Week 19
Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Models
- Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
- Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920 x 1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your root directory.
Learning outcomes:
- Formulate future opportunities.
Have you:
- Imagined and outlined possibilities and described how to make them probabilities
- Prepared a draft summary slide and video
1. Choosing a license
For my final project I will choose an open source license that will give permission to everyone to use, modify and share my code. What I needed to decide is what conditions I want the license to have.
As I didn't know which ones existed I looked for the information on this website. There I could compare licenses with different restrictions.
Types of licenses:
- MIT license: permissive license that allows peope to use and modify the code as long as they provide attribution back to you.
- Apache License 2.0: this license is similar to the MIT one but it also includes an express grant of patent rights from contributors to users.
- GNU AGPLv3: this license is the most restrictive one, anyone who distributes the code has to make the source available under the same terms, and also provides an express grant of patent rights from contributors to users.
MIT license
In my case I will choose the MIT license. In the next picture you can see a summary of the main aspects of this license:
2. Draft of summary slide
I have started to do my final project's slide including the different skills that I have used to create my final project.
3. Draft of summary video
I will do the video using the iMovie program of my Macbook. I have been putting together the different pictures and videos that I have of my final project that I have been using on the weekly assignments.
This won't be the final video but the structure will be simillar. I will show the different things that my project integrates, the final result and, hopefully, a demo of it working!
4. Bussines plan
I have recently used a Bussines Model Canvas (BMC) and I thought that I could use this for defining my final project. "The Business Model Canvas (BMC) provides a simple, but comprehensive, format for mapping and refining key factors of a business". A canvas is oftenly used by entrepeneurs.
I downloaded this image and I worked over it writing down some of the ideas that I have.
