Thanks for the poke. We all kind of fell in a hole after finding out
we had to do the SoP redraft, I think. But we just have to keep
plugging away... one step at a time...!

I thought the idea of a July AGM was not in favour? Because in future
years they would like the AGM to be August-September to have enough
time to prepare the financial report?


Yesterday I attended a one-day conference in Brisbane organsied by
Creative Commons Australia, "Building an Australasian Commons".

I will write a more detailed account tonight or tomorrow, but it was
excellent - lots of really interesting initiatives going on, many I
had no idea about. CCau is doing some seriously excellent work in
quiet 'open access' style advocacy with government and institutions.
I talked to a couple of people from the Powerhouse Museum about their
participation in Flickr's 'The Commons' project, which was  pretty
cool.

cheers,
Brianna
