Hi All,

CC Australia has made the raw files for the booklet available for
reuse on their web site.
http://creativecommons.org.au/asiaandthecommons

I have some ideas on how to alter part of the booklet and I have
drafted an introduction for CCHK. Unfortunately, the admin office will
be involved in organising the "Conference on Digital Convergence at
The University of Hong Kong from June 12-13" and Matthew will be on
leave on Monday. I will let everyone know when the CCHK version is
ready.

Regards,

Haggen
