Shishir Jha is the Project Lead, Creative Commons (India project) and an Assistant Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) - more here: http://www.som.iitb.ac.in/~shishir/fac12.html The need for this workshop was felt during Liam Wyatt's visit to India when we found ourselves explaining about Creative Commons to various Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM in wikispeak) before we could even get to the GLAM idea. Since Shishir was involved with Creative Commons and was in Mumbai we took the opportunity to invite him for the talk. In addition to the Wikimedia community, we will also be inviting members from the GLAM community so that they are also exposed to the idea of Creative Commons. You can sign up for the event here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Workshop/Mumbai_Workshop_1 You can revert to me if you have any questions/suggestions or leave a note on the talk page. warm regards,Pradeep MohandasMumbai Wikimedia Community _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
