I would like to update the list about the most >> important thing that is going to happen very soon inshallah in the >> Region concerning the spread of open culture in the Arab world. As you >> know, Ziad Maraqa and Rami Olwan, CC leads of Jordan, have long time >> ago completed the Jordanian translation of the license and put it >> online for public discussion. We are now finally approaching the >> launch of the Jordanian license which should be very soon, inshallah >> on 15-16 nov this year. >> We are trying to organise a big launch event with many international >> participants. As a part of the launch event, we would like to explore >> the possibility to organise the first ever CC Arab world Salon. A CC >> Salon is a gathering of artists using CC licenses to release their >> works and possibly doing cool things! We have had many salons all >> across the world till now, but this would be the first time ever this >> is organised in an Arab country. >> To organise such an event, we need as many artists as possible! Arab >> artists, of course, or non-Arabs doing stuff that involves the Arab >> world (like Ben and Eileen from the UK who were in Jordan remixing old >> Arab movies and music under CC). But the most important thing is to >> have cool stuff...released under CC, of course! >> We are tentatively trying to organise this event on the evening of >> 16th nov in Amman. We would like to have artists coming from all >> across the Arab world. We know it is very difficult to gather people >> using CC in the Arab world, simply because there are still no CC >> licenses in Arabic (until CC Jordan is launched), but meanwhile there >> is a bunch of people release their stuff using the unported license, >> like our friends from Samandal in Lebanon who did very cool remix >> parties in Beirut. >> So we would like to kindly invite them, and everybody else who is >> interested to join this event in Amman, to submit your names and works >> to the list or to my personal email if you prefer. We are in the >> process to finalise the budget for the event, cause we would love to >> be able to cover expenses for everybody, but first of all we need to >> list the people that would like to showcase their artistic work under >> CC for the Amman party. >> I hope we will have nice works of art (music, films, comics, writings, >> live performances, etc) to showcase in Amman inshallah. >> Looking forward to hearing from you all! >> Salam >> dona >> >> >> > -- Donatella Della Ratta Creative Commons Arab World Media and Development Manager ++39 339 2248940 CC Newsletter -- http://creativecommons.org/about/newsletter Help Build the Commons -- http://support.creativecommons.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ لقد تلقيت هذه الرسالة لأنك مشترك في مجموعات Google مجموعة "CC Arab World المشاع الإبداعي". لإرسال هذا إلى هذه المجموعة، قم بإرسال بريد إلكتروني إلى [email protected] لإلغاء الاشتراك في هذه المجموعة، ابعث برسالة إلكترونية إلى [email protected] لخيارات أكثر، الرجاء زيارة المجموعة على http://groups.google.com/group/cc-arab-world?hl=ar -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
