Hi everyone,
CC HQ will make an 'official' announcement of the cc 10th birthday in their
newsletter next month. I'm circulating the mail in this list, as we
discussed (or made an attempt!) about our participating in cc's 10th
birthday.
If you look at the "*But for all of this we need your help" *section,
there are 5 bullet points on what each jurisdiction can do. We can
definitely do points 2, 3, and 4. I will take care of it, since we have
most of the info on our blog.
I'm still gathering my thoughts for point 5 (I.e. a SG event). Meantime,
feel free to share how you might like to contribute.
Thanks
Ivan
- Nominate your best *CC resources* to be featured on the website. We
know you all produce great materials - let us know what they are. In
November we'll choose the top 10 for showcasing. We'll also also use the
material submitted as the beginning of a *CC resource archive*, which
we'll continue to develop throughout 2013.
- Similarly, nominate *CC licensed content* you think should be
featured, or a *CC advocate* you think should be asked to blog. Again,
we want to make sure the full breadth of CC's community is reflected, all
around the world.
- Send in your *CC factoids* for the Twitter campaign. If you know a
piece of CC history, a fact about the licences, or a great local user or
use, let us know by replying to this email. We'd like to make these as
international as possible, so it's important we hear from you about the
history of CC in your region.
- Put the* logo on your websites*, circulate it to your network and
facebook, use it at your events and celebrations. And you can adapt it for
your audience - you might like to change the colour to match your website,
or translate the language for your local community. We only ask that you
keep the basic design the same (ie the three circles in a row) and that you
upload any updated versions you create to
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC10. You can find the current versions
there, and we'll have the adaptable illustrator file up ASAP.
- And of course, *start planning your event now* and, most importantly,
let us know about it by adding it to our events
page<
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Events>.
So far we've got events in Indonesia, Sweden and Brazil, but we need more.

More details on the 10th birthday celebrations, and how you can participate!
As you know, CC will be holding its 10th birthday celebrations over the ten
days from 7-16 December (16 December being the day the licence suite was
launched in 2002). We've taken your feedback from the poll I sent around
earlier, as well as ideas from staff, our partners and the broader
community, and have come up with a plan for a broad series of activities
and events. We're still finalising some of the details where they involve
external partners (expect more on competitions later), but we're ready to
start publicising and collecting your contributions for the first things
now.
*What's happening?*
- We're building a *dedicated website* at
http://10.creativecommons.org which
will be the central hub for the birthday celebrations, featuring events,
resources, competitions and daily announcements both during the 10 days and
in the weeks leading up to the celebrations.
- We've designed the great *logo *you can see at the top of this email
and will be using it to create banners, swag and other materials for our
community and friends (from individuals to large platforms) to spread the
word.
- We'll be running a* twitter campaign* with the hashtag* #cc10*. As
well as daily updates on what's happening, this will feature daily "CC
factoids" - fun facts about CC, its licences, and its users.
- On each of the 10 days the website will feature one *CC educational
resource* - a fact sheet, video, app etc designed to teach people about
or help them use CC. We want these to be your materials. We'll use it as a
chance to *showcase the great work you do as our affiliates*, and to
highlight the full language and cultural diversity of our international
community. Featuring affiliate resources was what you voted as your top
activity in the 10th birthday poll, so we plan to make this a major part of
our campaign. Examples of the kinds of resources we might feature
are this great
animation by CC Qatar <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P-bQB8zUSo>, or
this great poster by CC
Sweden<https://www.iis.se/docs/Creative-Commons-Webb.pdf>
.
- Each day we will also feature a piece of *CC-licensed content* from
the general community. Each piece of content will be accompanied by a blog
post by a* prominent CC advocate *explaining why they like it and think
it is important that it is CC licensed.
- And finally, as announced previously, we'd like to see *events and
activities happen globally* over these ten days. HQ will be running a
party in San Francisco, but we need more events worldwide to reflect the
full breadth of CC's community. All of the events will be featured on the
website, Twitter and Facebook.
*But for all of this we need your help!*
- Nominate your best *CC resources* to be featured on the website. We
know you all produce great materials - let us know what they are. In
November we'll choose the top 10 for showcasing. We'll also also use the
material submitted as the beginning of a *CC resource archive*, which
we'll continue to develop throughout 2013.

page<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Events>.
So far we've got events in Indonesia, Sweden and Brazil, but we need more.
*Is there something else you wanted to do?*
Let us know if you want to run your own competition, activity etc and we'll
help you publicise it.
For example, does anyone remember the old CC Swag
competition<http://www.flickr.com/groups/ccswagcontest07/pool/with/2101574481/#ph...>
* *we used to run on Flickr? We'd love to run it again, and it was one of
the top things you voted for in the poll. But here at HQ we're a bit
stretched with the other plans to run it ourselves. Anybody want to
volunteer to do it for us?
Or you might like to run a local competition, or translation project, or
remix challenge. Just let us know and we'll do what we can to help.
*Public launch *
Finally, later this week we will be publicly launching the celebrations via
a save-the-date teaser on our website, Twitter and Facebook. More details
will be provided in the newsletter next month. When we do post it, spread
the word!
