=More About Centrum Cyfrowe at the Projekt: Polska Foundation=

[http://projektpolska.pl Projekt: Polska Foundation] invited preeminent Polish experts to join forces in the creation of [http://centrumcyfrowe.pl Centrum Cyfrowe] (Digital Center), offering expertise and know-how on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to enhance social capital in Poland, civic engagement, and efficiency of the state.

The aim of the Center is to foster broad social, civic and cultural engagement with the use of ICT tools. Based on our experience and research conducted up to date, we believe that a complex, multidisciplinary approach is necessary in order to develop a digital society – defined through three main pillars of activity: education (“knowing what to do”), development of content and services (“having a reason to do it”), and infrastructure (“having means to do it”). This approach may only be enacted in joint cooperation of the government, self-governmental entities and non governmental organizations. An active role of the latter is essential in the first pillar and preffered in the second.

=Affiliate Team Roadmap=

* Date submitted: December 2010
* Timespan of this roadmap: January 2011-December 2011

== Team information ==
* Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Poland

* Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of expertise:
Justyna Hofmokl (Public Lead), Krzysztof Siewicz (Legal Lead), Alek Tarkowski (Public Lead), Klaudia Grabowska (part-time), Kamil Śliwowski (volunteer)

* Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2005

* Self-Identified Region(s): Europe

==Vision==

* Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?
Poland is a fast developing country with steadily growing economy that survived recent economic crisis without major turbulences. It is a fairly young population with a growing number of internet users. At the same time, the level of understanding of digital technologies and their potential advantages is relatively low. Similarly, public debate on intellectual property is dominated by a conservative discourse of “closure”. Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies. We treat CC licenses as a legal tool that opens a wide range of social, cultural and economic changes.

* What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?
A successful jurisdiction project needs to achieve several things at once: 1) Build a solid local framework for using open licensing (localized licenses, knowledge base, support for users, etc.) 2); Build broad awareness of issues related to CC licensing; 3) Build a community of advanced users, early adopters and supporters of CC licensing; 4) Work with key stakeholders, through which CC licensing becomes popular and visible. At the same time, a successful project needs to become sustainable, in particular in financial terms.

* How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?
**CC Poland is one of the oldest European CC projects (we started in 2005). Throughout the years we have gained significant experience and knowledge on various aspects of license implementation and promotion.
**Our leads are relatively active at the level of the international Affiliate Network.
**In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad. It’s a good example of specific know-how that we have and could share
**Having said this, we believe that in order to contribute better an institutional framework for international collaboration is needed as part of the Affiliate Network. Sharing with others is time- and resource-intensive and we lack resources to devote time and energy to outreach and collaboration abroad.

===Community===

Creative Commons Poland is a fairly small project, with 3 persons actively involved on a daily basis. There is no real community involved in our activities on a day-to-day basis, but we are co-working with various organizations focused on reaching similar goals. CC Poland is a founding member of Polish Coalition for Open Education (an agreement of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of education, science and culture). The Coalition promotes open educational resources and open licensing models. There is also a broad community of organizations, people and projects upon which we draw from time to time, for particular tasks or projects.

In the year 2011 we plan to focus on three target groups / communities:
*Supporters of openness in the scientific and educational sphere: this is a community we have been focusing upon in the last two years; it seems worthwhile to continue this co-operation
*Government and public institutions: due to a large grant on open government we plan to work on advocacy of CC and open licensing among public institutions
*Grant-givers: We focus upon this particular group due to strategic importance of convincing grant-givers to use CC licensing: a successful implementation of CC licensing in a grant program helps to spread the model fast.

==Priority Goals==

'''1. Focus-area:''' Advocacy and cooperation with grant-giving institutions

Our goal is to promote Creative Commons licensing among grant-giving institutions, as an important best practice for grant programs. Successful cooperation with both public and private grant-givers requires:

- basic advocacy among a broad range of grant-giving institutions;

- creating and in-depth toolkit for open licensing in grant programs, to be distributed among interested institutions;

- providing insititutions (both grant-givers and grant-takers) with ongoing support on each level of the process (introducing open licensing to the grant scheme, training the grant-giver, conducting the grant competition with open licensing, providing support to grant-takers);

Currently, with our help, open licensing has been introduced by the Orange Fundation (charitable arm of the Orange telecom) and the development aid program of the Polish Ministry of External Affairs. In 2011, we plan to work with a range of other organizations, among them the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.

Possibly, as part of this focus area we will work on a broader project that introduces open models (among the CC licensing) into a regional public cultural institution, the Małopolska voivodeship cultural institute. We might also work on the implementation of CC-licensing as part of the Polish government’s content licensing scheme.

* Why is it important?
Working with grant-givers and public institutions is very important for wider promotion of CC licenses as well as for changing the perceived counter-culture image of, CC licenses. CC is frequently perceived in Poland as a tool used by copyright fighters not suitable for wider public. Establishing CC licenses as a standard licensing scheme for grant-givers will have a huge impact on the future uptake of licenses in Poland.

* Which communities will benefit?
Promoting CC licenses among grant-givers will be beneficial for different groups such us: institutions themselves, ngo’s (frequent beneficiaries of the grants), public.

* Output:
Toolkit for grant-giving institutions (September 2011).

'''2. Focus-area:''' Further development and legal analysis of CC licenses in Poland

In the year 2011 we would like to:
- analyze and then implement into the Polish legal systems (pending upon their applicability) the CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools;

- prepare a publication with a detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system, focusing on clarifying any potential or perceived conflicts or problems.

* Why is it important?
CC0 and Public Domain Mark are for us important, as a lot of discussion among advocates of openness in Poland focuses not only on open licensing, but also upon the Public Domain - we would like to provide tools that can be useful in this context.

A detailed legal analysis will build upon our ongoing work in this area conducted in the previous years: a conference on legal aspects of free culture organized in 2008, a research paper on the implementation of CC0 into Polish law prepared in 2010, and a range of documents on issues and challenges related to porting the 3.0 licenses (ending with a paper by Krzysztof Siewicz published in 2010 in a volume on copyright law). Such an analysis is necessary to provide a solid reference that clarifies issues related to the use of CC licenses in Poland, seen from a legal perspective.

* Which communities will benefit?
This legal work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.

* Output:
Analysis and potential implementation of CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools, adapted to the Polish legal system (June 2011). Detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system (September 2011).

'''3. Focus-area:''' Analysis and research of CC license use in Poland

As part of this focus area we plan to:
- conduct an evaluation of the use of open licensing in a cultural education grant program of the Orange Foundation - in order to obtain knowledge about the adoption of CC licensing by institutions (in this case, cultural NGOs and public institutions)

- conduct a survey of CC-licensed content made available online, based on a web crawl of the Polish internet

- create case studies of CC license use (and more broadly open licensing) in Poland, by different types of creators and institutions, and for different types of content

* Why is it important?
This research will provide us with a better understanding of the state of adoption of CC licenses in Poland. Furthermore, it will provide useful knowledge for other actors using CC licenses.
* Which communities will benefit?
This research work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.
* Output: Evaluation of open licensing in the Orange Foundation grant program (March 2011). Results of the crawler study (June 2011). Case study project (September 2011).

