Title: Common Ground

Hi all

 

For those who haven't heard, Flickr Commons, one of the most exciting free culture projects to emerge over the last year, is running its first international meetup this coming weekend.

 

Australian events - including curator talks, slideshows, and conversation - that we are aware of will be held at the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane (see invitation below) and the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney (http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/commonground/) - and their all free (as in beer and speech).

 

A celebration of free culture and a love of photography for all.
