[pd-discuss] Introducing myself and Public Domain Calculators

Mon Dec 14 14:42:36 UTC 2009

Hi Maarten,

Good to hear from you. We (the Open Knowledge Foundation) also have
some existing (python!) code for calculators as part of the
http://publicdomainworks.net/ codebase:

<http://knowledgeforge.net/pdw/hg/file/tip/pdw/pd.py>

It would be great to collaborate here if we can :)

> whether works are in the public domain given a certain country to calculate
> from.
> I've seen the archives and the separate coding projects on this list. All
> look very promising!
> I've also developed a rudimentary python calculator based on the work done
> on http://wiki.okfn.org/PublicDomainCalculators specifically the dutch
> flowchart.
> This produced insights into how to develop a tool that could easily
> translate flowcharts into an extension of a basic calculator.
> I look forward of seeing all your interesting work and questions.