Other planned activities:
* upgrade of the CC Poland webpage
* update of the FAQ section on our webpage
* increased online communication through the webpage and social media
* regular community meetings as part of the NetWtorek meetings - monthly
* gatherings of IT and NGO communities interested, among other things, in open models

==Metrics==

* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1?
Number of grant-giving institutions using CC licensing. Value of grant programs. Number of grant-takers. Amount and type of content made openly available.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2?
Delivery of planned outputs. Reaction to prepared documents in the legal community.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3?
Delivery of planned outputs. Responses to presented research results by key stakeholders, partners, media and public opinion.

==Resources Required==

In order to further grow, we need to obtain dedicated funding for CC activities in Poland. Currently, our leads are only partially funded to conduct CC activities, and we lack project funding. Some of the funding we have is due to the fact that we include CC licensing as part of a different project. Our goal for this year is to obtain such funding, which in particular will allow us to hire additional employees.
We do not require any technological or material resources, we have a sufficient technological base and office space at the Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska, our CC affiliate institution.

==Sustainability and Scalability==

* How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?
Due to the current financing model, and our reliance on third-parties or volunteers in some areas, it is difficult for us to plan against or avoid delays. CC Poland is also currently largely dependent on the individual work of current leads and it is difficult to plan for the event of a potential change in leadership.

* How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases)
We will publish updates on email lists and press releases. We would enjoy having the opportunity to discuss ongoing work through occassional conference calls.

* How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?
We are working on employing in our work more intensively a wiki as a documentation mechanism. Also, through the case studies project we want to provide know-how on implementing CC-licensing in Poland.

===Regional===

We're part of the CC-Europe network. In the future we would like to increase collaboration in the scope of Central and Eastern Europe, which we see as a region with a particular and share cultural identity and history.

==Translation==

* In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why? Polish
** In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0? Licenses are available in Polish, CC0 has not been localized.
** Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0? We do not plan further translations. We involve the local language community on the occasional basis, when translation work is required. Last time we’ve obtained community help when we localized the 3.0 version.

=More About Centrum Cyfrowe at the Projekt: Polska Foundation=

[http://projektpolska.pl Projekt: Polska Foundation] invited preeminent Polish experts to join forces in the creation of [http://centrumcyfrowe.pl Centrum Cyfrowe] (Digital Center), offering expertise and know-how on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to enhance social capital in Poland, civic engagement, and efficiency of the state.

The aim of the Center is to foster broad social, civic and cultural engagement with the use of ICT tools. Based on our experience and research conducted up to date, we believe that a complex, multidisciplinary approach is necessary in order to develop a digital society – defined through three main pillars of activity: education (“knowing what to do”), development of content and services (“having a reason to do it”), and infrastructure (“having means to do it”). This approach may only be enacted in joint cooperation of the government, self-governmental entities and non governmental organizations. An active role of the latter is essential in the first pillar and preffered in the second.

=More About Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling=

[http://www.icm.edu.pl/ Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling], Warsaw University is a research centre in computational sciences, with a strongly interdisciplinary profile and a centre of computational and information sciences serving the whole scientific community of Poland. It is the leading scientific supercomputing centre in Poland, with experience in provision of large scale Internet information and data services, as well as in Internet content replication techniques.

ICM is also a research centre undertaking scientific challenges that cross interfaces separating traditional disciplines in multi-disciplinary effort, with main roots of complex systems and processes in life sciences, physics and chemistry, atmospheric and environmental sciences and decision sciences.

ICM facilitates conducting advanced scientific computational projects by Polish and international research groups and serves as an an educational centre in computational science and modeling.

Since 1995 ICM is running a multi-terabyte national virtual library programme (with over 10,000 full text articles being downloaded daily) serving hundreds of scientific and research institutions in Poland.
Furthermore, through the Digital Internet Repository of Science (DIR) project, ICM is creating a management system and public archive for digital scientific materials. Finally, ICM is experienced in large scale text acquisition and processing and is one of the partners in European Digital Repository Infrastructure program (project “DRIVER”). With the Creative Commons Poland project, ICM UW has extended its interest in digital repositories into the field of open access to scientific materials.

CC Poland would like to acknowledge and thank Prof. Elzbieta Traple and Piotr Wasilewski from the Institute of Civil Law at the Jagiellonian University for her involvement and support for the project.

=Affiliate Team Roadmap=

* Date submitted: December 2010
* Timespan of this roadmap: January 2011-December 2011

== Team information ==
* Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Poland

* Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of expertise:
Justyna Hofmokl (Public Lead), Krzysztof Siewicz (Legal Lead), Alek Tarkowski (Public Lead), Klaudia Grabowska (part-time), Kamil Śliwowski (volunteer)

* Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2005

* Self-Identified Region(s): Europe

==Vision==

* Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?
Poland is a fast developing country with steadily growing economy that survived recent economic crisis without major turbulences. It is a fairly young population with a growing number of internet users. At the same time, the level of understanding of digital technologies and their potential advantages is relatively low. Similarly, public debate on intellectual property is dominated by a conservative discourse of “closure”. Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies. We treat CC licenses as a legal tool that opens a wide range of social, cultural and economic changes.

* What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?
A successful jurisdiction project needs to achieve several things at once: 1) Build a solid local framework for using open licensing (localized licenses, knowledge base, support for users, etc.) 2); Build broad awareness of issues related to CC licensing; 3) Build a community of advanced users, early adopters and supporters of CC licensing; 4) Work with key stakeholders, through which CC licensing becomes popular and visible. At the same time, a successful project needs to become sustainable, in particular in financial terms.

* How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?
**CC Poland is one of the oldest European CC projects (we started in 2005). Throughout the years we have gained significant experience and knowledge on various aspects of license implementation and promotion.
**Our leads are relatively active at the level of the international Affiliate Network.
**In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad. It’s a good example of specific know-how that we have and could share
**Having said this, we believe that in order to contribute better an institutional framework for international collaboration is needed as part of the Affiliate Network. Sharing with others is time- and resource-intensive and we lack resources to devote time and energy to outreach and collaboration abroad.

===Community===

Creative Commons Poland is a fairly small project, with 3 persons actively involved on a daily basis. There is no real community involved in our activities on a day-to-day basis, but we are co-working with various organizations focused on reaching similar goals. CC Poland is a founding member of Polish Coalition for Open Education (an agreement of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of education, science and culture). The Coalition promotes open educational resources and open licensing models. There is also a broad community of organizations, people and projects upon which we draw from time to time, for particular tasks or projects.

In the year 2011 we plan to focus on three target groups / communities:
*Supporters of openness in the scientific and educational sphere: this is a community we have been focusing upon in the last two years; it seems worthwhile to continue this co-operation
*Government and public institutions: due to a large grant on open government we plan to work on advocacy of CC and open licensing among public institutions
*Grant-givers: We focus upon this particular group due to strategic importance of convincing grant-givers to use CC licensing: a successful implementation of CC licensing in a grant program helps to spread the model fast.

