Dear all,

We are still looking for some European candidates to collaborate on the Science Toolkit Project. It seems cool, and a good opportunity to create something with your CC Group, and even with affiliates from other countries.
If you are interested, ping me and Billy asap, so that we can set something up!

Best
Gwen

Dear Affiliates-


This is Billy, from the Education team at Creative Commons HQ.  Hello to those of you that I’ve already met, and “hi!” to those of you that I have not yet. We’re working on a neat project for the community to get involved in, so please give this a look.


We’re launching the second stage of the CC Toolkits Project, and are now seeking volunteer experts to help craft toolkits about the importance of CC in:


  • Education

  • Science / Data

  • Government

  • Creative Industries

  • Culture

  • + more


What are the toolkits? The toolkits are bundles of digital and print-ready content (narratives, faqs, videos, presentation slides) that will help make it easy to tell others about the importance of Creative Commons and the CC licenses. We have put together a template for the toolkits, which will make it easy to create and share the materials. What we need from you in the content.


These toolkits are going to be one of CC’s most high profile projects for 2014. They will be seen by many people, translated into multiple languages, and shared throughout our community.  Come take part!


How can you be involved?  There are three ways you can get involved:


1) Volunteer to help build a toolkit - If you’re interested in CC and education, science, government etc, this will be an opportunity for you to meet other affiliates working on your topic. Importantly, those helping on toolkits will also have travel and event funding to support their work (see below). You can express your interest in the toolkit working groups by filling out the CC Toolkits Volunteering form.


2) Run a hackathon or workshop - We have set aside funding (up to $2500US per working group) to help people to organize and run a:

  • Sprint to build a toolkit!  Run a content hackathon to find content and build a toolkit; or

  • Workshop to present a toolkit!  Share a toolkit through a presentation or other showcase opportunity.


Is there a conference or summit that you want to attend?  Go run a sprint or present your group’s toolkit there!  Funding can cover costs for things such as travel, materials, and entrance fees for events.  Proposals must be for a toolkit on a specific topic and include a project lead who will coordinate the event. More information on what is involved is on the CC Toolkits Proposal Form (call for leads).


3) Suggest a resource for a toolkit - Do you know of a short video that can explain what CC is to your friends? How about that great FAQ pamphlet that was handed out at a conference you went to?  We’re collecting these and other resources on the CC Wiki Documentation page.


When are we doing this?  Volunteers and event proposals will be accepted now through November 15th.  Groups (5-7 members) who are chosen to run an event will be required to submit a complete draft of the content for their toolkit by the end of January, 2014.    For more information, see cctoolkits.com/timeline.


Please pass this on to other friends in the CC Community - the more people we get working on the toolkits, the better they’ll be!


Thanks!
