iCommons Switzerland

["Daniel Boos" <boos AT allmend.ch>]

Dear all

We would like to invite you to our event next Friday [1]. The event
takes place after a workshop of Communia [1]. Many project members of
Communia are also active for Creative Commons and they will join the
event. Therefore we expect to have some nice showcases and
discussions. Please spread the word about the event.

On Saturday we will have a meeting with different Creative Commons
Project Leads in Zurich. Please get in contact with us, if you would
like to support our efforts.

Best
Daniel

An ever increasing number of projects publish under Creative Commons

Creative Commons Switzerland invites you to a relaxed evening of talk,

are important and what possibilities they offer.
