Any objections if CC-SG Day is declared to be 27 July? (and an outline for CC-SG Day)

[Ivan Chew]

Hi everyone,
I'm proposing CC-SG Day is on July 27. Why?
1) It can be considered the "birth" of CC-SG licenses. They were
officially announced and ported over on 27 Jul 2008.
http://creativecommonssingapore.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/singapore-announces-ported-creative-commons-licenses/

2) If we declare CC-SG Day to be 27 Jul, it allows greater flexibility
to work with partners or events on any other day. E.g. Software
Freedom Day, BarcampSG etc. Because I see those events as platforms to
participate and publicise.

Here's the plan for CC-SG Day (please voice out if you see major flaws
or have objections to raise):

1) We declare 27 July to be CC-SG Day. We can announce this one or two
weeks earlier. The accompanying call for action is to adopt and
release something under a CC license.

2) The "adoption/ release" period is from 27 Jul to 27 Oct, i.e. 3
months. With your help, we'll send out monthly updates during that
time -- tips on how to submit, suggestions on what to submit, nudge
people to remix, what it means to adopt CC licenses etc. People send
the links to me, and I'll post at the CC-SG blog.

3) In the month of Sept, CC-SG can participate in Software Freedom Day
(pending details from Harish) and also BarcampSG (mooted by Preetam).
By "participate", it'll be as simple as CC-SG volunteers/
representatives being at the event, to be on hand to explain what's
CC. Also tell people about the call for contributions.

4) Hopefully we'll have enough submissions by Aug. Then we can
encourage others to remix from the pool of contributors (e.g. the
remix/ contest idea from Giorgos -- though I need someone else to
drive this contest).

5) It all culminates on 11 Nov with a meetup/ CC Salon at The
Pigeonhole, with DJ Reiki doing a "live" remix. [The venue
sponsorship, DJ's availability has been confirmed for 11 Nov]

Comments? Objections? Counter-proposals?

Thanks
Ivan

Sounds good Ivan. If it helps, perhaps keen CC adopters / supporters could come together for a CC-SG planning meetup. We could all meet at The Pigeonhole (proposed CC-SG Day venue) and discuss what needs to be done, in a more dynamic fashion than over email. Furthermore, we can all meet Face-to-Face! :)

I'm flexible, just thowing a suggestion here.

Sounds like a good idea Kevin. Mailing lists are fine for some communications but not so much for brainstorming. A face-to-face could be better. Ivan?

[Ivan Chew]

Hi Kevin, Giorgos and anyone interested,
How about meeting this Friday evening? 6.30pm?
Alternatively 19 jul evening.

At the Pigeonhole.

Thanks
Ivan

Hi, Announcing CC-SG Day on July 27 sounds great.

I won't be available to help you guys in September, but I'd love to
join as a volunteer if the CC-SG Day is held in Nov.

I can join the meeting on 19 Jul evening, but not tomorrow.

Best regards,
Kanako

PS. the Pigeonhole is a great cafe :)

I'm knocked out with a sprained ankle, but if it's good enough on the 19th I
can try to join then.

Hi,
Let's meet on 19 Jul, 7pm at the Pigeonhole. If you're attending,
please email this list so that we know who's turning up. I'd hate to
have people miss each other (cos we may not have met).

BTW, Kevin and I met on evening of 15 Jul. Since only the 2 of us
could make it on 15 Jul, we met to get a few ideas started. Will share
more on 19th.

Meantime, I looked through the CC-SG blog archives again.
Re-discovered that CC-SG licenses weren't actually made "live" and
available online until Nov 2008. Giorgos posted this:
http://creativecommonssingapore.wordpress.com/2008/11/29/singapore-licenses-are-online/

That would make Nov the CC-SG birthday month, wouldn't it? :)

Folks -

Hi. I must apologize again for my tardy replies. I've had to take on
additional work and that meant heads down and focus for the last week
and a half. All that is behind now and I can jump into this discussion.

Whether CC:SG is done along side SFD[0] is purely for driving additional
awareness and traffic to both events. While the genesis of CC is from
the Free Software movement [1], I think there is enough separation from
that realm for CC to stand on it's own.

On that count alone, I think running CC:SG independently makes sense.
Also, nothing stops us from holding a mini-CC:SG during SFD also.

I will be happy to meet up with all of you to discuss this. The only
challenge I have is with this Tuesday [19th] and Friday [22nd]. Other
days are open.

[Giorgos Cheliotis]

Thanks Harish, I think we are indeed converging towards a separate CC-SG
event plus some form of participation at the SFD. Might be simpler as this
will require less coordination. Harish, it will be up to you I guess to give
us more inputs about SFD and how CC-SG could participate. We could also meet
separately to discuss how that might shape up.

Btw, I'm out for the meeting tomorrow night, my sprained ankle won't allow
it. I hope there will be another chance to meet or that those who will meet
will keep the rest of us posted on the mailing list.

Dear all,

Count me in for tomorrow night - I'm looking forward to meeting
everyone in person and lending a hand.

Giorgos,

Will keep you in the loop on how discussion develops.

See you guys on 19th (tomorrow) at the Pigeonhole. FYI, owners Ave and Rayner will be out of town, but the cafe should still be open thanks to their helpers.

Ivan, been busy over weekend. Yet to sound off the TODAY journalist. Will try to approach ST Life! first.

Hey Hisham,

   Tech65.com can definitely be a player, as we definitely need public outreach for Creative Commons. There are two objectives I see for building towards CC-SG Day:

1. Spread awareness that CC licenses work in Singapore. (Ported and recognized by Singapore's legal system, thanks to our CC volunteer lawyer)

2. Educate on what CC is about and how it affects Singaporeans.

Ideally we should set a target and challenge the public community to hit it. That'll create a story for the local media to carry. 1. That there's local talent

2. That we have a choice on publishing and consuming content

3. That anyone can participate

Just as an example: 

For 24hrs to CC-SG day, publish something under CC license, have our DJs/VJs/musician compose a mashup by midnight at The Pigeonhole.
