without expressed permission from the author.
The internet is a copy machine. At its most foundational level, it copies every action, every character, every thought we make while we ride upon it. In order to send a message from one corner of the internet to another, the protocols of communication demand that the whole message be copied along the way several times. IT companies make a lot of money selling equipment that facilitates this ceaseless copying. Every bit of data ever produced on any computer is copied somewhere. The digital economy is thus run on a river of copies. Unlike the mass-produced reproductions of the machine age, these copies are not just cheap, they are free.
Our digital communication network has been engineered so that copies flow with as little friction as possible. Indeed, copies flow so freely we could think of the internet as a super-distribution system, where once a copy is introduced it will continue to flow through the network forever, much like electricity in a superconductive wire. We see evidence of this in real life. Once anything that can be copied is brought into contact with internet, it will be copied, and those copies never leave. Even a dog knows you can't erase something once its flowed on the internet.
This is not a comprehensive list of the over 900 titles using OJS (as of March 2007) in ten languages, but includes those who have indicated an interest in being listed, and is intended to illustrate the diversity of journals using system.
