Hi Should have prodded you guys earlier really, so sorry for late notice, but here's a belated invitation to participate in our new London Development Agency research / educational project. No doubt we're contrary to some fc principles, but there's still plenty of interest and we'd love to get your input.
Our focus is on business models and artists producing IP, who give away - gratis - some of their product, whether under an open license or otherwise. So we're talking about authors publishing books under Creative Commons and in print, musicians offering both free and pay-for music, or software developers using APIs. But its still pretty loose - we don't yet have hard boundaries and are kind of in survey mode this month. If you know of or are directly involved in a similar project, please drop an email to creativebusiness at openrightsgroup dot org. Alternatively, click to our new blog and wiki where we're asking for help in gathering research materials. The project will run until March, with the aim of producing cc-licensed educational materials for remix and re-use. We'll present the work at 3 separate sessions, for which you can indicate interest on the wiki. * Wiki: http://www.openrightsgroup.org/creativebusiness/ * Blog: http://www.openrightsgroup.org/creativebusiness/blog/ * Twitter stream: http://twitter.com/creativebiz * Delicious tag: http://del.icio.us/tag/org-cbde (tag your articles with org-cbde) * Email us: creativebusiness (at) openrightsgroup dot org Thanks and bests and hope to hear back. -- Michael Holloway Operations Manager, The Open Rights Group Phone: +44 (0) 20 7096 1079 / +44 (0) 7974 566 823 Skype: mhholloway Web: http://www.openrightsgroup.org Fax: +44 (0) 20 7070 7011 Office: 7th floor, 100 Grays Inn Road, London WC1X 8AL, UK _______________________________________________ fc-uk-discuss mailing list fc-uk-discuss@lists.okfn.org http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/fc-uk-discuss
