Hi everybody. What are the chances we can meet on July 30th or 31st? I need to be in Taipei by late evening on the 31st in order to make the Wikimedia advisory board meeting, which starts on the morning of Aug. 1st. But I am otherwise very flexible about timing on the 30th and 31st.

Thanks.

Hello everybody. Just thought I would revive this thread. Shall we
organize a meeting for July or August?
Rebecca

Hi all, the best time for me is going to be late July, early august. I
have to be back in SF pretty quick after wikimania.

Is during the week okay? I'm also quite interested in meeting with
businesses who are interested in using CC licensing. I would like to
spend 1-2 days in Hong Kong to get CC-HK setup and then also setup some
high level business meetings to present CC to public and privately to
key businesses.

What dates seem the best? July 30, 31, August 1, 2 all are open, but I
have to be in Tapei for wikimania AUG 2-5.

Cheers! Would it make sense to have one legal meetup to get the legal
team squared away? And then, have a wider public meetup?

Dear Matthew and Jon,


Perhaps early August is better as Jon can join then.  Can Jon
confirm a date when he is in HK?


Best, Yahong

Dear Jon,


The important person is Yahong. I would like to pin down her diary
first. I would be
flexible to accomodate.


Dear Yahong,


Shall we go by July 15 as per suggested?


Regards,


Matthew

As far as we could tell, based on postings to this
list,

1) we've two legal scholars  Ms. Yahong Li (HKU) and

So Uta ...  several potential candidates and
