Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand discussion

[Matt McGregor <Matt.McGregor AT royalsociety.org.nz>]

Hi all,

 

Just announced. Please circulate far and wide!

 

Creative Commons Nethui Meetup: Open Culture and Heritage.

 

TUESDAY 9 July 2012, 6pm-7.15pm at NetHui 2013, Room TBC, Wellington Town Hall

 

Across the world, museums, galleries, archives, libraries and broadcasters— from the Rijksmuseum in The Netherlands to ABC Australia—are using Creative Commons licences and clear ‘no known copyright’ statements to open their collections for greater public access and reuse.

 

What are some of the challenges in opening New Zealand’s publicly funded and publicly housed culture and heritage? And what developments can we expect in the years ahead?

 

Join us for a wide-ranging, open discussion on copyright and Creative Commons in the culture and heritage sector.

 

Speakers include:

 

·         Courtney Johnston, Director, Hutt City Museums

 

·         Mark Crookston, Digital Collection Strategy Leader, Alexander Turnbull Library

 

·         Victoria Leachman, Rights Advisor, Te Papa Tongarewa

 

·         Brenda Leeuwenberg, Digital Advisor, NZ On Air

 

All welcome! Nethui registration not required.

 

If you’re interested in coming along, RSVP Matt McGregor at admin AT creativecommons.org.nz
