Hello Aminou,

I believe you mean on the CC website? Nonetheless, HQ recently made a major administrative move by appointing on-the-ground Tobias and I as Regional Coordinators for Africa. We are putting final touches on our Africa-wide strategy document which will guide our interventions for the next year or so.

Web-wise, among our thoughts include possibility of a African-wide websites possibly with a map, where all country teams showcase their successes, activities etc..

But as we await, there‘s absolutely no reason stopping any/all teams and affilliates from posting, for example, their planned Creative Commons 10th birthday parties:-)

We might have a great party in Kenya( here speaking “locally“)

If there are African CC initiatives anyone wishes be immediately highlighted it would be my pleasure to liaise with CC HQ over the same.

Thanks,

Alex

Hello All

Africa is the least continent with representation at the CC. What are the steps taken by CC to ensure a possible coverage of the entire continent.

Hi Abbas,

I have told people that Using CC licences enables them to share their work to a wider audience and accessing their works by other people is easy.

In the process, people's articles, arts, creative content and books become popular. It is away to promote what one is doing without the recipient having to worry about legal actions as long as they use the works with in the acceptable means of the Licence

Primah..

Hi Abbas,

This is a great question! I relate it to Brian Ssennoga's request for value propositions to a university (and other potential users of CC licences in Africa.) Unless I am mistaken, Uganda Regional Meeting highlighted the need to develop targeted value propositions? Considering which, would the affiliates like us to establish, for lack of a better word, "Interest Groups", for random examples,OER, Publishers, Business Models, audio/visual, etc. etc.? The idea here being facilitating ground-up, self-forming, "loose" networks/associations around issues/areas of common interest? Borrowing from Brian's example, a "Universities Interest Group" would explore, draft and share value propositions for a University to adopt CC. Of course, complimenting work by other groups, teams and staff.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi folks,

I'm just interested in knowing -- what are the reasons that you give to a prospective organization for them to adopt a CC licence for their works? How do you convince someone to use CC?

Regards,
Abbas.