==Priority Goals==

'''1. Focus-area:''' Advocacy and cooperation with grant-giving institutions

Our goal is to promote Creative Commons licensing among grant-giving institutions, as an important best practice for grant programs. Successful cooperation with both public and private grant-givers requires:

- basic advocacy among a broad range of grant-giving institutions;

- creating and in-depth toolkit for open licensing in grant programs, to be distributed among interested institutions;

- providing insititutions (both grant-givers and grant-takers) with ongoing support on each level of the process (introducing open licensing to the grant scheme, training the grant-giver, conducting the grant competition with open licensing, providing support to grant-takers);

Currently, with our help, open licensing has been introduced by the Orange Fundation (charitable arm of the Orange telecom) and the development aid program of the Polish Ministry of External Affairs. In 2011, we plan to work with a range of other organizations, among them the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.

Possibly, as part of this focus area we will work on a broader project that introduces open models (among the CC licensing) into a regional public cultural institution, the Małopolska voivodeship cultural institute. We might also work on the implementation of CC-licensing as part of the Polish government’s content licensing scheme.

* Why is it important?
Working with grant-givers and public institutions is very important for wider promotion of CC licenses as well as for changing the perceived counter-culture image of, CC licenses. CC is frequently perceived in Poland as a tool used by copyright fighters not suitable for wider public. Establishing CC licenses as a standard licensing scheme for grant-givers will have a huge impact on the future uptake of licenses in Poland.

* Which communities will benefit?
Promoting CC licenses among grant-givers will be beneficial for different groups such us: institutions themselves, ngo’s (frequent beneficiaries of the grants), public.

* Output:
Toolkit for grant-giving institutions (September 2011).

'''2. Focus-area:''' Further development and legal analysis of CC licenses in Poland

In the year 2011 we would like to:
- analyze and then implement into the Polish legal systems (pending upon their applicability) the CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools;

- prepare a publication with a detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system, focusing on clarifying any potential or perceived conflicts or problems.

* Why is it important?
CC0 and Public Domain Mark are for us important, as a lot of discussion among advocates of openness in Poland focuses not only on open licensing, but also upon the Public Domain - we would like to provide tools that can be useful in this context.

A detailed legal analysis will build upon our ongoing work in this area conducted in the previous years: a conference on legal aspects of free culture organized in 2008, a research paper on the implementation of CC0 into Polish law prepared in 2010, and a range of documents on issues and challenges related to porting the 3.0 licenses (ending with a paper by Krzysztof Siewicz published in 2010 in a volume on copyright law). Such an analysis is necessary to provide a solid reference that clarifies issues related to the use of CC licenses in Poland, seen from a legal perspective.

* Which communities will benefit?
This legal work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.

* Output:
Analysis and potential implementation of CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools, adapted to the Polish legal system (June 2011). Detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system (September 2011).

'''3. Focus-area:''' Analysis and research of CC license use in Poland

As part of this focus area we plan to:
- conduct an evaluation of the use of open licensing in a cultural education grant program of the Orange Foundation - in order to obtain knowledge about the adoption of CC licensing by institutions (in this case, cultural NGOs and public institutions)

- conduct a survey of CC-licensed content made available online, based on a web crawl of the Polish internet

- create case studies of CC license use (and more broadly open licensing) in Poland, by different types of creators and institutions, and for different types of content

* Why is it important?
This research will provide us with a better understanding of the state of adoption of CC licenses in Poland. Furthermore, it will provide useful knowledge for other actors using CC licenses.
* Which communities will benefit?
This research work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.
* Output: Evaluation of open licensing in the Orange Foundation grant program (March 2011). Results of the crawler study (June 2011). Case study project (September 2011).

Other planned activities:
* upgrade of the CC Poland webpage
* update of the FAQ section on our webpage
* increased online communication through the webpage and social media
* regular community meetings as part of the NetWtorek meetings - monthly
* gatherings of IT and NGO communities interested, among other things, in open models

==Metrics==

* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1?
Number of grant-giving institutions using CC licensing. Value of grant programs. Number of grant-takers. Amount and type of content made openly available.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2?
Delivery of planned outputs. Reaction to prepared documents in the legal community.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3?
Delivery of planned outputs. Responses to presented research results by key stakeholders, partners, media and public opinion.

==Resources Required==

In order to further grow, we need to obtain dedicated funding for CC activities in Poland. Currently, our leads are only partially funded to conduct CC activities, and we lack project funding. Some of the funding we have is due to the fact that we include CC licensing as part of a different project. Our goal for this year is to obtain such funding, which in particular will allow us to hire additional employees.
We do not require any technological or material resources, we have a sufficient technological base and office space at the Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska, our CC affiliate institution.

==Sustainability and Scalability==

* How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?
Due to the current financing model, and our reliance on third-parties or volunteers in some areas, it is difficult for us to plan against or avoid delays. CC Poland is also currently largely dependent on the individual work of current leads and it is difficult to plan for the event of a potential change in leadership.

* How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases)
We will publish updates on email lists and press releases. We would enjoy having the opportunity to discuss ongoing work through occassional conference calls.

* How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?
We are working on employing in our work more intensively a wiki as a documentation mechanism. Also, through the case studies project we want to provide know-how on implementing CC-licensing in Poland.

===Regional===

We're part of the CC-Europe network. In the future we would like to increase collaboration in the scope of Central and Eastern Europe, which we see as a region with a particular and share cultural identity and history.

==Translation==

* In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why? Polish
** In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0? Licenses are available in Polish, CC0 has not been localized.
** Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0? We do not plan further translations. We involve the local language community on the occasional basis, when translation work is required. Last time we’ve obtained community help when we localized the 3.0 version.

= European Open Educational Resources Policy Project =

"Open Educational Resources Policy in Europe" is a project that brings together a coalition of international experts to strengthen the implementation of open education policies across Europe. It aims to take advantage of the current high profile of open education in Europe, demonstrated by developments such as the explicit mention of Open Educational Resources (OER) as an important policy goal in the EU's new educational strategy "Opening up Education."

You can visit the projects homepage with current information about the project [http://oerpolicy.eu/ here].

==Goals of the project==

Through the project, we want to establish Creative Commons and its European affiliates as key stakeholders in a policy debate on open education in Europe. Our goal is to ensure that educational policy with regard to resources and their use incorporates open principles based on best practices and high standards developed by our community. '''This can be achieved by licensing all educational content (both textbooks and other educational materials) that is being produced in Europe with public funding (both at European level and in member states) under a free license (CC BY or CC BYSA).'''

The goal of the project is to '''support adoption of OER policies in Europe''' and European states by '''raising awareness''' of the OER model and '''demonstrating''' its advantages to governments, users and businesses. The project will focus on the K12 level, but flexibly involve also issues related to higher education and lifelong learning.
The initial phase of the project will run until April 2014 and will be based on three key activities:
# building a '''COMMUNITY''' of activists, in particular by bringing together CC affiliates and others in their networks involved in OER activities;
# creating '''CONTENT''' a policy position and analyses to support it, as well as outreach and educational materials, in particular a handbook explaining the operation and benefits of open education; and
# establishing '''CONTACT''' with policymakers and other key stakeholders through a series of targeted meetings and workshops.

The target audience of the project includes policymakers and decision making bodies: the European Commission, organizations working on OER policy and adoption in European states, opinion leaders in the field of education and international organizations influencing European OER policy.

