We want the champions

It’s been one week since we announced the CC Roadshow 2010, our on-the-road national conference for this year, and already the RSVPs have been streaming in from all over the country (although Melbourne is leading the RSVP tally by miles!). As we start to get a picture of who is coming to each event, we’ve been using this information to help us craft the programs for each of the CC Roadshows.

But before the city programs get to full-up we want to give our community the opportunity to get involved in their local event. We’re looking for as many interesting CC champions in each location as we can. We want to feature the broadest cross-section of the Australian Creative Commons community as we can. So if you are a musician, filmmaker, policy maker, photographer, educator, lecturer, librarian or anyone else for that matter, and you’re using Creative Commons we want to hear from you. Send us an email, post a comment on this blog entry, at reply us on Twitter or post on our Facebook wall with details and we’ll get in touch. Help us make the CC Roadshows your event.

ccAustralia hits the road with the CC Roadshow 2010

We are very excited to announce details of the next ccAustralia national conference, and this time we are taking a different approach. The previous conferences have been held in Brisbane, where we are headquartered. Although this helps keep our costs down, it has always limited who is able to attend. So this year we’re taking ccAustralia to a city near you!

Throughout September we will be hosting one-day mini-conferences in Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Although we have released a preliminary template for the program, each city will be customised depending on who is attending. So if you’re interested in finding out about CC for the first time, looking for an update on recent developments and the Australian Version 3.0 licences, or wanting to know how CC is being used by people in your local area, register now! We’ll see you soon!
