Hi All,

An updated version of the paragraphs are listed below. I am just
waiting for the outstanding image from Australia. I will get it to the
printer if there is no more input.

About this Booklet

This booklet is adapted from the “Asia and the Commons - Case Studies
2008” as an English promotional materials for CCHK. CCHK has taken
minimal effort in editing but the standing-on-the-shoulders-of-giants
effect allows us to produce this quality booklet. It is a
demonstration of the true spirit of Creative Commons in encouraging
reuse and remix of CC materials and the cooperative atmosphere among
CC local chapters. We intend to use this booklet to empower every
sector of Hong Kong’s knowledge industries to capitalise on the
successes of others, legally.

In total, 16 case studies are included in this booklet, of which none
comes from Hong Kong. This is largely due to the fact that the CCHK
was launched after the original booklet was produced by CC Australia.
This reminds us how much effort we need to put in to catch up with
other local chapters. If you would like to offer your help, please
come to our official web at http://hk.creativecommons.org/

This booklet is available for download from the Creative Commons Hong
Kong website, http://hk.creativecommons.org/resources/english-promotion/
The original Asia and the Commons Case Studies 2008 booklet is also
available for download from the Creative Commons Australia website,
http://creativecommons.org.au/asiaandthecommons

Thanks,

Haggen

>>>>>>
>>>>>> Hi all and Haggen,
>>>>>>
>>>>>> The Australian booklet is fine but as my view, the style maybe not be
>>>>>> very
>>>>>> attractive to me. Will Matthew re-design it and if it is possible or
>>>>>> allowable to do so coz it is come from Creative Commons Australian?
>>>>>> And, is
>>>>>> it a necessary to print a Australian booklet with 60 page full version?
>>>>>> I
>>>>>> mean, to the environment and I guess, I guess the booklet should give a
>>>>>> short and clear and the main idea to the audience about Creative
>>>>>> Commons and
>>>>>> the Case Studies and if they are really interested in it, they could
>>>>>> visit
>>>>>> CCHK website to download a full version and get more further
>>>>>> information.
>>>>>
>>>>> I have a discussion with Matthew just before and we will do some
>>>>> adjustment. I am also asking the Creative Commons Australia for the
>>>>> raw files. In terms of re-design, I am not sure if Matthew can afford
>>>>> the time. See if we can come to a compromise.
>>>>>
>>>>>> In addition,
>>>>>>
>>>>>> 1) How is the RTHK CC survey running? I mean the analysis of the
>>>>>> survey.
>>>>>> Still waiting the PR department to finish the questionnaire analysis?
>>>>>
>>>>> It is up to RTHK to tell us the update.
>>>>>
>>>>>> 2) How is the LS training for teachers mentioned before?
>>>>>
>>>>> I attended the "Liberal Studies Assessment and Media" event on 23th
>>>>> May (http://www.isoc-hk.org/media-literacy/web.html) and there was a
>>>>> good discussion on copyright. I also had the chance to introduce CC to
>>>>> the audience and they were also very interested. I am co-ordinating
>>>>> with one of the co-organiser, Hong Kong Media Education Resources
>>>>> Web, to see if we can organise another talk on copyright ASAP.
>>>>>
>>>>>> and media attention also.
>>>>>
>>>>> The original plan was to generate media attention so that there will
>>>>> be more positive result for the survey. When I talked to our inhouse
>>>>> media specialist, she pointed out that CC may not be an issue with
>>>>> urgency. The articles submitted may not be printed on time before the
>>>>> survey ended.
>>>>>
>>>>> On the other hand, I am building a media list so that we can be better
>>>>> prepared next time.
>>>>>
>>>>>> 3) And will there are any plan to organize a talk in secondary school
>>>>>> or
>>>>>> university to the students in the future?
>>>>>
>>>>> No yet. But I plan to deliver some of the booklets in person and hear
>>>>> from friends from different University on how we can better serve and
>>>>> support them.
>>>>>
>>>>>> 4) At last but not the least, as Oiwan mentioned, how is the volunteer
>>>>>> register system and legco monitor?
>>>>>
>>>>> Yes I did miss out on the volunteer register system. I will follow up.
>>>>>
>>>>> I plan to organise the legco watch after 64, as most who care about
