Week's Assignments
The are two parts for this week's assignment. First part is to develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
The second part is to prepare drafts of your summary slide and video clip and put them in your root directory.
Sharing my work
Project
I was wondering about the different type of licenses there are available, and it got a little complicated to choose one, as I am still in the process of developing my project.
I know there are a few things that need to get better, and also some new features that can be added (that I have in mind already) for this to be a really amazing device, and of course I'd love and I will keep working on it. Owing to this, I think other people contributing to this would be an excellent choice.
However, since I am designing a device that should be suitable for many different people related to art and music, it would be awesome that these people could obtain it even though they're not makers. That is why being able to produce it in the future, and have it available for anyone would be the main goal for it's functional success.

My license
The license I chose is an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA)
For the reasons I explained before I decided to go with this license, I am going to continue working on this project, however contribution from other creators may be nurturing for it, that's why I didn't choose ND. Also it is a project still in development it is better to let people try and, modify it, and giving feedback without commercial purposes, this is why I chose NC.
Finally as I am the owner it would be just fair to have all the derivatives shared under the same terms I shared mine.
