Dear all,

Many of you probably know that "ACIA: Asia and Commons
in the Information Age" workshop will be held in Taipei
on Jan 19-20, 2008. I wish to update you on the planning of
the workshop, and to seek your participation.

We now have a draft program:

> http://meeting.creativecommons.org.tw/ac:program

We still have free spots to speak. If you would like to
contribute a talk, please simply send me e-mail,
or register yourself on the wiki:

> http://meeting.creativecommons.org.tw/people

Note that the workshop is self-sponsored; participants
will have to arrange their own transportation to the
workshop venue. The attached is a two-page call-for-sponsorship
flier which you may find useful in circulating to possible funders.

The ACIA wiki will be updated with more information
(registration, accommodation, etc.) in a week or two.

However, I do wish to seek your feedback on two things:

1. We are thinking of doing an "Asia Commons Space" where
participants provide an image, a practice, or a story which
represents the idea of "commons" from one's own culture.
We will be very pleased to accept A1-sized poster
(with emphasis on illustration rather on text)
for display in the lounge. If possible, the participants
can also physically carry out some of these practices.

We can also make this into a competition, and award the best posters.

2. We are planning a concert at Jan 19 evening
from 9 pm to midnight. We already have a terrific line-up
(check out the program page!), but will like to ask you to
contribute to the concert as well. If you wish to
perform, please let me know.

Last but not the least, please consider participating
to the workshop, and please invite others to the workshop.
Please subscribe yourself and them to the AsiaCommoners mailing list at:

> http://www.dgroups.org/groups/AsiaCommoners/index.cfm?op=dsp_join

where more discussion about the workshop will be held.

best,
