The Sita Sings the Blues Distribution Project
Submitted by kfogel on
(NOTE: If you came here to help support Nina Paley's free distribution of Sita Sings the Blues with a donation toward her expenses in releasing her film, please see the donations section below.)
The Sita Distribution Project is a public demonstration of how an artist can flourish — economically and artistically — by letting her works circulate freely and making it easy for audiences to support the artist financially.
It's not about self-distribution, it's about audience-distribution: put the work out there, let people share it, give them the freedom to organize activities (both commercial and non-commercial) around it, and the artist will benefit, because audiences want to support artists. Our goal is a comprehensible, repeatable model that can be used by independent artists everywhere.
The test subject is artist Nina Paley (now our Artist-in-Residence), who released her award-winning, feature-length animated film Sita Sings the Blues to the world under a totally free license in early 2009. That's free as in "freedom": anyone can make copies, anyone can sell copies, anyone can hold a screening (for profit or otherwise), anyone can make related merchandise, no one needs to ask permission for anything.
Subtitles provided by audience members from around the world.
You can also watch the entire film on Vimeo, Channel 13, and download it from The Pirate Bay and other peer to peer communities.
The RecipeThis distribution model puts the artist squarely on the audience's side: instead of telling people they shouldn't share, the artist encourages them to share. But the key is to do more than just put the work out there and hope for the best. You have to set up infrastructure that makes the artist the focal point for economic activity around the work — not the exclusive owner of all economic activity, just the focal point. Instead of imposing a monopoly on the work itself (which pits artist against audience), let the work flow freely and take advantage of the one natural monopoly that comes from being the artist: attribution, that is, credit for having made the work. Audiences appreciate proper attribution, and will enforce it, because they want to be on the artist's side. Nina explains this all step by step in her piece, "How To Free Your Work".
The Results So Far
So far, Nina has made more money by this method than any traditional (i.e., exclusive) distributor was offering before the film's release. Since releasing it for free distribution in February of 2009, she's received approximately $28,000 in donations and another $25,000 in sales of DVDs and other film-related merchandise from the online store. (Note that the donations are dedicated to paying back music licensing fees she had to pay to be able to release the film at all; there's more on that here.) The average donation is a bit over $10 US (but that's not counting the rare outliers, the occasional donations of $500 or $1000 -- if you include those, the average donation is around $30).
Best of all, her income stream is fairly steady. This is the opposite of the traditional "burst and fade" distribution model that so many works endure, dragged out of circulation prematurely to avoid competing with new releases from the same publisher. Because Nina's film is audience-distributed, it's in circulation forever, whenever and wherever people want to see it. And all those audience members are potential customers and donors, as the financial results bear out.
Raw data: While we have to protect the privacy of donors and customers at the online store, we can release summary data and anonymized data. Please see the donations summary, store sales summary, and the store sales details. We're sharing this data in order to give other independent artists some concrete numbers about what a freedom-based distribution model can bring.Further resources:
Nina Paley's preliminary report from five months after the free release of her film, including the talk she gave at DIY in Philadelphia.
See also The More She Shared, The More She Made by Mike Masnick at TechDirt, for a good writeup of the talk.
Getting Out Of Copyright Jail
Because Sita Sings the Blues uses some music from the 1920s that's still under copyright, Nina Paley had to pay a lot of money — approximately US $50,000.00 plus another $20,000 in transaction costs — to get it out of copyright jail (she talks about it in this interview.)
QuestionCopyright.org is helping her — and you can help too. We want to see this distribution project succeed, as an example of how letting go of monopoly control can benefit everyone (including the artist), so we're using donations to this project to help pay back that loan, in a fiscal sponsorship arrangement with Nina Paley.
That means you can donate to help with the costs of getting "Sita Sings the Blues" out of copyright jail (see below), and your donation will be 100% tax-deductible in the U.S. to the extent permitted by law.
The response so far has been tremendous, and gratifying to Nina as well. But we've still got a long way to go. If you liked "Sita Sings the Blues", and liked the fact that you can make copies for all your friends, please consider donating.
The "Sita Sings the Blues" copyright situation:
As Nina Paley told us in her interview here last November, in order to release Sita, the monopoly holders for some of the musical compositions used in the film have to be paid off (yes, even though the songs were written in the 1920s). The approximate cost of this is US $50,000 (plus another $20,000 in transaction costs, such as lawyers and a rights clearance house). Nina took out a loan to pay this up front; the funds we raise go toward paying off that loan and toward other expenses related to distribution. QuestionCopyright.org takes no percentage for operating expenses; all funds raised go directly to this project.
Yes, donating here is approved by Nina Paley.
You can donate to the Sita Distribution Project using our regular donations page. If you choose PayPal, remember to write "Sita Distribution Project" in the notes field ("Add special instructions to the seller") after logging in. If writing a check, make it out to "QuestionCopyright.org" and write "Sita Distribution Project" in the memo line. All directed donations to the Sita Distribution Project go to that project; they are not used for QuestionCopyright.org's general operating expenses.
"Sita Sing The Blues" has a lot of momentum right now. It's been extremely successful at screenings (you can hold a screening too, if you want), and the famous film critic Roger Ebert wrote a rave review of Sita. The time is right to show what happens when a film of that quality is released freely, in such a way that anyone can do any kind of screening anywhere. We're working with Nina Paley to use this as a platform for advocating copyright reform and freedom of information — and the bigger the audience, the more minds we can reach. Please help!

