Research Projects
Hi Everyone,
As I do not think that we will make our schedule for presenting the research projects this week ( I have not finished my paper either) I propose we postpone. This is not that big a deal, a week or two extra is no problem for this course I think.
Some of you have mailed me really intersting initial ideas for research projects, I encourage everone to post them here to generate feedback or to send them through the email list. As soon as everyone has a project and is on his or her way we can start to schedule a meeting to present the projects.
Good luck and do not hesitate to email your ideas to the list or post them here!

I will be researching and hopefully executing in a timely manner a small hot sauce business. It will be called "Hell's Ketchup" and each sauce will honor mythical demons from specific regions and their subsequent culinary traditions. For example the Chupacabra sauce will contain traditional ingredients of South America. The vampire sauce will contain austro-hungarian ingredients and so on.. Once the biz is established I will offer up the recipes in the name of openness, and the biz may sink or swim in spite of this.

Hey Alison!
How's the project moving along?

Hi Alison. Sounds great!
I am wondering what kind of licensing you will choose for the recipes? Does creative commons make since for this kind of thing, or is there a different IP regime that is more appropriate? I am wondering if you could use a some rights reserved approach, so that you could still retain some right to your creativity if you wanted to, and others would have to cite you or couldn't use the recipes commercially, but could make it for home use.
Or maybe you fully want to go for an open code approach.
According to one of our Creative Commons folks within P2PU, recipes are not protected by copyright, so I guess they are forever a shared intellectual property. How about this, when the biz gets big I will publish a hot sauce cookbook and make it FREE!
You're right about the recipes not being covered by copyright, but I think you should do it anyway, like the Free Beer guys: (http://www.freebeer.org/blog/)
In a way, I think it's more an indicator of principle than a real statement of ownership (sharership?)
Besides, the licence logos look so nice on a label...