==Our plans==
As part of the project, we will prepare a range of policy content, starting with a policy brief defining our position on Open Educational Resources policy for Europe. We want to compliment it with a range of analyses, including one on current textbook production models in European states (into which OERs need to fit) or educational exceptions and limitations. We will end the project with a publication of a comprehensive handbook on open education and policies that can implement it in Europe.

We will also conduct our work through a range of events, starting with our participation in the OERde13 conference in September in Berlin, continuing with a range of workshops and ending with a final event (details are still to be determined). Expect us also to take part in key events related to OER issues, which will be happening in the coming year.

All this will not be possible to achieve without a team of activists and researchers working in the field of OER policy and recruited from among Creative Commons affiliate teams.

==Who we are==
The project is led by Alek Tarkowski, Public Lead of Creative Commons Poland, with the assistance of CC’s Regional Coordinators in Europe and the local CC affiliate network. For almost a decade, Alek has been involved in Creative Commons and the open movement, and is a founding member of the Polish Coalition for Open Education (KOED). For the last several years, he has been actively conducting policy work on openness and OER in particular, and has been involved in establishing the governmental open textbooks program and a concept for a bill on the openness of public resources in Poland.

As part of the event, we will launch our "Open NGO" initiative, with a debate on the openness of the non-governmental sector between representatives of key Polish organizations. We will also present our Open NGO publication, web portal and online content repository. Afterwards, an informal birthday party will take place, an opportunity for supporters of CC, free culture and openness to meet. During the party, we will have a pre-premiere showing of short films from the series "No Culture is Illegal": short documentaries with key Polish artists about culture, copyright and sharing, created in cooperation by the Miasta w Komie project and Centrum Cyfrowe.

|Description=„Digital School” is the newest governmental program for computerisation of Polish schools and raising ICT competences. Pilot of the project is aimed for 380 schools in Poland, it will equip them with hardware (i.e. tablets, computers for students and additional equipment choosen by school) and granted with 80% government funding of the costs (with a 20% contribution by the local government). Program is divided into four segments: e-school (infrastructure and equipment for schools), e-teacher (teacher trainings), e-student (ICT equipment for students) and e-resources (creating open textbooks, redesign of Scholaris, the national platform for educational resources, and production of ICT tools for school management). The e-resources segment includes a free licensing provision for all content produced within the program.

The "Cyfrowa szkoła" program is the first major Polish governmental program to include free licensing rules. The policy decision to construct the program in such manner should be seen in the context of a broader policy initiative to introduce openness of content produced or funded by public institutions. Previously, several other governmental programs have included open licensing conditions, albeit at a smaller scale, or for programs not explicitly set up for content creation (for example, a cultural education grant program run by the Ministry of Culture provided preferential treatment for projects using open licensing; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs uses CC licenses in its development aid grant program).

The policy applies to two types of content to be produced within the program: textbooks and other educational content. Firstly, 18 textbooks will be produced, covering covering early integrated education (grades 1-3) and 13 basic curriculum subjects, for all levels of education (elementary, middle and high school - grades 9-12). Secondly, additional - currently unspecified - resources will be created and published at Scholaris, a national educational resources platform.

The provisions of the program include:
- open licensing of all educational content produced within the program, under CC Attribution (CC BY) or another license meeting the free license definition
- the resources will be made available in at least one open technical format (with its specification made available without legal or technical constraints)
- for content made available online (through http / https protocol), it will be made available in line with current WCAG guidelines

=More About Centrum Cyfrowe at the Projekt: Polska Foundation=

[http://projektpolska.pl Projekt: Polska Foundation] invited preeminent Polish experts to join forces in the creation of [http://centrumcyfrowe.pl Centrum Cyfrowe] (Digital Center), offering expertise and know-how on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to enhance social capital in Poland, civic engagement, and efficiency of the state.

The aim of the Center is to foster broad social, civic and cultural engagement with the use of ICT tools. Based on our experience and research conducted up to date, we believe that a complex, multidisciplinary approach is necessary in order to develop a digital society – defined through three main pillars of activity: education (“knowing what to do”), development of content and services (“having a reason to do it”), and infrastructure (“having means to do it”). This approach may only be enacted in joint cooperation of the government, self-governmental entities and non governmental organizations. An active role of the latter is essential in the first pillar and preffered in the second.

=More About Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling=

[http://www.icm.edu.pl/ Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling], Warsaw University is a research centre in computational sciences, with a strongly interdisciplinary profile and a centre of computational and information sciences serving the whole scientific community of Poland. It is the leading scientific supercomputing centre in Poland, with experience in provision of large scale Internet information and data services, as well as in Internet content replication techniques.

ICM is also a research centre undertaking scientific challenges that cross interfaces separating traditional disciplines in multi-disciplinary effort, with main roots of complex systems and processes in life sciences, physics and chemistry, atmospheric and environmental sciences and decision sciences.

ICM facilitates conducting advanced scientific computational projects by Polish and international research groups and serves as an an educational centre in computational science and modeling.

Since 1995 ICM is running a multi-terabyte national virtual library programme (with over 10,000 full text articles being downloaded daily) serving hundreds of scientific and research institutions in Poland.
Furthermore, through the Digital Internet Repository of Science (DIR) project, ICM is creating a management system and public archive for digital scientific materials. Finally, ICM is experienced in large scale text acquisition and processing and is one of the partners in European Digital Repository Infrastructure program (project “DRIVER”). With the Creative Commons Poland project, ICM UW has extended its interest in digital repositories into the field of open access to scientific materials.

=Affiliate Team Roadmap=

* Date submitted: December 2010
* Timespan of this roadmap: January 2011-December 2011

== Team information ==
* Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Poland

* Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of expertise:
Justyna Hofmokl (Public Lead), Krzysztof Siewicz (Legal Lead), Alek Tarkowski (Public Lead), Klaudia Grabowska (part-time), Kamil Śliwowski (volunteer)

* Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2005

* Self-Identified Region(s): Europe

==Vision==

* Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?
Poland is a fast developing country with steadily growing economy that survived recent economic crisis without major turbulences. It is a fairly young population with a growing number of internet users. At the same time, the level of understanding of digital technologies and their potential advantages is relatively low. Similarly, public debate on intellectual property is dominated by a conservative discourse of “closure”. Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies. We treat CC licenses as a legal tool that opens a wide range of social, cultural and economic changes.

* What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?
A successful jurisdiction project needs to achieve several things at once: 1) Build a solid local framework for using open licensing (localized licenses, knowledge base, support for users, etc.) 2); Build broad awareness of issues related to CC licensing; 3) Build a community of advanced users, early adopters and supporters of CC licensing; 4) Work with key stakeholders, through which CC licensing becomes popular and visible. At the same time, a successful project needs to become sustainable, in particular in financial terms.

* How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?
**CC Poland is one of the oldest European CC projects (we started in 2005). Throughout the years we have gained significant experience and knowledge on various aspects of license implementation and promotion.
**Our leads are relatively active at the level of the international Affiliate Network.
**In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad. It’s a good example of specific know-how that we have and could share
**Having said this, we believe that in order to contribute better an institutional framework for international collaboration is needed as part of the Affiliate Network. Sharing with others is time- and resource-intensive and we lack resources to devote time and energy to outreach and collaboration abroad.

