Weekly Task

  Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
  Prepare drafts of your summary slide and video clip and put them in your root directory.

   

During this week we have learned about the definitions of inventions, patents and copyrights and their types. To detect under which category we want to classify our projects. our projects will not be an invention, so a patent is not necessary. I want my project to be an Open Source project but also I need a license to save my copyrights.

There are many types of copyrights

• Creative Commons (CC) License:
  is one of several public copyright licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work. A CC license is used when an author wants to give people the right to share, use, and build upon a work that they have created. CC provides an author flexibility (for example, they might choose to allow only non-commercial uses of their own work) and protects the people who use or redistribute an author's work from concerns of copyright infringement as long as they abide by the conditions that are specified in the license by which the author distributes the work. From Wikipedia


• GPL General Public License:
  It is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.


• BSD Berkeley Software Distribution:
  It is a family of permissive free software licenses, imposing minimal restrictions on the use and redistribution of covered software.


• The MIT License:
  Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do.


• Apache License:
  The Apache Software Foundation uses various licenses to distribute software and documentation, to accept regular contributions from individuals and corporations, and to accept larger grants of existing software products

I noticed after I read about different types of Licenses that the Creative Commons license is the most appropriate type for me because it organizes the open source copyrights with many options. Other types of license focused on software like BSD and Apache and MIT license is giving all write to modify publish and sell.

Creative Commons License

There are many types of license and the name of Creative Commons to give the users more option to protect their rights when they publish on the internet. For more information this is the offical website of CC The main types are:

Planing and Possibilities for future development of Project

I am planning to make prototype of my project to find storage of water and their problems.

I am going to make this project as an open source commercial project

I am making the first prototype for the villegers.I future I wanted to try my hand on the project and see if I could make it uses low cost material which could be feasible for the Indian market.

where you would fabricate and assemble your devices?

After Conducting various testing and trials with different location, if product sustains I want to start small manufacturing setup for this product.Initial project development up to that will be done at FabLab Vigyan Ashram.

How you would distribute the devices (you directly, resellers, through internet, under the shape of a kit, etc)

For distribution and deployment of these device in needy areas needs awareness.Initially I want to show usages of this device to people and goverment department with some demo trials.Once People get aware of that with help of local goverment I want distribute and sale this.

If you are planning to build a community around your project since it is a societal project

It's Social Project to make people aware about water availibility. May it will help to solve water shortage problem some how through awareness and that again benefits a major community like farmers.As per water availibility they can do crop managment and get better market value.

Water is fundamental need of every living thing and somehow my project helping to some of them
