hi,<div><br></div><div>The Mumbai Wikimedia community will be hosting a Creative Commons workshop involving a talk by Shishir Kumar Jha followed by an interactive session. Shishir Jha is the Project Lead, Creative Commons (India project) and an Assistant Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) - more here: <a href="http://www.som.iitb.ac.in/~shishir/fac12.html">http://www.som.iitb.ac.in/~shishir/fac12.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>The need for this workshop was felt during Liam Wyatt&#39;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.</div>