===Community===

Creative Commons Poland is a fairly small project, with 3 persons actively involved on a daily basis. There is no real community involved in our activities on a day-to-day basis, but we are co-working with various organizations focused on reaching similar goals. CC Poland is a founding member of Polish Coalition for Open Education (an agreement of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of education, science and culture). The Coalition promotes open educational resources and open licensing models. There is also a broad community of organizations, people and projects upon which we draw from time to time, for particular tasks or projects.

In the year 2011 we plan to focus on three target groups / communities:
*Supporters of openness in the scientific and educational sphere: this is a community we have been focusing upon in the last two years; it seems worthwhile to continue this co-operation
*Government and public institutions: due to a large grant on open government we plan to work on advocacy of CC and open licensing among public institutions
*Grant-givers: We focus upon this particular group due to strategic importance of convincing grant-givers to use CC licensing: a successful implementation of CC licensing in a grant program helps to spread the model fast.

==Priority Goals==

'''1. Focus-area:''' Advocacy and cooperation with grant-giving institutions

Our goal is to promote Creative Commons licensing among grant-giving institutions, as an important best practice for grant programs. Successful cooperation with both public and private grant-givers requires:

- basic advocacy among a broad range of grant-giving institutions;

- creating and in-depth toolkit for open licensing in grant programs, to be distributed among interested institutions;

- providing insititutions (both grant-givers and grant-takers) with ongoing support on each level of the process (introducing open licensing to the grant scheme, training the grant-giver, conducting the grant competition with open licensing, providing support to grant-takers);

Currently, with our help, open licensing has been introduced by the Orange Fundation (charitable arm of the Orange telecom) and the development aid program of the Polish Ministry of External Affairs. In 2011, we plan to work with a range of other organizations, among them the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.

Possibly, as part of this focus area we will work on a broader project that introduces open models (among the CC licensing) into a regional public cultural institution, the Małopolska voivodeship cultural institute. We might also work on the implementation of CC-licensing as part of the Polish government’s content licensing scheme.

* Why is it important?
Working with grant-givers and public institutions is very important for wider promotion of CC licenses as well as for changing the perceived counter-culture image of, CC licenses. CC is frequently perceived in Poland as a tool used by copyright fighters not suitable for wider public. Establishing CC licenses as a standard licensing scheme for grant-givers will have a huge impact on the future uptake of licenses in Poland.

* Which communities will benefit?
Promoting CC licenses among grant-givers will be beneficial for different groups such us: institutions themselves, ngo’s (frequent beneficiaries of the grants), public.

* Output:
Toolkit for grant-giving institutions (September 2011).

'''2. Focus-area:''' Further development and legal analysis of CC licenses in Poland

In the year 2011 we would like to:
- analyze and then implement into the Polish legal systems (pending upon their applicability) the CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools;

- prepare a publication with a detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system, focusing on clarifying any potential or perceived conflicts or problems.

* Why is it important?
CC0 and Public Domain Mark are for us important, as a lot of discussion among advocates of openness in Poland focuses not only on open licensing, but also upon the Public Domain - we would like to provide tools that can be useful in this context.

A detailed legal analysis will build upon our ongoing work in this area conducted in the previous years: a conference on legal aspects of free culture organized in 2008, a research paper on the implementation of CC0 into Polish law prepared in 2010, and a range of documents on issues and challenges related to porting the 3.0 licenses (ending with a paper by Krzysztof Siewicz published in 2010 in a volume on copyright law). Such an analysis is necessary to provide a solid reference that clarifies issues related to the use of CC licenses in Poland, seen from a legal perspective.

* Which communities will benefit?
This legal work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.

* Output:
Analysis and potential implementation of CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools, adapted to the Polish legal system (June 2011). Detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system (September 2011).

'''3. Focus-area:''' Analysis and research of CC license use in Poland

As part of this focus area we plan to:
- conduct an evaluation of the use of open licensing in a cultural education grant program of the Orange Foundation - in order to obtain knowledge about the adoption of CC licensing by institutions (in this case, cultural NGOs and public institutions)

- conduct a survey of CC-licensed content made available online, based on a web crawl of the Polish internet

- create case studies of CC license use (and more broadly open licensing) in Poland, by different types of creators and institutions, and for different types of content

* Why is it important?
This research will provide us with a better understanding of the state of adoption of CC licenses in Poland. Furthermore, it will provide useful knowledge for other actors using CC licenses.
* Which communities will benefit?
This research work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.
* Output: Evaluation of open licensing in the Orange Foundation grant program (March 2011). Results of the crawler study (June 2011). Case study project (September 2011).

Other planned activities:
* upgrade of the CC Poland webpage
* update of the FAQ section on our webpage
* increased online communication through the webpage and social media
* regular community meetings as part of the NetWtorek meetings - monthly
* gatherings of IT and NGO communities interested, among other things, in open models

==Metrics==

* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1?
Number of grant-giving institutions using CC licensing. Value of grant programs. Number of grant-takers. Amount and type of content made openly available.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2?
Delivery of planned outputs. Reaction to prepared documents in the legal community.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3?
Delivery of planned outputs. Responses to presented research results by key stakeholders, partners, media and public opinion.

==Resources Required==

In order to further grow, we need to obtain dedicated funding for CC activities in Poland. Currently, our leads are only partially funded to conduct CC activities, and we lack project funding. Some of the funding we have is due to the fact that we include CC licensing as part of a different project. Our goal for this year is to obtain such funding, which in particular will allow us to hire additional employees.
We do not require any technological or material resources, we have a sufficient technological base and office space at the Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska, our CC affiliate institution.

==Sustainability and Scalability==

* How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?
Due to the current financing model, and our reliance on third-parties or volunteers in some areas, it is difficult for us to plan against or avoid delays. CC Poland is also currently largely dependent on the individual work of current leads and it is difficult to plan for the event of a potential change in leadership.

* How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases)
We will publish updates on email lists and press releases. We would enjoy having the opportunity to discuss ongoing work through occassional conference calls.

* How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?
We are working on employing in our work more intensively a wiki as a documentation mechanism. Also, through the case studies project we want to provide know-how on implementing CC-licensing in Poland.

===Regional===

We're part of the CC-Europe network. In the future we would like to increase collaboration in the scope of Central and Eastern Europe, which we see as a region with a particular and share cultural identity and history.

==Translation==

* In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why? Polish
** In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0? Licenses are available in Polish, CC0 has not been localized.
** Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0? We do not plan further translations. We involve the local language community on the occasional basis, when translation work is required. Last time we’ve obtained community help when we localized the 3.0 version.

**In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad. It’s a good example of specific know-how that we have and could share
**Having said this, we believe that in order to contribute better an institutional framework for international collaboration is needed as part of the Affiliate Network. Sharing with others is time- and resource-intensive and we lack resources to devote time and energy to outreach and collaboration abroad.

===Community===

Creative Commons Poland is a fairly small project, with 3 persons actively involved on a daily basis. There is no real community involved in our activities on a day-to-day basis, but we are co-working with various organizations focused on reaching similar goals. CC Poland is a founding member of Polish Coalition for Open Education (an agreement of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of education, science and culture). The Coalition promotes open educational resources and open licensing models. There is also a broad community of organizations, people and projects upon which we draw from time to time, for particular tasks or projects.