Well apparently the author of this article proved one thing. People who make free content don't get paid anything or else they would not need donations. Nobody works for free; get over it, copy right laws are here to stay. I suggest you people take a microeconomics class at your local community college and come back to reality. No real director is going to make a multi million dollar film through loans, and pay them back by donations. You want free movies, watch youtube.
Have fun paying off your 50,000 dollar loan Nina Paley. I doubt you'll get many donations from people that feel they are entitled to everything.

Uh-oh. The voice of unreasonable Reason(TM) strikes again. What obviously hard-won micro-economical wi$edom. We're lucky you arrived just in time to save us from ourselves, Dad. It's almost as if something about the entire creative process troubles you at a cellular level - like, anyone who writes books, paints pictures or makes films are 'against' you and your artless little world of "Well That's-Just-How-It-Is, Buddy Boy" - when perhaps the inverse is true.
Maybe those who are against Everything, who spit upon the creative process and human collective dreaming, do so because the intrinsic beauty & truth behind all Art is like the sun; it's just not something anyone can control, regulate, copyright, commodify, spin, or bully others into believing is scarce. It's there for everybody..
"I doubt you'll get many donations from people that feel they are entitled to everything" - yeah, and you'll probably get even less than that from those who feel they're automatically entitled to open their mouths and demand everyone else agree with the hollow & aggressive unexamined cultural presumptions of a toxic society based on "F'ing one another over for a goddamn percentage."
There's a better way for all - and artists are at its leading edge. Now that really is something you don't have to 'get over' - because they're already doing it and they're to stay..
Good luck w/ your project Nina!

Your comment begs the question: do consumers WANT multimillion dollar films?
some of my favorite movies were done on relatively small budgets.
and anyways -- she's not getting paid -- the whole reason shes taking donations is because the ridiculous copyright laws forced her to pay to use old songs.

I have to agree, some of the best movies AND music are low budget. You just have to know how to find them. Too many people don't search for there art or music and they end up with what's given to them.

