 From the CCau website - Australia's largest public broadcaster, the
ABC, has launched a CC-friendly social media site. The ABC is a big deal in
Australia (our friends from across Asia are probably familiar with their
news services) - so we're very excited about this.

There's also been a great radio interview (
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/mediareport/stories/2008/2342255.htm) with
Executive Producer Sherre Delys where she discusses the decision to go with
CC licensing, how the system works, and the importance of collaboration in
the modern era. She also talks about Pool's intention to start releasing
material from the ABC archives for remix (we're helping them with this) - so
watch this space for more announcements.


Australia's iconic public broadcaster, the ABC <http://www.abc.net.au/>, has
just launched a new CC-friendly social media space,
Pool<http://www.pool.org.au/>,
designed to provide a "place for creative content makers to upload their
work, publish and collaborate."

Pool lets creators working in all mediums - from animation, to music, to
video, to text - share and broadcast their work to others. Like most
participatory media sites, users can create profiles, upload and download
material, and search tags for related material. But unlike other popular
sites, the focus at Pool is very clearly on quality and experimentation.

Most exciting from our end, Pool has been designed to be a completely open
project. The site (which has been developed using the open source content
management tool, Drupal <http://drupal.org/>) offers the full suite of
the Creative
Commons core licences <http://creativecommons.org/about/license/> (as well
as All Rights Reserved), and actively encourages those uploading material to
use the licences to "declare a relationship between your content and other
content".

As Pool's Executive Producer, Sherre Delys, puts it in this
interview<http://www.abc.net.au/rn/mediareport/stories/2008/2342255.htm>with
Radio National's The
Media Report <http://www.abc.net.au/rn/mediareport/>, the CC licensing means
that "POOL starts to be a place where you can connect with others, and so
for some that will take the form of online mentoring and skill-sharing; for
others it's a collaborative work space, they can download each other's work,
re-mix and re-use, and it also includes collaboration between ABC producers
and audiences, and I think that's really critical." And in a first for the
national broadcaster, Sherre also talks about Pool's intention to release
ABC archival footage for remix by it's audience, sometime in the near
future.

Pool's focus on sharing and remix means that a lot of great material is
going up under CC. Check out Red
Thread<http://www.pool.org.au/video/huni_bolliger/the_red_thread>,
Huni Bolliger <http://www.pool.org.au/users/huni_bolliger>'s moving
animation for her father who is suffering from dementia. Or the fabulous
series of bird call recordings uploaded for remixing by Jane
Ulman<http://www.pool.org.au/users/jane_ulman>.
Or the film theory essay,
Text: Transcendental Style and the Poetics of Tsai
Ming-liang<http://www.pool.org.au/text/tim_dodds/transcendental_style_and_the_poetics_of_tsai_ming_liang>by
Tim
Dodds <http://www.pool.org.au/users/tim_dodds>, which has been remixed into
a poem, Text: the moment of absurd transcendental
mundanity<http://www.pool.org.au/text/don_cameron/the_moment_of_absurd_transcendental_mundanity>by
Don
Cameron <http://www.pool.org.au/users/don_cameron>. The list goes on and on.
