Introduction
OpenMute has spent the last year researching and developing ways to solve the ongoing problems of small print cultural/ community producers, essentially financial and reaching your audience.
The solutions we have come up with are listed below and briefly explained in this document. They are predominantly Web based or orientated and use qualities synonymous with the Web; networks of interest, new economy and FLOSS.
-
Print on Demand (POD)
-
Networked distribution
-
Web to POD printing
Using the three components listed above we see that in combination we have an End to End remedy to the ongoing problems of small scale print producers, ironically using the Web and FLOSS to support print.
A full introduction to the project can be found at the end of this page as a PDF document and ongoing developments can be followed on our BUG tacker.
An invitation
OpenMute has spent considerable amounts of money and time on this FLOSS project and we are happy to share our acquired knowledge with partners in the spirit for the lesser know and ethically orientated copyleft license http://cgpl.org
We are looking for partners who would want to use the Networked Distribution System.
Additionally we are looking for partners to would financially contribute to the development of these systems. The development is already mature and we are looking for programming help, server resources, research help, beta testing, legal or administrative support to continue the software development.