>> People who make free content don't get paid anything or else they would not need donations.
Though not exactly the same thing, a very similar model exists with computer software. Check around and see how many people get paid to use, extend, and contribute open source software. A great many do.
[Open source software is software not only given away for $0 (in most cases) but the entire blueprints are also given for $0 so that anyone can modify them to get a new piece of similar software. Of course, some people compile selections of this software and sell it on DVDs or CDs under their own brand.]
A major difference here might be that Nina is currently essentially the only artist for Sita Sings the Blues. Most open source software projects of any signicant size have a small number of main authors (sometimes only one), but many projects eventually grow to encompass many.
Another difference is that Nina probably considers Sita to be done. This is true for some software, but software that replaces that functionality essentially replaces the original. Most open source software is almost always considered to be in a state of growth (because people want to add features or fix parts of it).
Meanwhile, whether simple or complex, people tend to savor existing works they liked. However, in time SStB might morph enough times or there might be variations that even Nina might prefer ( ;-) ).
SStB (R) will eventually involve a large collection of stories and retellings. One work might even focus on the events of Sita's 100th day of marriage, etc. Lot's of new stories very divergent from the original tales might come into being. .. new characters. Look, we need Mickey and Co to be replaced since they are not free. We'll get Sita shorts.
>> Nobody works for free;
Don't look inside the Guinness Book of World Records. Stay away from the tube during the upcoming Summer Olympics. You are bound to be insulted by what many amateurs get away with doing in public.
People play for free.
Nina might get a gig adapting characters or scenes from SStB for commercials for some business or other. She might call that work. She would get paid.
>> No real director is going to make a multi million dollar film through loans, and pay them back by donations.
Using the open source software model, we can see that very sophisticated software can get created over time my many cooperating.
For films and similar works, we would have designers in one part of the world, script writers in another, and many more serving to film, model, etc.
We'd have many variations. Some would be a bit like Frankenstein if standards weren't set and followed, but there would be lots of interesting variations nevertheless.
Sophisticated movies tend to use a significant amount of computer processing. The trend is towards computer aided effects over more and more actors or expensive materials, but open production can accomodate all styles. When broken up into pieces, not that many people need to have expensive equipment, for example. Lots of people would participate to be "extras". We would even find actors around the world (perhaps with some makeup and other aids) that would look very similar to each other and could create different scenes of the same characters.
And what business would not contribute cash towards producing a few scenes if they were filmed near the business location and they would get credits they could leverage?
Yeah, people will never pay anyone real money to help them huck their wares.
>> Have fun paying off your 50,000 dollar loan Nina Paley. I doubt you'll get many donations
A modest contribution to society, honesty with fans, and an attractive and promoting website will get modest expenses out of the way for any artist (once enough eyeballs pass by). There are billions of people out there. 1 hundredth of 1 percent of 1 billion is 100 thousand. At 1 buck a piece, that is $100K. [.01% is very small and is as unrealistic as the 1 billion viewers.]
And Nina can later do talks and workshops and many other things to engage with other artists and admirers who would pay for a good day out.
Don't forget the commercials and custom animations.. oh, and the merchandize.
Nina having gotten in early will obviously present some special opportunities in time. Then again, she will have to experiment more than most will as best practices get established.
Read Nina' website and you'll see that endorsements have power. See eg http://blog.ninapaley.com/2009/12/07/i-2/

