It's been an active week in CC in Australia - here are some of the news stories from the CCau website:

 

Senator Kate Lundy is hosting the 2nd of her Public Sphere forums: Government 2.0: Policy and Practice, a forum on “how creating an even more participatory form of government in Australia will improve the effectiveness of public administration, enable communities to better help themselves, promote renewed engagement in the democratic process and enhance our capacity to respond to emerging complex social, geopolitical and environmental challenges”. Speakers include CCau's own Brian Fitzgerald. - http://creativecommons.org.au/node/248

 

Aged Care Queensland has launched their new eMentoring Handbook CD Rom under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Australia licence. This means the material on the CD Rom can be redistributed, remixed and repurposed, providing far greater value to the community it is seeking to service. The licensing initiative is primarily due to prominent New Zealander CC advocate and Aged Care Queensland’s eMentoring Project Officer, Sarah Stewart - you can find her musings on the whole licensing process on her blog. http://creativecommons.org.au/node/247

 

Michela Ledwidge of the experimental production house, MOD Films, has been honoured with the Peter Rasmussen Innovation Award at this year’s Sydney Film Festival. Many in the CC community will know Michela from her CC-licensed film project, Sanctuary (pictured above), which was one of the first fully-remixable films launched internationally. For more information, see MOD Film’s press release. http://creativecommons.org.au/node/246
