Oh one more quick thing: I wonder if maybe we should change the first sentence of the e-flyer to:

" Creative Commons licenses are copyright licenses that let you share your work easily with other people all over the world - by making it "some rights reserved" instead of "All Rights Reserved."  "

I thought that putting it in slightly more conversational language would appeal to students. Using "you" makes it more directly personal so that people understand straight away that this is something they can use - it's not just a legal theory lecture. Also, the fact that the license enables you to share your work with others would probably gain greater emphasis if we put it earlier in the sentence.

I'm one of those journalists who like to hit people over the head with the first sentence when possible :)   However if anybody thinks that this wording is not so good please suggest alternatives.

Hi everybody! 

Jack I think your idea to discuss how migrant workers are using CC-China Mainland is excellent. Ben can you add Jack to the programme right after Charles? Jing Wang, great to meet you - if you would like us to briefly raise any other interesting examples of CC usage on the mainland please let us know.

I can make the brief introduction then act as moderator for the rest of the programme.

I agree with Chan Yau, it would be great if Ben could lead the workshop of how to use CC, etc. Ben do you mind adding your own name to the speakers?

It would be great to see as many community members there as possible - to contribute to the discussion and help educate the students about why they should use CC. Also, maybe we can have an informal lunch meetup for CC-HK project supporters in a nearby cafe after the workshop is over?

Sorry I missed the Macau outing. Sounds like it was great!

Cheers,
Rebecca

Dear Chan Yau，

If necessary, I can talk a few minutes and demonstrate how migrant
workers are using CC-China Mainland. That may help change the
perception that CC is very "advanced" and only for the most educated
.. Just a thought.

Dear Ben and All,

The Practical Workshop website is nice.
1.  Under Abstract: I suggest to ad:

3.  The variety of creative works available in the Creative Commons
including music, photos, educational materials, and others.

2.  Can we put some names to the demonstrations? Ben: Can u do that? If you
have no problem, then the leaflet can also announce it in the website After
Charles Mok. Also specfify it in the Wiki.
3.  Also add a note to say that registration is free.
Thanks.

BTW, should we videotape this workshop and put it online so that those who
can't join can also benefit from it?

Bests,
Ben

Hi all,

Thanks for Chan-yau's arrangement.
Alright, I could help that and would try to make a e-lealeft before
Friday.
