List of materials selected by the LMEG

The LMEG has examined hundreds of documents on Free Software and Open Standards with the aim of providing the SELF Platform with an initial content of high quality, up-to-date materials. For each of those documents the team has checked the following:

  • Quality: poorly written, incomplete or badly structured materials have been discarded, although some of them could be used as a starting point for derived materials in the future.
  • License: all materials in the SELF Platform must comply with the Legal Policy defined by the Legal Expert Group . More precisely, materials must be published under one of the licenses found acceptable by the LEG.
  • Validity: materials on such a rapidly changing field as Free Software and Open Standards must be up-to-date to be of any use. Some exceptions can of course be made for historical reasons.

What follows is a selection of materials that will be atomised and imported in the SELF Platform by the members of the SELF Consortium. Feel free to post a comment or discuss the list in the LM mailing list.