Maybe it's a bit late to reply to this thread, but I've only just found the site ... so;
All ideas `belong` to everyone, individually, collectively, and totally. Copyright and other intellectual property protections restrict the development of ideas, and even the development of the `original` creator. Such protections exist only for commercial purposes - and those commercial purposes are warped and, in human, societal, and environmental terms, actually damaging.
Every idea any, and every, one of us has is as a result of the stimulus provided by our exposure to the environment and the culture in which we exist; they are the result of all the other ideas `of and from others` which have been put into us (however, we might then have processed such information). As each new rung of the ladder is added to by a new and `novel` idea it is dependent upon all the rungs that preceded it ... and even stepping sideways into a `new` paradigm is dependent upon all that constituted the paradigm that was stepped across from.
So, I have and idea, I create a `work`, emergent from all that I have assimilated - from the world, and thus too others - but to then take the stance of don`t you dare `infringe` on `my` unique, personal and `independent` work ... does not really hold up to truly objective scrutiny. It only holds up under a perverse and restrictive commercial perspective.
A good few are waking up to this notion now - realising that the completely free-flow, unrestricted and non-commercial distribution of all, `all`, knowledge and of all contributions to existence is fundamental to genuine growth and development (of the race, the species, of comprehension, and even of evolution - not the insane and destructive growth of economics and commerce).
Here is just one example of a genuine copyright notice that exists in a real work:
"All texts and images plagiarized and rearranged by collective process. Anything composed in any language is obviously the handiwork of the millions who developed the words and ideas that constitute it, not just the experts listed in the credits. Please reproduce, translate, and adjust this and all books at will, with or without citing sources." [Crimethinc `Expect Resistance - a field manual`].
To add a final irony to the rule-obsessed, conventionally programmed, jobs-worths - people are also waking up the grand illusion of money itself and how that is a core component in misdirection, confusion and control; economics is not, in any of its guises, a science - it is larely an apologetic for some political or vested interest stance that is intentioned on priviledge and control (this is in part evinced by the fact that there is no actual Nobel prize for economics ... the so-called prize is actually 'awarded' by the banks, via the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, and not by communities grateful for the egalitarian improvement in social conditions that some economic theory has provided - even the Nobel family criticise the existence of this 'award'!).
There are 'gifting' communities growing up all over the World, both as distinct communities and as 'tacit' aspects of 'conventional' towns and cities; that is people who do for others not on the basis of 'Local Exchange Trading (LETS)' or 'Skill Swaps' or any form of obligation, accounted, or contractual arrangement, but purely on the basis of 'if I do something for or give something to you, maybe you'll do something for or give something to me or another'; and it works!
Personally, I now exist almost totally free of the need to use money for anything other than the pressured aspects of 'the system', certain services, and for entertainment - yet live a technologically supported lifestyle far in excess of many of those who - while confronted with the reality - tell me it can not be done!? (By way of e.g.: home bio-diesel, green and free fuel - thermal solar, a few old pipes and off-cuts, green and free heat - extrapolate across food, power, water and anyone with any wit can see how needs can be met with a tad of ingenuity and in coordination and cooperation with those of like mind). Thus with the reduction in costs and the availability of cooperation my 'disposable monies' make me appear to be extremely well-off.
The consequent reduction in my 'need' for money allowed me to do more for others simply because I wanted to and could ... this it turned out was a positive feedback loop; doing things for others without pressure or obligation gave them more latitude and, however long or short the chain of connections, people just started doing for me. It's so simple and so effective that it seems to defy all comprehension by those obsessed with 'return', 'profit' or 'value', or anyone who either regards themselves as more deserving than others or who is unable to accept that diversity is actually resource and that alternative and non-conformist views are in fact vital for a healthy gene and meme pool.
If the 'common (wo)man' can continue to communicate across the globe with his/her fellows then the political, corporate, and financial illusions will eventually find it impossible to sustain themselves and, hopefully, one day none of us will need to know about the nonsense of narcissistic or megalomaniac leaders, rules of control or ever consider the concept of money, cash or payment.
But for now - Cheque en route Nina!

"copying is absolutely the best way to flatter someone"
Couldn't agree more. In fact the whole concept of copyright is kind of weird. Just to think what would have happened if copyright/patents were present when major inventions were made. What would have happened if say the wheel had been patented. Coming closer to our civilization, what would have happened if insulated walls or flushing toilets were to be given exclusive rights to someone. This might sound ludicrous bordering on insane, but my core point is that the progress of the whole civilization depends on people copying other peoples smart/great/wonderful ideas. And, of course, copying is indeed the absolutely best form of flattery.

The caged image of Sita represented above more than signifies how something held in captivity would react when given freedom, it simply wouldn't know what to do or where to go, it would simply go wild.
Animals, Humans, Art, and the Internet all follow the same path, when the shackles are off, everything follows the same pattern - chaos!.
If there are no rules to follow there is nothing, if there are no rules to bend or break there is nothing, freedom comes at a price, and there is nobody on the planet that has anything of any value that will cover that price.