In the year 2011 we plan to focus on three target groups / communities:
*Supporters of openness in the scientific and educational sphere: this is a community we have been focusing upon in the last two years; it seems worthwhile to continue this co-operation
*Government and public institutions: due to a large grant on open government we plan to work on advocacy of CC and open licensing among public institutions
*Grant-givers: We focus upon this particular group due to strategic importance of convincing grant-givers to use CC licensing: a successful implementation of CC licensing in a grant program helps to spread the model fast.

==Priority Goals==

'''1. Focus-area:''' Advocacy and cooperation with grant-giving institutions

Our goal is to promote Creative Commons licensing among grant-giving institutions, as an important best practice for grant programs. Successful cooperation with both public and private grant-givers requires:

- basic advocacy among a broad range of grant-giving institutions;

- creating and in-depth toolkit for open licensing in grant programs, to be distributed among interested institutions;

- providing insititutions (both grant-givers and grant-takers) with ongoing support on each level of the process (introducing open licensing to the grant scheme, training the grant-giver, conducting the grant competition with open licensing, providing support to grant-takers);

Currently, with our help, open licensing has been introduced by the Orange Fundation (charitable arm of the Orange telecom) and the development aid program of the Polish Ministry of External Affairs. In 2011, we plan to work with a range of other organizations, among them the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.

Possibly, as part of this focus area we will work on a broader project that introduces open models (among the CC licensing) into a regional public cultural institution, the Małopolska voivodeship cultural institute. We might also work on the implementation of CC-licensing as part of the Polish government’s content licensing scheme.

* Why is it important?
Working with grant-givers and public institutions is very important for wider promotion of CC licenses as well as for changing the perceived counter-culture image of, CC licenses. CC is frequently perceived in Poland as a tool used by copyright fighters not suitable for wider public. Establishing CC licenses as a standard licensing scheme for grant-givers will have a huge impact on the future uptake of licenses in Poland.

* Which communities will benefit?
Promoting CC licenses among grant-givers will be beneficial for different groups such us: institutions themselves, ngo’s (frequent beneficiaries of the grants), public.

* Output:
Toolkit for grant-giving institutions (September 2011).

'''2. Focus-area:''' Further development and legal analysis of CC licenses in Poland

In the year 2011 we would like to:
- analyze and then implement into the Polish legal systems (pending upon their applicability) the CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools;

- prepare a publication with a detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system, focusing on clarifying any potential or perceived conflicts or problems.

* Why is it important?
CC0 and Public Domain Mark are for us important, as a lot of discussion among advocates of openness in Poland focuses not only on open licensing, but also upon the Public Domain - we would like to provide tools that can be useful in this context.

A detailed legal analysis will build upon our ongoing work in this area conducted in the previous years: a conference on legal aspects of free culture organized in 2008, a research paper on the implementation of CC0 into Polish law prepared in 2010, and a range of documents on issues and challenges related to porting the 3.0 licenses (ending with a paper by Krzysztof Siewicz published in 2010 in a volume on copyright law). Such an analysis is necessary to provide a solid reference that clarifies issues related to the use of CC licenses in Poland, seen from a legal perspective.

* Which communities will benefit?
This legal work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.

* Output:
Analysis and potential implementation of CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools, adapted to the Polish legal system (June 2011). Detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system (September 2011).

'''3. Focus-area:''' Analysis and research of CC license use in Poland

As part of this focus area we plan to:
- conduct an evaluation of the use of open licensing in a cultural education grant program of the Orange Foundation - in order to obtain knowledge about the adoption of CC licensing by institutions (in this case, cultural NGOs and public institutions)

- conduct a survey of CC-licensed content made available online, based on a web crawl of the Polish internet

- create case studies of CC license use (and more broadly open licensing) in Poland, by different types of creators and institutions, and for different types of content

* Why is it important?
This research will provide us with a better understanding of the state of adoption of CC licenses in Poland. Furthermore, it will provide useful knowledge for other actors using CC licenses.
* Which communities will benefit?
This research work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.
* Output: Evaluation of open licensing in the Orange Foundation grant program (March 2011). Results of the crawler study (June 2011). Case study project (September 2011).

Other planned activities:
* upgrade of the CC Poland webpage
* update of the FAQ section on our webpage
* increased online communication through the webpage and social media
* regular community meetings as part of the NetWtorek meetings - monthly
* gatherings of IT and NGO communities interested, among other things, in open models

==Metrics==

* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1?
Number of grant-giving institutions using CC licensing. Value of grant programs. Number of grant-takers. Amount and type of content made openly available.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2?
Delivery of planned outputs. Reaction to prepared documents in the legal community.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3?
Delivery of planned outputs. Responses to presented research results by key stakeholders, partners, media and public opinion.

==Resources Required==

In order to further grow, we need to obtain dedicated funding for CC activities in Poland. Currently, our leads are only partially funded to conduct CC activities, and we lack project funding. Some of the funding we have is due to the fact that we include CC licensing as part of a different project. Our goal for this year is to obtain such funding, which in particular will allow us to hire additional employees.
We do not require any technological or material resources, we have a sufficient technological base and office space at the Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska, our CC affiliate institution.

==Sustainability and Scalability==

* How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?
Due to the current financing model, and our reliance on third-parties or volunteers in some areas, it is difficult for us to plan against or avoid delays. CC Poland is also currently largely dependent on the individual work of current leads and it is difficult to plan for the event of a potential change in leadership.

* How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases)
We will publish updates on email lists and press releases. We would enjoy having the opportunity to discuss ongoing work through occassional conference calls.

* How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?
We are working on employing in our work more intensively a wiki as a documentation mechanism. Also, through the case studies project we want to provide know-how on implementing CC-licensing in Poland.

===Regional===

We're part of the CC-Europe network. In the future we would like to increase collaboration in the scope of Central and Eastern Europe, which we see as a region with a particular and share cultural identity and history.

==Translation==

* In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why? Polish
** In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0? Licenses are available in Polish, CC0 has not been localized.
** Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0? We do not plan further translations. We involve the local language community on the occasional basis, when translation work is required. Last time we’ve obtained community help when we localized the 3.0 version.

=Affiliate Team Roadmap=

* Date submitted: December 2010
* Timespan of this roadmap: January 2011-December 2011

== Team information ==
* Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Poland

* Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of expertise:
Justyna Hofmokl (Public Lead), Krzysztof Siewicz (Legal Lead), Alek Tarkowski (Public Lead), Klaudia Grabowska (part-time), Kamil Śliwowski (volunteer)

* Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2005

* Self-Identified Region(s): Europe

==Vision==

* Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?
Poland is a fast developing country with steadily growing economy that survived recent economic crisis without major turbulences. It is a fairly young population with a growing number of internet users. At the same time, the level of understanding of digital technologies and their potential advantages is relatively low. Similarly, public debate on intellectual property is dominated by a conservative discourse of “closure”. Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies. We treat CC licenses as a legal tool that opens a wide range of social, cultural and economic changes.

* What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?
A successful jurisdiction project needs to achieve several things at once: 1) Build a solid local framework for using open licensing (localized licenses, knowledge base, support for users, etc.) 2); Build broad awareness of issues related to CC licensing; 3) Build a community of advanced users, early adopters and supporters of CC licensing; 4) Work with key stakeholders, through which CC licensing becomes popular and visible. At the same time, a successful project needs to become sustainable, in particular in financial terms.

