Dear all,

for quite a while we have been pondering the idea to have a CC Europe Meeting in the South-East of our region and have made initial plans together with CC Greece to have the meeting attached to Commonsfest in May, a cross-community event around all things commons, held for the second time this year in Crete. We were thinking about a one-day meeting on the first day of Commonsfest, i.e. May 9th.

Some tentative topics are:
- OER (our policy project, input for a Nordic Meeting, prep for OKFest)
- Open Data
- CC for GLAM (in connection to an upcoming ELAG workshop)
- Ideas for a capacity building CC Summer School

Our plans were thus far held up by the fact that both the flexible budget for us Europe RCs for 2014 as well as some special project funds were only preliminary. This has changed now and we have a clarified budget, but it's unfortunately not a very big one and there's also a more specialized Nordic Meeting planned in June.

As May is fast approaching and airfares probably getting more expensive, we need you to indicate to us (on or offlist) until the end of the week ...

a) whether you would be interested in attending this meeting
b) whether you would need financial support to do so
c) what the airfares would be from your location

Accomodation on the ground would be around 60 € per night, organized by the Commonsfest team. If your home institution could possibly support you, please ask. In the end it's going to be the airfares that will decide how many people we can support to come to Crete.

Regional regards
John & Gwen
