Kia ora koutou

Matt, nau mai, haere mai ki te rōpu CC-NZ (I hope you are on the list
to receive this welcome ;) I don't envy you having to fill Jane's
shoes, she's been a tremendous champion for CC, OER and free culture
generally in Aotearoa, and no doubt she will continue to do great work
under the umbrella of DigitalNZ.

This email list was set up to help getting the CC license localisation
process underway, and has evolved into a community tool for
announcements, discussion and networking around CC, and sometimes
other free culture topics (OER, Open Access etc). Please feel free to
introduce yourself, and talk about what you plan to do as Project Lead
over the coming year. This will be a good chance for an open
discussion on the state of the project, and what we as the CC ANZ
community can do to help realise any good ideas that come up.

One thing I'd definitely like to see happen is the proposed upgrade of
the CreativeCommons.org.nz website, perhaps in time for a re-launch on
the next Culture Freedom Day. Many of us have been itching to see it
migrated to a free code platform, so its further development can be
more of an open source community process. I'm particularly keen to see
the forums made more user-friendly, as they are currently under-used,
and strewn with posts that looks like spam:
http://creativecommons.org.nz/forums

If funds are short, perhaps we could look for some web design students
who support free culture ideals and could donate some time?
Alternatively, we could look at a fundraising campaign on
PledgeMe.co.nz.

He mihi nui ki a koe
ki a koutou katoa

"There is tenderness only in the coarsest demand: that no-one should
go hungry any more. That children go hungry, that they will be cold
and starving, and uncared for this winter, right here in New York,
condemns every fine word said in favor of the current social order by
the sock puppets whose fine, well paid job it is to find excuses for
it."
- Theodor Adorno
