ItalianoCreative Commons music in the $100 laptop : Jamendo partners with One Laptop per Child
Jamendo, the quickly-growing free music community, is delighted to announce a partnership with the One Laptop per Child association (OLPC) to bring a selection of Creative Commons music to their $100 laptops.
OLPC, which relies exclusively on free software and free content in the laptop, will be able to add several collections of children-targeted free music from Jamendo to the OLPC library. Samuel Klein, the content director of OLPC, said “This is some fantastic jamming; now free music lovers everywhere can share their favorite playlists with our schools.”
Jamendo has always been about making people from different countries discover each other’s music. Sylvain Zimmer from Jamendo said : “It makes a lot of sense for us to help OLPC because their laptop is an excellent way to extend the music sharing values we defend to the developing countries and to children in particular.”
Jamendo is making it possible for everyone to submit a playlist for inclusion in the laptops. Each member of the community can create one or more special playlists for this occasion.
The playlists should have less than 20 minutes of music, contain only tracks appropriate for children and licensed under the Creative Commons BY or BY-SA licenses. To label a playlist for the OLPC, add “OLPC” before its name. For instance : OLPC music from Kenya.
Jamendo hopes to multiply partnerships with such amazing partners as the OLPC association in the next few months.

I had not heard about Jamendo until 9 days ago.
I’m utterly impressed.
I had heard about OLPC but not in so much detail.
Over the weekend, I submitted an entry to the SPARC Open Access Forum about OLPC/Jamendo and sincerely hope that this will be accepted for dissemination.
Many congratulations Jamendo !!

Although I love this idea, I don’t like that you need to change your music to a different license. Would it not be easier to say that for this one purpose, the music could be used and not have to change the license universally?

At the moment many companies are bringing out netbooks that cost around £150.00 they would be great for africa. At least they can get on the net. I hope the idea catches on. nice blog

This is a fantastic news! Especially in this Christmas period, we all should do something to help all the ones who have less. A laptop is a great idea for students!

This is going to be the best research ever. Jamendo is doing a humongous job. We can’t step out the decision of the OLPC. I believe that children will love to access the world of music.

This is an excellent business proposal for OLPC because after this their market will increase permanently.

Students are always in need of help, and you are really generous to do this, wish there were more people taking care as you do. Very nice idea
