Dear all,

It is with much excitement that CCau and the Creative Commons Clinic announces the release of the Asia and the Commons case studies booklet, prepared as part of the ACIA: International Workshop on Asia and the Commons in the Information Age, to be held in Taiwan later this week.  The project is also part of the iCommons Local Context, Global Commons initiative.

The booklet showcases individuals and organisations working in the commons in the Asia-Pacific region.  The material gathered to date represents activities across nine countries, broader regions such as the Arab nations, and global efforts towards sustainability and social justice, revealing creative ways of participating in the commons. Featured are remix artists, performers, open-source software programmers, filmmakers, collecting institutions and publishing houses focused on democracy and change, who demonstrate a diverse set of motivations to engage with the shared ideals of openness and community collaboration.

We hope that you enjoy reading these vignettes, and are inspired to contact the individuals and organisations involved. This booklet will contribute to a larger selection of case studies to be presented at iSummit '08.  Please contact us at info AT creativecommons.org.au if you are keen to contribute content about your own activities.

Bountiful thanks go to all contributors and participants in these projects for helping to make the commons a flourishing cultural movement.  In particular, many thanks to Tyng-Ruey Chuang and Shunling Chen for their organisation of the event.

The booklet can be downloaded here:

A print-ready version is also available with bleeds at this address.

Happy reading!
