week#18. Invention, intellectual property and income.
A little about my 18-th week assignment
Our assigment for this week was to develop a plan for dissemination of our final project i.e. to create a plan to distribute it.
We also need to create a license for our final project and document it.
Dissemination plan.
Make the chain of different prototypes (according to the idea of spiral developement) and by testing them with me mysel and some of my friends to get pros and cons for each of them (the closed testing). Do that by october.
Make a social network page about this product and some derivative (the capacitive sensors and some others), post some articles onthematic resources in web - in other words develop the strategy of the idea promotion (not the good itself). Do that by december.
When there is enough of people interested in this thing (or it's derivative) try to make a crowdsourcing by seting up an event based on design-solutions including project-based ideas. Propose tech suppot for a humble fee (make a landing page with prices and documentation (CC-BY-NC-SA).
Make the chain of reports and articles about the event py promoting the culture of using the product and derivatices.
Scale everything up.
License
I decided to try creative commons license for this project because I liked the idea of making opened projects - it gives an opportunity to make a greater impact (or that's just the way it seems to me right now).
To construct it I used the constructor from creativecommons web site.
The license I am using is CC-BY-NC-SA. That means that:
It is the Creative Commons type of license (CC-...)
Everyone who use my results should appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes that were made (...-BY-...).
The result shouldn't be used for comercial purposes (...-NC-...)
...-SA means that in case of remix, transform, or build upon the material, everyone must distribute their contributions under the same license as the original (in this case: CC-BY-NC-SA).
