- Subject: [Cc-hk] CCHK Launch and Lecture update
- Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2008 17:02:49 +0800
Hello everyone,
First of all, I'd like you to join me in welcoming Haggen So, who has joined the JMSC as Project Coordinator for Creative Commons and Research Associate. Right now he is working hard to coordinate many launch-related logistics. After the launch, his job will consist of coordinating future CCHK activities and grant applications to promote CC and educate Hong Kong people about copyright, etc.; he will also work to develop a research agenda for the JMSC on subjects related to free culture - particularly in Asia and the Chinese-speaking world. If you have any ideas please suggest them to us.
Second, I'd just like to remind you to please mark your calendars for our two launch events: the October 24th lecture by CC founder Larry Lessig, and the Oct. 25th launch festival at the Hong Kong School of Creativity, at which Lessig, CC CEO Joi Ito, and a number of other luminaries will be speaking. Many educators and creative people from around Hong Kong will be there to demonstrate how CC licenses can be used in various contexts.
Below are the full details. Please forward to everybody you know who might be interested.
Best,
Rebecca