The "Results So Far" numbers are stale (i.e.: wrong)...
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The "Results So Far" numbers appear to be outdated enough that they're misleading, at this point: it says "Since releasing it for free distribution in February of 2009, she's received approximately $28,000 in donations and another $25,000 in sales", which was written 9 months ago!). Looking at the updated, broken-out records, it looks like the actual numbers should be about *twice* that for both figures: it looks like Nina's actually been taking in about $3,000 per month (consitently) just from questioncopyright.com sales; and dividing out the Fund-o-Meter gives 65.9% * $70,000 > $46,000.
$100,000+ over about 18 months is a *smashing success*--especially if the influx is still steady, and ESPECIALLY when the numbers here are not even counting speaking-engagement fees, new-work earnings following from the professional-reputation boost that unconfined distribution gives, or proceeds from other sales-venues or endorsement-contracts. The current text here is advertising *half* of that, though--which is a lot easier to say "piffle" to (e.g.: "$28k total donations, and only $15k/year in actual income? Piffle!"), and the math works out even worse with every passing month as the numbers get more stale.
So..., maybe you guys should fix that :^)

LinkTV broadcast this film Tuesday, Jan 18th- I happened, luckily to see it for the first time. Ms. Paley's creative achievements are tremendous; its transcultural references in themselves form new communities of thought and understanding among its viewers. Enchanting and technically brilliant. I felt resucitated as I watched, brought back with a beautiful crash to the idea of content creation as I initially understood it. I am a filmmaker, and after slogging through commercial feature and television productions for more than a decade, encountering Questioncopyright.org is a restorative experience, another way of approaching what often appears a difficult limitation on our imaginative output. So thank you for this tremendous resource for content creators.

A very nice car
By Fanbelt1 on Saturday, March 10, 2018I have had my car about a week and a half. I really like it, although I am used to a V-6 and there is a little less power. There is enough power to get on the road and the fuel economy is really awesome. I love the features from blind spot monitoring to Android Auto. The ride quality is excellent and the car has a somewhat sporty feel. For the money the Limited Trim is a good value.

Hyundai takes it up a notch again
By PA_Guy_2018 on Saturday, January 13, 2018This is my second Hyundai and the span of 5 years. The previous Sonata I owned was a great car, great value, and I was happy with its reliability, fuel economy, etc. Now that I have the 2018, all I keep asking myself is when did Hyundai get even better? l feel like I have switched car brands and this is a whole new adventure all over again. The beauty of the design stands out from other cars on the road It looks agressive and stylish. Excellent quality materials inside and out. I purchased this car with all the options (except for the Turbo engine). I have to say the technology in this car is hands down some of the best Ive seen or used in any brand. I have friends with high end cars just as new and the features of my Hyundai are envied by my friends with Acura and Audi vehicles. Sure, those vehicles accelerate a couple seconds faster than the Hyundai, but in the real world there are other cars all around and I have no trouble keeping up with other cars on the highway, back roads, city streets. Stop and go is always smooth and quiet. Ride in nice as well. Overall, this is a great car, excellent value, and just plain fun. I can use my Amazon Alexa to start, unlock, or lock my car. I can ask her to do anything Bluelink allows, which is great The app for mobile devices has lots of cool features and settings so you can get as many (or as few) notifications about the car and its performance. You can also start the car, set the temperature, lock and unlock doors, and more with the app. The tech in this car is great and easy to use. Bluelink is responsive and performs better than most other vehicles with infotainment systems and navigation. Did I mention the value? I cant get over the fact that my car has ALL (and more) features and options than another friends luxury brand car. He cant get over my in car wireless charging... something he cant get in his car yet. Knowing I spent almost 20,000 less and have a car with great features, excellent style, and better than boring performance. I think most reviewers test both the Turbo and the 4 cylinder. I chose not to go near the turbo, because I didnt want to spoil my impression of the 4 cylinder. I must say its not as bad as a lot of reviews make it sound. The car accelerates just fine when getting onto highways, passing, and your average rush hour stop and go and stop and dont go traffic. I dont mind spending time in my car and actually enjoy the upscale feeling the car has. Anyone who doesnt know car brands or styles is shocked to know my car is a Hyundai. Some days, Im just as shocked. But very happy with this car.

