Why Openness Matters: the Deptford.TV Project.
Adnan Hadzi, Goldsmiths College, University of London
Deptford.TV (http://www.deptford.tv) It is an online media database documenting the urban change of Deptford, in South- East London. The presentation argues for the importance (in terms pf policy recommendation when funding and developing projects) of:
a) the use of open source software, which ensures the users continued control over the infrastructure for distribution;
b) the capacity building of participants in the technical aspects of developing an on-line distribution infrastructure that they themselves can operate and control, empowering them to share and distribute production work both locally and internationally.