* How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?
**CC Poland is one of the oldest European CC projects (we started in 2005). Throughout the years we have gained significant experience and knowledge on various aspects of license implementation and promotion.
**Our leads are relatively active at the level of the international Affiliate Network.
**In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad.

Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies. We treat CC licenses as a legal tool that opens a wide range of social, cultural and economic changes.

* What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?
A successful jurisdiction project needs to achieve several things at once: 1) Build a solid local framework for using open licensing (localized licenses, knowledge base, support for users, etc.) 2); Build broad awareness of issues related to CC licensing; 3) Build a community of advanced users, early adopters and supporters of CC licensing; 4) Work with key stakeholders, through which CC licensing becomes popular and visible. At the same time, a successful project needs to become sustainable, in particular in financial terms.

* How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?
**CC Poland is one of the oldest European CC projects (we started in 2005). Throughout the years we have gained significant experience and knowledge on various aspects of license implementation and promotion.
**Our leads are relatively active at the level of the international Affiliate Network.
**In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad. It’s a good example of specific know-how that we have and could share
**Having said this, we believe that in order to contribute better an institutional framework for international collaboration is needed as part of the Affiliate Network. Sharing with others is time- and resource-intensive and we lack resources to devote time and energy to outreach and collaboration abroad.

===Community===

Creative Commons Poland is a fairly small project, with 3 persons actively involved on a daily basis. There is no real community involved in our activities on a day-to-day basis, but we are co-working with various organizations focused on reaching similar goals. CC Poland is a founding member of Polish Coalition for Open Education (an agreement of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of education, science and culture). The Coalition promotes open educational resources and open licensing models. There is also a broad community of organizations, people and projects upon which we draw from time to time, for particular tasks or projects.

In the year 2011 we plan to focus on three target groups / communities:
*Supporters of openness in the scientific and educational sphere: this is a community we have been focusing upon in the last two years; it seems worthwhile to continue this co-operation
*Government and public institutions: due to a large grant on open government we plan to work on advocacy of CC and open licensing among public institutions
*Grant-givers: We focus upon this particular group due to strategic importance of convincing grant-givers to use CC licensing: a successful implementation of CC licensing in a grant program helps to spread the model fast.

==Priority Goals==

'''1. Focus-area:''' Advocacy and cooperation with grant-giving institutions

Our goal is to promote Creative Commons licensing among grant-giving institutions, as an important best practice for grant programs. Successful cooperation with both public and private grant-givers requires:

- basic advocacy among a broad range of grant-giving institutions;

- creating and in-depth toolkit for open licensing in grant programs, to be distributed among interested institutions;

- providing insititutions (both grant-givers and grant-takers) with ongoing support on each level of the process (introducing open licensing to the grant scheme, training the grant-giver, conducting the grant competition with open licensing, providing support to grant-takers);

Currently, with our help, open licensing has been introduced by the Orange Fundation (charitable arm of the Orange telecom) and the development aid program of the Polish Ministry of External Affairs. In 2011, we plan to work with a range of other organizations, among them the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.

Possibly, as part of this focus area we will work on a broader project that introduces open models (among the CC licensing) into a regional public cultural institution, the Małopolska voivodeship cultural institute. We might also work on the implementation of CC-licensing as part of the Polish government’s content licensing scheme.

* Why is it important?
Working with grant-givers and public institutions is very important for wider promotion of CC licenses as well as for changing the perceived counter-culture image of, CC licenses. CC is frequently perceived in Poland as a tool used by copyright fighters not suitable for wider public. Establishing CC licenses as a standard licensing scheme for grant-givers will have a huge impact on the future uptake of licenses in Poland.

* Which communities will benefit?
Promoting CC licenses among grant-givers will be beneficial for different groups such us: institutions themselves, ngo’s (frequent beneficiaries of the grants), public.

* Output:
Toolkit for grant-giving institutions (September 2011).

'''2. Focus-area:''' Further development and legal analysis of CC licenses in Poland

In the year 2011 we would like to:
- analyze and then implement into the Polish legal systems (pending upon their applicability) the CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools;

- prepare a publication with a detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system, focusing on clarifying any potential or perceived conflicts or problems.

* Why is it important?
CC0 and Public Domain Mark are for us important, as a lot of discussion among advocates of openness in Poland focuses not only on open licensing, but also upon the Public Domain - we would like to provide tools that can be useful in this context.

A detailed legal analysis will build upon our ongoing work in this area conducted in the previous years: a conference on legal aspects of free culture organized in 2008, a research paper on the implementation of CC0 into Polish law prepared in 2010, and a range of documents on issues and challenges related to porting the 3.0 licenses (ending with a paper by Krzysztof Siewicz published in 2010 in a volume on copyright law). Such an analysis is necessary to provide a solid reference that clarifies issues related to the use of CC licenses in Poland, seen from a legal perspective.

* Which communities will benefit?
This legal work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.

* Output:
Analysis and potential implementation of CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools, adapted to the Polish legal system (June 2011). Detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system (September 2011).

'''3. Focus-area:''' Analysis and research of CC license use in Poland

As part of this focus area we plan to:
- conduct an evaluation of the use of open licensing in a cultural education grant program of the Orange Foundation - in order to obtain knowledge about the adoption of CC licensing by institutions (in this case, cultural NGOs and public institutions)

- conduct a survey of CC-licensed content made available online, based on a web crawl of the Polish internet

- create case studies of CC license use (and more broadly open licensing) in Poland, by different types of creators and institutions, and for different types of content

* Why is it important?
This research will provide us with a better understanding of the state of adoption of CC licenses in Poland. Furthermore, it will provide useful knowledge for other actors using CC licenses.
* Which communities will benefit?
This research work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.
* Output: Evaluation of open licensing in the Orange Foundation grant program (March 2011). Results of the crawler study (June 2011). Case study project (September 2011).

Other planned activities:
* upgrade of the CC Poland webpage
* update of the FAQ section on our webpage
* increased online communication through the webpage and social media
* regular community meetings as part of the NetWtorek meetings - monthly
* gatherings of IT and NGO communities interested, among other things, in open models

==Metrics==

* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1?
Number of grant-giving institutions using CC licensing. Value of grant programs. Number of grant-takers. Amount and type of content made openly available.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2?
Delivery of planned outputs. Reaction to prepared documents in the legal community.
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3?
Delivery of planned outputs. Responses to presented research results by key stakeholders, partners, media and public opinion.

==Resources Required==

In order to further grow, we need to obtain dedicated funding for CC activities in Poland. Currently, our leads are only partially funded to conduct CC activities, and we lack project funding. Some of the funding we have is due to the fact that we include CC licensing as part of a different project. Our goal for this year is to obtain such funding, which in particular will allow us to hire additional employees.
We do not require any technological or material resources, we have a sufficient technological base and office space at the Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska, our CC affiliate institution.

==Sustainability and Scalability==

* How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?
Due to the current financing model, and our reliance on third-parties or volunteers in some areas, it is difficult for us to plan against or avoid delays. CC Poland is also currently largely dependent on the individual work of current leads and it is difficult to plan for the event of a potential change in leadership.

