Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Workshop on Creative Commons in Mumbai, India on June 18,
2011
hi,
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:
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 -

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
