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.Rebecca On Jun 24, 2007, at

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

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?

As
far as we could tell, based on postings to this
list,
1)
we've two legal scholarsMs.
Yahong Li (HKU) and
Rebecca

2)

As

both

plan to contact those candidates?

this
:)

Yahong Li and Prof. Matthew Yuen
There
is a chance that both Catharina and myself will
