Hi everybody!! I just want to echo everybody's sentiments, it was a great
start and I hope we can do a lot more events. I agree about the need for
community outreach in Cantonese. Daisy and Jack have some great ideas about
the need to create localized materials. Perhaps we can form a team to start
drafting these things on the wiki? Perhaps we can also use the wiki to start
putting together ideas for more outreach activities - where they should be
held, with whom, how to structure them, etc.
Charles is also right to raise his concern about the sequence of "product
development" and "marketing." Right now, our legal team is finalizing a
draft of the licenses. As soon as it is ready they will share it with the
community for comment and discussion. As most of you will find
unsurprising, Hong Kong copyright law is especially problematic (much more
so than British law) so there are definitely some questions that will need
to be sorted out before the licenses can be finalized. Anyway, hopefully
there will be a draft for community review by the end of the year and we
will be able to have a discussion about what the hurdles might be before
everything can be finished. But I'm optimistic that we ought to be able to
launch by next summer if all goes well.
Once the licenses have been localized under Hong Kong law and once both the
Hong Kong community AND Creative Commons International have given their
blessing and approval to the licenses, we will be able to create an official
Creative Commons Hong Kong website and a more official CC-HK organization.
We will need to start thinking about whether we need to do fundraising to
support various promotional activities, what we want to do for the launch
event, and what kinds of activities we should organize before, during, and
after the launch event.
Lots to do, but all very exciting. I think the event on Saturday proved just
how much good we can do here in Hong Kong to promote free culture.
Cheers,
Rebecca
