Dear all, i just arrived from the CC Global Summit in Buenos Aires for me this is the 1st time too to attend the global summit i felt strange at the beginning but all people were very helpful and very friendly it was really good to meet a few from Arab community
it was a very useful in some points like to know more about cc affiliates in all over the world and other cc communities and to understand some technical license about creative commons and how it works but most of the sessions was very technical in law so it's wasn't really useful for artists however we were trying do some workshops but it was our fault that's we didn't organize it well The CC summit was rich with contributions from affiliates from all over the world. we made presentations on our projects participated about CC and how it goes with us in the Arab world the responding was really good and the appreciation of what we do was satisfied it was awesome experience to be part of this Global summit hope we can do something more professional later on of what we knew and learned in this summit can't wait till next cc meeting salam, Fadwa Attia Egypt Fadwa Attia , Manager and owner at FOFO designs,Senior Graphic Designer visual artist Alexandria,Egypt +201223607386 On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 2:56 PM, donna d.r. <[email protected]>wrote: > thanks for the feedback! > I would also love to hear back from the others who were there in order to > get more points of view > salamat > dona > > > On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 4:54 PM, Riyadh Al-Balushi <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I just got back from the CC Global Summit in Buenos Aires and I thought I >> would share some of my experience at the event with you guys. >> >> The was my first time to attend a CC Global Summit, but the place was not >> too unfamiliar as I saw many friends from CC communities in the Arab World. >> The Arab World community was represented by members from Morocco, Tunisia, >> Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar and Oman.
