If you add info about this being CC to the description here on Kickstarter you can asked to be added to this list, and get a lot more people aware and donating: http://www.kickstarter.com/pages/creativecommons

commented on a projectHey, this is really cool! Thank you for your work! But I'd very much appreciate some info on how you are making sure that none of the poorest few percent of the 99% suffers unnecessary from the production of all these cards! That is directly (labor in the forests and producing the paper, etc.) and indirectly (climate issues from cutting the forests, environmental issues when it comes to the printing, etc. Also: The Yes Men uses Creative Commons license on most of their other work. I really hope you will release these cards under one of the less restrictive CC licenses! https://creativecommons.org/licenses/

commented on a project@Jaisen Thanks again for your thorough reply! Of course I'm backing you! I just want to stress how important the social aspects of this is! I don't know what you meant by: "Self installed and hosted versions would both provide social aspects. The hosted version may add additional social features which probably wouldn't be available otherwise - due to technical limitations." But I very, very much hope you will make the social aspects key in OpenPhoto. Flickr had not been where it is today if they didn't focus on the community aspect, had groups, comments, etc. Remember what Fake said about it being like a party: http://www.kottke.org/06/11/hosting-a-party So I hope both versions will be as much alike as possible, and have social aspects built in everywhere it makes sense to do so! I also want to stress again (I'm passionate about these two things, I hope I don't come off as nagging) the importance of these social features being distributed/federated! I'm no developer (as I've said before), but I do understand if this sounds like a daunting task. You don't have to implement it from the start, but it needs to be there after some time (IM-not-so-HO :))! If you do this then we will have yet an important tool in the fight against censorship and against oppressive regimes who wants to block access to certain services. OpenPhoto might also become the photo sharing service shipped with the FreedomBox server software, which is a truly awesome and important project. http://freedomboxfoundation.org You should have a listen to this talk by the head of the FreedomBox project: http://freedomboxfndn.mirocommunity.org/video/3/why-political-liberty-depends- Oh, and I just wanted to point out that both ActivityStrea.ms and Salmon is actually a part of OStatus… :) The very best of luck! I'll do my best to promote the Kickstarter project in these last hours to help you reach your monetary goal, and then promote OpenPhoto itself afterwards. You're making my dreams from so many years ago finally come true! :) Oh, one last thing: There is already a pretty great looking FLOSS online photo gallery software, but it has been dead for quite some time. You might still get some ideas from their code and/or design, maybe? And I would not be surprised if some of the developers from that project would like to help you a bit on OpenPhoto, if they're still around… http://www.getlifebox.org/
