Brian,
We have a project, "Copyright law reform, and promoting the creative commons initiative in Uganda" being implemented by NABOTU, Centre for Health Human Rights and Development and the Consortium of Uganda University Libraries. We have so far held one workshop for university librarians which focused on ideas for reforming the copyright law. Librarians were also introduced to the creative commons initiative. We have also held lobby meetings with relevant authorities. This week, we made a presentation on the same at the Uganda Vice-Chancellors Forum. The vice-chancellors forum resolved to include the issues of copyright reform and adoption of CC in their institutional IP policies. So there's some movement in this direction.

think that's an interesting idea. Am sure right now, you can easily get
an interest group in Broadcasting and Multi-Media because Uganda is
grappling with Copyrights - especially in the Arts and Media. Being able
to have an alternative, for the local Ugandan artist and/or teacher to
know that their is a non-expensive way to protect their IP while sharing
appropriately, within their desired realm is a good idea.
I would certainly run this idea by our University Librarian, and see what she thinks. But
certainly, "loosely" congregated interest groups that can help to form
value propositions, should create an interesting bottom-up frenzy of CC
users and enthusiasts.
