Hi all:

Kelsey, thank you very much for pushing this forward. While Alex and I have been rather quiet on this we were following this discussion with great interest, and we proudly reported to the other RCs and Ryan during last week’s skype call that the pooling of ideas here happens organically, bottom-up and truly affiliate-driven. This is very much aligned with Ryan’s intentions in that he was quite clear from the outset that regional participation in the planning of the Summit should not be something that is primarily RC-driven. As a result, we were, for instance, discouraged from participating in the GS planning committee. 

Btw, is anybody on this list now officially a part of the planning committee? I am not sure whether a final selection has already taken place but I am happy to follow up with Paul Stacey if nobody was invited as yet.

The ideas captured in the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-5YNxLSjKeTrw5lH7x2Ei16MoNsTDldvA53Sk0kR7Kc/edit#gid=0) are all great and while I have voted I am happy to be overruled. Whatever ideas are selected we will support as RCs. Ideally, I would like to see affiliates as project managers but if we see that this becomes a problem (e.g., because of lack of time of the affiliate in charge) we will of course provide support or even take over. We should have more than one project manager. 

Now, at this point there is little else to add from our side. But I want to strongly encourage all of you to vote on the ideas put forward. I believe the agreed deadline is 5 June. So why not taking a moment now to quickly vote ;-) Here is the link again: http://doodle.com/b2a8u78na2375qz9

In terms of next steps, I suggest that once the results are in we schedule a skype call (ideally next week) with those who have proposed the winning ideas and those generally interested in taking this further. The results of that call should then be communicated to Paul Stacey and the organising committee to plan how these ideas can best be incorporated into the Summit programme. I have noted, however, that not all ideas are actually for programme items, correct? The Mix tape or culture book ideas, for instance, require the actual work to be completed before the summit and what we could do in South Korea is some kind of launch events I suppose. 

Oh, one last thing - prompted by Simeon’s remark about him planning a (global) session on School of Open. Can everybody proposing such ideas (other examples would be the Cookbook or Women in Open Workshop) please also capture them in the google doc:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-5YNxLSjKeTrw5lH7x2Ei16MoNsTDldvA53Sk0kR7Kc/edit#gid=0  I have created a second sheet (called “global”) for this. That way this google doc can become some sort of master document for what affiliates from Africa contribute to the Summit.

All the best and thanks again for showing so much enthusiams.

Tobias & Alex

Can we vote multiple ideas? Or do we remain democratic with one man one vote system?

Sorry guys - 

Awesome guys, lots of great ideas. Would still love to hear what the Uganda team had in mind for their Summit bid? With such a diverse region, would be great to have one idea from all country teams. 

I completely agree Kayode 

I think an action plan could be 
1. Set a deadline for commentary from other teams. Does start of work Monday June 1st work? 
All ideas to have with 1-2 lines of details of what it may look like

2. Add your name to the spreadsheet if you would like to be Project Manager(s) (sometimes 2 heads is better. Also as RC's Alex and Tobias may want to be the project managers? ) 

3. Everyone votes by Friday June 5th on the ideas, majority rules, all country teams participate. 

thoughts? comments? suggestions ?

Great ideas Abbas.

I think we can begin to select off the ideas on the spreadsheet and begin to make efforts to present it at the Global Summit. 

I'd suggest we pick a project leader to steer the ideas into fruition.

The spreadsheet is an awesome idea Kelsey! I’ve added one more idea up on there.

Yes, would be awesome to get something from Ethiopia! :)

I’ll also be running a School of Open session - but this will be a global rather than an African agenda.

Thanks Simeon, 


While we await CC Uganda for ideas they would have pushed forth in the global summit, i want to suggest that we do an African Culture and traditions book.

Our culture and tradition is what sets us apart and it might be cool to enlighten the globe about this. 

While the views of others are welcome, let me know what you think about the African Culture and Traditions handbook and betterstill suggest other ideas we can push during the global summit

Hello! :)

Been awfully quiet around here!

Kelsey, it’s interesting you bring this up now as I’m in the middle of planning for a School of Open session for the summit.

CC’s focus has been on growing the commons and from the recently released state of the commons report, less than 1% of CC-licensed works are published in Africa. Going into the session with a solid effort or plan to increase the number of CC-licensed work published in Africa would be awesome!

A poster session to showcase some of the efforts/tools/platforms that are adopting CC in Africa would be awesome!

Also, folk in Uganda put in a bid to host the Summit. Did you guys have a couple of ideas that we can repurpose for Seoul?

Kind Regards,

Hi Kelsey, everyone,

Thanks for this message!

Tobias and myself have been on a, "connecting all of our teams"  assignment the affiliates gave us during our last round of calls.

We commenced with design of a continental website where we can all be posting developments in our region and around the CC world. 

Attached please find a mock-up of the landing page for your valued comments. We're also in touch with CC Europe discussing how to borrow (and remix on to ours) their proposed regional website. More on that later.

Meanwhile, we encourage all to contribute to your suggestions.

Have a great day,

Tobias and Alex

Hi Everyone

It feels like it's been ages since we've all chatted. I keep seeing amazing things on the CC HQ blog about everyone's activities. Nigeria's School of Open is filling my facebook feed with great pics! and TZ SOO primary school program photo/blog was awesome. Ethiopia team getting started, everyone has been such a great support to them. I can't keep track! 


I'm starting to think about the CC Summit and what we as a continent can do/bring/show


Does anyone have any ideas? 


I was thinking about the CC Mixtape maybe we can do an Africa version? or film?  I think it would be great to showcase something together.

 but was also thinking about a panel discussion on CC in the wild - to showcase/talk about the uses of CC in print form. I'm thinking about African Storybook Project and BookDash. Maybe you have some examples. 


I just wanted to get the ball rolling and see what ideas we can come up with.