Boy, 8, suspended after game of cops and robbers
Jordon Bennett accused of threatening another student
A mother was upset Monday after her 8-year-old child was suspended from school.
Jordon Bennett, a third-grader at Harmony Community School, was suspended after being accused of simulating a gun with his hand.
Watch: Mother upset after boy suspended
According to the school's paperwork, the boy was suspended for TRL, which is making a threat to another student.
The child's mother, Bonnie Bennett, said Jordon was just playing a game of cops and robbers.
"Just like that, he had nothing in his hand, no toy, no stick, no pencil," Bonnie Bennett said. "He had nothing in his hand to even give the appearance of a real gun; it was his finger."
The school declined to comment on the specific evidence because of confidentiality.
However, Osceola County Schools released a statement regarding simulating a gun with a finger.
"It's not just a question of finger guns," a representative said. "The principal looks at the totality of the incident, what occurred before, during and after and whether the student felt threatened."
Despite the school's statement, Bonnie Bennett said she believes the principal went too far.
"He was playing a child's game, and I understand it's not appropriate to do that on school property, and I have spoken to him about that, but at the time, he just thought he was playing an innocent game with another child, and that's all it was," she said.

Join the HEADstrong Foundation, Great Atlantic and Brine in a relentless fight against cancer! 100% of all sales of this t-shirt will be donated to the HEADstrong foundation. 100% cotton. Imported.
About the HEADstrong Foundation:
Nicholas "Head" Colleluori played Division I lacrosse at Hofstra University. During his sophomore year, Nicholas began to experience allergy-like symptoms. Soon thereafter, he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a vicious type of blood cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Nick passed away on November 28, 2006 at the age of 21.
While sick, Nicholas was relentless in his efforts to combat his affliction. He counseled fellow patients, continued to workout on a regular basis, and he even played in one last game in August of 2006. Nick also created the HEADstrong Foundation. It was his vision to share his illness with the public, to raise cancer awareness and to help others affected by the disease.
Even though Nick is gone, his memory will live on forever through the HEADstrong Foundation. Our Mission is to help fund cancer research, distribute grants and assistance to survivors of blood cancer, provide financial assistance to families burdened with the expenses of cancer treatment, and to provide scholarships for future medical students.
Please join our effort to bring Nick's vision to reality by promoting cancer awareness, supporting research and helping eliminate this disease!

