About Mr. Chu's talk
Web 2.0 enables people from different countries, languages, and cultures to collaborate. Successful Web 2.0 media projects include Wikipedia (Encyclopedia) and Global Voices Online (Citizen journalism). For instance, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia written by millions of Internet users all over the world.

OOPS (Opensource Opencourse Prototype System), is another successful project under the Web 2.0 era. OOPS translates the vast library of resources from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) on-line Open Courseware into Chinese. From just two persons the foundation has now grown to 1,900 volunteers from 16 countries around the world.

Besides technology infrastructure, flexible copyright licenses such as Creative Commons are a key factor enabling such collaborative projects. Flexible licenses based on "Some Rights Reserved" free the creations of individual contributors from a "All Rights Reserved" copyright regime, so that works can be shared and mixed together without any potential copyright hassle.

Lucifer Chu is the founder of OOPS. He will talk about the trend of Web 2.0,  its implications, why Creative Commons is important and how he applied it to the OOPS project.

簡介
Web 2.0  使不同國家、語言、文化的人可以通力合作。其中,維基百科和Global Online Voices 就是Web 2.0媒體的成功例子。現時,有成千上萬的網絡用戶正在共同編寫維基百科。

「開放式課程計劃」(OOPS, Opensource Opencourse Prototype System)是另一個成功的web 2.0計劃。OOPS把麻省理工學院的MIT OpenCourseware 計劃中的教材大量翻譯成中文。計劃由兩名發起人擴展至現時來自全球16個國家的2300名義工協助翻譯。

除了科技外,具彈性的授權條款,好像Creative Commons 也是讓上述的合作性計劃成功的關鍵因素。「保留部份權利」原則的彈性條款能把創作者由「版權所有」的版權釋放出來,提供了自由創作的空間,因此合作者之間能無須擔心版權紛爭的情況下,自由分享和混合檔案。

朱學恆是OOPS的創辦人,在他到訪香港期間他會為我們分享Web2.0的發展趨勢、影響、Creative Commons 的重要性及在OOPS上應用的經驗。
