OSSCube with iCommons, Open Video Alliance and Sarai to organise Delhi's first Creative Commons Salon

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 27, 2010 -- Feb 27, 2010- North Carolina - CC Salons are global, informal events focused on building a community of artists, developers, and creators of all kinds around Creative Commons licenses, standards, and technology. The first event took place in San Francisco in 2006 with the idea to replicate in other locations internationally. Since then salons have sprung up in cities around.

Come and be a part of Delhi’s First Creative Common Salon (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Delhi_Salon) on February 28th at Sarai, CSDS. The event’s objective is to start the social collective of artists, developers and creators around the Creative Commons Licenses and standards.

The Event will see two talks: Telecast of The Wireside Chat with Lawrence Lessig and a talk on Open Educational Resources by Dr. Savithri Singh. Lawrence, in the chat, has addressed many issues including copyright in a digital age, and the role (and importance) of a doctrine like “fair use.” Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, and is essential for commentary, criticism, news reporting, remix, research, teaching and scholarship with video.

After the telecast, we will have Dr. Savithri Singh talk about Open Educational Resources and WikiEducator. Open Educational Resources include anything uses in the educational context including learning designs, software, open standards & specs, design patterns, and content including Open CourseWare. Dr. Singh will talk about what are OERs and how to build one, why are they relevant, and why they are critical to Open Education.

After the Session by Dr. Singh, we begin with open house sessions. The idea behind these sessions is to promote discussions, interactions and networking between the participants and share their views and experiences on Sharing, Open Access, Creative Commons and Licensing. Post these sandboxes, we will move to creating a road-map for the CC NCR Community and figure out how to proceed forward. Remember, nothing is possible without your support. Be there to make a difference.
