Unveiling the Totem

/in , ,

The Athens Protocol

On the 13th, 14th and 15th of October Stone Soup will be holding “The Athens Protocol”, an exclusive hands on presentation of the “Totem” framework. Totem serves as the universal language between all types of media, and is designed to help Developers and Rights-Users to deal with all the hurdles of Copyrighting and licensing.

OCL and the core development team of Totem, aims to bring developers, rights owners and artists together to hack on, demonstrate ways you can make use of Totem and get your cumulated feedback on the framework.

We will be handing out Prizes for your feedback and demos.

So what’s in the framework for you?

Want to build an app with copyrighted content without hassles, while not having to worry about licenses, accounting, reporting and securing permissions? Want to do it by only using a robust, light framework? One that also handles sourcing, identification, reporting, and in addition automates licensing for your users of any creative asset or combination of assets (music, video, text, images)?

Got some media content and want to accelerate, trace, and monetise any peer-to-peer transaction you could think of, without advertising, without personal data?

Reserve a ticket and learn how to:

  • Gain access to licensed media for your apps
    A weekend for you to dive into the technology and explore it. You will get the documentation and talk to people that deal with Copyright. Bring along your Mac, and experiment with the framework.
  • Monetise by identifying
    If you are a rights owner or artist, bring your knowledge on Copyright use and learn all about the technology that will help you monetise your work, and make it available to anyone in the world.

The conference will try to answer questions like:

Which of data-based technologies will shape the future of business?

How does GDPR-regulatory compliance lead to better insights?

Is it better a new role in the business data ecosystem or a new work culture?

Stek.io uses three tools: Ghost, Discourse and Hackpad. Ghost is a blogging platform that helps you record your news. Discourse is a forum that enables the creation of new communities. And Hackpad is a tool to capture, organize and share knowledge in order to collaborate with other people and work together. These tools are only the start. There will be more tools coming very soon as the main purpose of this project is to become an one-stop open source shop.

              

With Stek.io, you pay for ease of use, privacy, and security.The usage of the website is very easy. You only need to create an account, providing your email and a password, and you have access to each tool. Then you click on the tool that you want and you can either start a free trial or buy it from 15 euros per month.

The 3 creators of Stek.io have diverse and very interesting backgrounds.  They are Erwin Blom (VPRO, Fast Moving Targets), Mark Pors and Dimi Balaouras (both former in WatchMouse).

Here is a little bit info about them:

Erwin Blom is a journalist, media specialist and entrepreneur and he loves open source because of the fact that he was responsible for making content management system MMBase open source in 2000, at the public broadcasting organisation VPRO in Netherland.

Dimi Balaouras is versatile and passionate full-stack Software Architect. He continues to have a strong interest and be active in all aspects of Software Development. But the most important thing for him is that he enjoys working with Dev Teams.
