Cc-hk mailing list

[Haggen So <haggenso AT gmail.com>]

Hi All,

To start small, I have start a Google Group called "IP News Watch Team".
http://groups.google.com.hk/group/ip-news-watch-team

Those who are interested in the "Legco Watch Team" and "News Watch
Team" please join in and we will separate the tasks later. A number of
individuals who are active in monitoring IP News has already joined
the group and I hope that you can join in too.

Regards,

Haggen

> As decided in the last community meeting, we need volunteers for the

>
> **Legco Watch Team**
> This is a team to monitor the government mainly through publications

> panels:
>
> Commerce and Industry
> http://www.legco.gov.hk/general/english/panels/yr08-12/ci.htm
>
> IT Technology and Broadcasting
> http://www.legco.gov.hk/general/english/panels/yr08-12/itb.htm
>
> Education
> http://www.legco.gov.hk/general/english/panels/yr08-12/ed.htm
>
> **News Watch Team**
> This is a team to monitor CC and IP related news. I suggest to monitor
> the following sources:
>
> International News e.g. Swedish Pirate Party headed to European Parliament
> http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/06/swedish-pirate-party-headed-to-european-parliament.ars
>
> Local News
>
> CC News - CCi, Mainland, Taiwan
>
> Question for the two teams above:
> 1. Is there any teams/online groups like this? If yes, should we join force?
> 2. Is Google Group a good tool? The current cc-hk list is hosted on
> ibiblio.org, which has poor support for Chinese characters and blocked
> by the GFW, unfortunately (probably due to hosting a few Tibet sites
> http://www.ibiblio.org/index.old/index.feb2003.html) On the other
> hand, from my previous experience with the CCHK music group, some
> non-google users have difficulties registering, unless they open gmail
> accounts.
>
> **Web Presence Team**
> Aim
> 1. Register Prominent CCHK Projects
> 2. Encourage the release of materials and promote good practices to
> maximize public adoption
>
> General Direction
> 1. Use International Hosting as mush as possible, e.g. ccmixter,
> archive.org, blip.tv, Flickr, Picasa
> 2. Use International Registries such as CC Case Studies to register
> the projects. The list of HK case studies can be embedded in the CCHK
> official site. Taking Germany as an example:

> Training will be given.
