Hello All

Creative Commons (CC) is having its Global Summit in Toronto Canada this year - dates: 28-30 April. This year the Summit’s theme is Sharing and the Commons: What’s Next

For those of you who do not have formal CC groups or projects in your country it would be a good idea to get more involved in this great, friendly and exciting community that is part of the global open movement.

For those of you who don’t know, CC licenses are integral to helping people understand the licensing aspects of Wikipedia and its sister projects. Working in concert with CC community and using their tools to explain the licensing makes this aspect of our work much easier.

Here are the links to both registration and submission. The call for submissions closes on the 27 January. https://creativecommons.org/global- summit-2017/

warmest Isla
