Hello everyone, Thanks Dona for the new year wishes, wish you all a year full of prosperity.
Im looking for a help in finding ready made content / presentation slides in Arabic. This is for the purpose of promoting the use of CC licensing to several governmental entities in Saudi , hopefully this would lead for an official adoption of the license.