Notice that the only attribute specified for the properties is
[BsonRepresentation(BsonType.String)]. This way, the
Gender property of an
enum type will be saved as a string (
Male or
Add a new class,
namespace RetrogamesWeb.Data { using Entities; using MongoDB.Driver; public class MongoConnectionHandler<T> where T : IMongoEntity { public MongoCollection<T> MongoCollection { get; private set; } public MongoConnectionHandler() { const string connectionString = "mongodb://localhost"; //// Get a thread-safe client object by using a connection string var mongoClient = new MongoClient(connectionString); //// Get a reference to a server object from the Mongo client object var mongoServer = mongoClient.GetServer(); //// Get a reference to the "retrogamesweb" database object //// from the Mongo server object const string databaseName = "retrogamesweb"; var db = mongoServer.GetDatabase(databaseName); //// Get a reference to the collection object from the Mongo database object //// The collection name is the type converted to lowercase + "s" MongoCollection = db.GetCollection<T>(typeof(T).Name.ToLower() + "s"); } } }
MongoConnectionHandler<T> class defines constants for both the connection string and the MongoDB database. You can obviously save these strings in a configuration file and retrieve them from there. The constructor converts the type of
T to lowercase and adds an
"s" prefix to determine the collection name in a generic way and get the reference to the collection object.
Create the
Services folder and add a new interface,
IEntityService, within the new folder:
namespace RetrogamesWeb.Data.Services { using Entities; public interface IEntityService<T> where T: IMongoEntity { void Create(T entity); void Delete(string id); T GetById(string id); void Update(T entity); } }
Now, add the
EntityService abstract class (that implements the previously created
IEntityService interface), within the
Services folder:
namespace RetrogamesWeb.Data.Services { using MongoDB.Bson; using MongoDB.Driver; using MongoDB.Driver.Builders; using Entities; public abstract class EntityService<T> : IEntityService<T> where T : IMongoEntity { protected readonly MongoConnectionHandler<T> MongoConnectionHandler; public virtual void Create(T entity) { //// Save the entity with safe mode (WriteConcern.Acknowledged) var result = this.MongoConnectionHandler.MongoCollection.Save( entity, new MongoInsertOptions { WriteConcern = WriteConcern.Acknowledged }); if (!result.Ok) { //// Something went wrong } } public virtual void Delete(string id) { var result = this.MongoConnectionHandler.MongoCollection.Remove( Query<T>.EQ(e => e.Id, new ObjectId(id)), RemoveFlags.None, WriteConcern.Acknowledged); if (!result.Ok) { //// Something went wrong } } protected EntityService() { MongoConnectionHandler = new MongoConnectionHandler<T>(); } public virtual T GetById(string id) { var entityQuery = Query<T>.EQ(e => e.Id, new ObjectId(id)); return this.MongoConnectionHandler.MongoCollection.FindOne(entityQuery); } public abstract void Update(T entity); } }
EntityService<T> class provides the following virtual methods to generalize the common operations with entities that all the services will provide:
Create: Saves the entity with a safe mode by specifying the
WriteConcern.Acknowledgedvalue for the
WriteConcernproperty of the
MongoInsertOptionsinstance, then passing the instance as one of the parameters for the
Savemethod. When you specify this option, MongoDB will confirm the receipt of the save operation and it will be possible to catch exceptions related to data issues, such as a duplicate keys for unique indexes. If you don't specify the option and work with the
WriteConcern.Unacknowledgedvalue, the code will be able to catch only network-related errors because MongoDB won't confirm the receipt of the save operation. The same explanation applies to other write operations. In this case, the code includes an
ifblock that checks the results of the operation, but doesn't take any action based on the result (to keep the code easier to read).
Delete: Removes the document from the MongoDB collection. The code also uses the with a
WriteConcern.Acknowledgedoption for this operation.
GetById: Uses the
FindOnemethod to retrieve a document from the MongoDB collection that matches the specified
Id. The method receives the
Idas a string because the idea is to have code that is prepared for a clear separation between the data layer and the ViewModels.
ObjectIdshouldn't be a known type for the ViewModels.( In this example, it will be a known type just to avoid adding all the layers and keep it simple). The
GetByIdmethod generates some problems that are very common when working with embedded documents. I'll explain these problems later.
Update: The method must be coded in each implementation of the
EntityService<T>class because a generic update would cause problems for entities with embedded documents. In this case, I want to show the solution to the problem through the use of specific commands that generate an efficient update operation.
Add the
GameService class( that implements
EntityService<Game>), within the
Services folder:
namespace RetrogamesWeb.Data.Services { using System.Collections.Generic; using Entities; using MongoDB.Driver.Builders; public class GameService: EntityService<Game> { public IEnumerable<Game> GetGamesDetails(int limit, int skip) { var gamesCursor = this.MongoConnectionHandler.MongoCollection.FindAllAs<Game>() .SetSortOrder(SortBy<Game>.Descending(g => g.ReleaseDate)) .SetLimit(limit) .SetSkip(skip) .SetFields(Fields<Game>.Include(g => g.Id, g => g.Name, g => g.ReleaseDate)); return gamesCursor; } public override void Update(Game entity) { //// Not necessary for the example } } }
GameService class doesn't require the
Update method; therefore, it is empty. The class adds a
GetGamesDetails method that calls the
FindAllAs<Game> method to retrieve a limited number of documents from the MongoDB collection. The
SetLimit and
SetSkip methods limit the number of documents and specify the quantity to be skipped before returning the rest. Thus, both methods are very useful to paginate results. In this example, the Web application will just use this method to display the first 100 results, but you can easily implement a pager.

