I blogged about theDigital Openin April, a new online community and competition that was accepting free and open technology projects from anyone 17 or younger through August. The competition was aimed at fostering an online and open community of youth by encouraging them to see the benefits of open source and open licensing.
Since then the jury has come in toannounceeight grand prize winners. The first video profile is theCentralized Student Websitefrom Fremont, California, by Raymond Zhong and Aatash Parikh. They’ve gone ahead and built a student portal for their high school, where virtually any school activity, especially student clubs, are accessed. Other winners include aCasa Ecologicain Spain and aHybrid Airship. Be sure tocheck backfor more videos.

How do people under the age of consent (is that the correct term here?) issue copyright licenses? (How to they legally play in the creative commons world?)
