Happy New Year friends! 🎉

The community hit the ground running this year! Many of you worked through the holidays on the Summit Program and Scholarship Committee's (thank you!). Started off the week helping friends in Thailand set up their Chapter, working with the "CC Pakistan Forum" to align their activities and strategy to the CC Global Networks' goals and providing some guidance to friends in CC Bulgaria!

So much going on and if this is any indicator, 2018 will be an awesome year for the Creative Commons Global Network!

In this update, I'll focus on the upcoming 2018 Summit.

If you haven't submitted your application for sponsorship to attend the Summit, please do so before the Sunday, January 7, 2018 deadline. The online application form can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8RezoQIiPzMlb5X2FlqxLvr0-D9XQAqvhf5Ecv7lZ83JqnQ/viewform. Feel free to share this link with others who may be interested in attending.

The Summit Program Committee has opened the Call for Proposals with a submission deadline of 23rd January 2018. One of the goals for this years summit is to "Understand the CC community and the new CC Network structure" and this is complemented by a "CC Global Network" track.

I intend to submit a few sessions but rather than lead them on my own, I'd love to collaborate with some of you to submit sessions for the CC Global Network Track. If you have any session ideas you'd like to collaborate on, please let me know. To start, I'd love some help on a "CC Newbie Breakfast" session.

I'll highlight session ideas here next week after collating what you'll send me this week. I look forward to receiving your ideas and offers for collaboration.

Til' next Friday y'all!

Kind Regards,

Simeon Oriko