There are three basic strategies for funding projects, although several variations clearly exist. These strategies are:
- "Fixed price". At the beginning of the project develop, and then commit to, an initial estimate based on your up-front requirements and architecture modeling efforts. Hopefully this estimate is given as a range, studies have shown that up-front estimating techniques such as COCOMO II or function points are accurate within +/- 30% most of the time although my July 2009 State of the IT Union survey found that on average organizations are shooting for +/- 11% (their actuals come in at +/- 19% on average, but only after doing things such as dropping scope, changing the estimate, or changing the schedule). Fixed-price funding strategies are very risky in practice because they promote poor behavior on the part of development teams to overcome the risks foisted upon them as the result of this poor business decision. It is possible to do agile on a fixed budget but I really wouldn't recommend it (nor would I recommend it for traditional projects). If you're forced to take a fixed-price approach, and many teams are because the business hopes to reduce their financial risk via this approach not realizing that it actually increases their risk, then adopt strategies that reduce the risk.
- Stage gate. Estimate and then fund the project for given periods of time. For example, fund the project for a 3-month period then evaluate it's viability, providing funding for another period of time only to the extent that it makes sense. Note that stages don't have to be based on specific time periods, they could instead be based on goals such as to intiate the project, prove the architecture with working code, or to build a portion of the system. Disciplined agile methods such as Open Unified Process have built in stage-gate decision points which enable this sort of strategy. When the estimation technique is pragmatic, the best approaches are to have either the team itself provide an estimate for the next stage or to have an expert provide a good gut feel estimate (or better yet have the expert work with the team to develop the estimate). Complex approaches such as COCOMO II or SLIM are often little more than a process facade covering up the fact that software estimating is more of an art or a science, and prove to be costly and time consuming in practice.
- Time and materials (T&M). With this approach you pay as you go, requiring your management team to actually govern the project effectively. Many organizations believe a T&M strategy to be very risky, which it is when your IT governance strategy isn't very effective. An interesting variation, particularly in a situation where a service provider is doing the development, is an approach where a low rate is paid for their time which covers their basic costs, the cost of materials is paid out directly, and delivery bonuses are paid for working software. This spreads the risk between the customer/stakeholder and the service provider. The service provider has their costs covered but won't make a profit unless they consistently deliver quality software.
The point is that there are several strategies for funding agile software development projects, just like there are several strategies for funding traditional software development projects. My experience is that fixed-price funding strategies are incredibly poor practice which increases the risk of your software development projects dramatically. I recognize how hard it can be to change this desire on the part of our business stakeholders, but have also had success changing their minds. If you choose to perservere, which is a difficult decision to make, you can help your organization's decision makers to adopt more effective strategies. Like you they want to improve the effectiveness of your IT efforts.

John Cage (ex)plain(ed)
Schirmer Books, 1996 - 194 Seiten
Writer/composer/performer/painter/poet are just a few hats that the musician John Cage (1912-1992) wore through his long and productive life. For over five decades, he changed the shape of American art and culture by pushing the envelope of what could be called "art". Quietly, working at the edges of acceptability, often ridiculed and rarely performed at first, Cage grew to be the most influential of all American artists, influencing not only composers and fellow musicians like Philip Glass, but also performance artists such as Laurie Anderson and Yoko Ono and visual artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. This book presents Cage's life and works in all media, explaining the workings of one of our greatest creators.
-- Describes Cage's major works in all media, including musical works, theatrical pieces, radio works, visual arts, and poetry and prose
-- Draws extensively on interviews with Cage conducted by the author and not previously published