* How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases)
We will publish updates on email lists and press releases. We would enjoy having the opportunity to discuss ongoing work through occassional conference calls.

* How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?
We are working on employing in our work more intensively a wiki as a documentation mechanism. Also, through the case studies project we want to provide know-how on implementing CC-licensing in Poland.

===Regional===

We're part of the CC-Europe network. In the future we would like to increase collaboration in the scope of Central and Eastern Europe, which we see as a region with a particular and share cultural identity and history.

==Translation==

* In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why? Polish
** In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0? Licenses are available in Polish, CC0 has not been localized.
** Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0? We do not plan further translations. We involve the local language community on the occasional basis, when translation work is required. Last time we’ve obtained community help when we localized the 3.0 version.

=Affiliate Team Roadmap=

* Date submitted: December 2010
* Timespan of this roadmap: January 2011-December 2011

== Team information ==
* Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Poland

* Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of expertise:
Justyna Hofmokl (Public Lead), Krzysztof Siewicz (Legal Lead), Alek Tarkowski (Public Lead), Klaudia Grabowska (part-time), Kamil Śliwowski (volunteer)

* Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2005

* Self-Identified Region(s): Europe

==Vision==

* Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?
Poland is a fast developing country with steadily growing economy that survived recent economic crisis without major turbulences. It is a fairly young population with a growing number of internet users. At the same time, the level of understanding of digital technologies and their potential advantages is relatively low. Similarly, public debate on intellectual property is dominated by a conservative discourse of “closure”. Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies.

==Overview==
For three days from 16-18 September 2011, the Creative Commons Global Summit, Powering an Open Future, will bring together the CC community in Warsaw, Poland, to engage strategically on the future of our shared commons, to renew and further build CC’s vital community, to collaborate on mutual projects and initiatives, and to celebrate our successes as we head towards the end of our first decade together.

The Global Summit will bring together members of CC's [[CC_Affiliate_Network|Affiliate Network]] worldwide, CC board and staff, key stakeholders and many others interested in the present and future of the commons. It will include regional meetings, plenary sessions, legal-focused sessions, community-focused sessions, workshops, regional planning sessions and special discussion sessions on key issues such as key adoption areas, data, public domain and the new version 4.0 licenses. The meeting will also include a "public day", featuring sessions of most interest to members of the public, including case study showcases, sessions on CC use in areas such as education, government and science, and a CC Salon featuring local and international CC creations.

===Getting around Warsaw===

Wikitravel's [http://wikitravel.org/en/Warsaw#Get_around Warsaw page] provides good information about travelling around Warsaw, including using public transport. If you plan to do so, your best option is to purchase a 3-day travel City Travelcard, valid for all forms of public transport (bus, tram, metro). Travelcards (as well as single ride tickets can be purchased at newspapers stands, including a "RELAY" stand at the airport's arrivals terminal. [http://www.ztm.waw.pl/?c=516&l=2 More information] on public transportation tickets. [http://warszawa.jakdojade.pl/?locale=en JakDojade.pl] is an online service which helps you determine best public transport connections in Warsaw.

====Getting from/to airport====

[http://www.lotnisko-chopina.pl/en/passenger Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport] is located on the outskirts of Warsaw, about 10 km from the center of the city, which can be reached by taxi or public bus.

=====By taxi=====

Avoid the taxi drivers soliciting customers inside the terminal, as they severely overcharge. Instead, use one of the companies recommended by the airport authorities (Merc Taxi, MPT Radio Taxi, Ele, or Sawa Taxi). They are slightly above market average in terms of prices and stop near the exit from Terminal 1. You can also order a taxi from another ''corporation'' by phone (there is no surcharge). A typical fare to a hotel in the center of the city is around 40 zł at night, 20-30 zł in the daytime.

In any case, the most you should pay is 3.00 zł (up to 4.50 zł on Sundays; but typically no more than 2.40 zł) per km in the daytime plus an initial fee of no more than 6 zł. You are entitled to a receipt (which must specify the route used) upon request. The Polish word for receipt is ''rachunek''. There is no obligation to tip the taxi drivers, but most won't refuse if you offer. See the [[Warsaw#Taxis|Taxis]] section for a more in-depth explanation of taxi fares.

=====By bus=====

Buses #175 and #188 operate between the city and the airport from 4:40am to 11:00pm. At all other times, night bus N32 runs between the city center and the airport. Tickets for the bus cost 2.8 PLN from any kiosk; or buy one from the bus driver for an additional 0.5 PLN.

* '''Bus #175''' stops at some of the major downtown hotels, the old town, the Warszawa Centralna Train Station, and Centrum shopping center. The trip takes 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. Buses operate every 15 minutes during rush hour.

* '''Bus #188''' operates between the airport and [[Warsaw/Praga Poludnie|Praga Południe]] on the east bank, passing through to the south of the city center. This is a better choice if you just want to get to the '''metro'''.

''

===Getting from/to train station===

Summit participants arriving by train should arrive at Warszawa Centralna (Warsaw Central) train station, which is located in the very center of the city. From there, hotels can be reached either with a short ride on public transport or by taxi. Use one of the taxis with official permits to work at the train station, available at ground level, at the Southern exit from the train station.

===Getting from/to airport===

[http://www.lotnisko-chopina.pl/en/passenger Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport] is located on the outskirts of Warsaw, about 10 km from the center of the city, which can be reached by taxi or public bus.

=====By taxi=====

Avoid the taxi drivers soliciting customers inside the terminal, as they severely overcharge. Instead, use one of the companies recommended by the airport authorities (Merc Taxi, MPT Radio Taxi, Ele, or Sawa Taxi). They are slightly above market average in terms of prices and stop near the exit from Terminal 1. You can also order a taxi from another ''corporation'' by phone (there is no surcharge). A typical fare to a hotel in the center of the city is around 40 zł at night, 20-30 zł in the daytime.

In any case, the most you should pay is 3.00 zł (up to 4.50 zł on Sundays; but typically no more than 2.40 zł) per km in the daytime plus an initial fee of no more than 6 zł. You are entitled to a receipt (which must specify the route used) upon request. The Polish word for receipt is ''rachunek''. There is no obligation to tip the taxi drivers, but most won't refuse if you offer. See the [[Warsaw#Taxis|Taxis]] section for a more in-depth explanation of taxi fares.

=====By bus=====

Buses #175 and #188 operate between the city and the airport from 4:40am to 11:00pm. At all other times, night bus N32 runs between the city center and the airport. Tickets for the bus cost 2.8 PLN from any kiosk; or buy one from the bus driver for an additional 0.5 PLN.

* '''Bus #175''' stops at some of the major downtown hotels, the old town, the Warszawa Centralna Train Station, and Centrum shopping center. The trip takes 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. Buses operate every 15 minutes during rush hour.

* '''Bus #188''' operates between the airport and [[Warsaw/Praga Poludnie|Praga Południe]] on the east bank, passing through to the south of the city center. This is a better choice if you just want to get to the '''metro'''.

===Getting from/to airport===

[http://www.lotnisko-chopina.pl/en/passenger Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport] is located on the outskirts of Warsaw, about 10 km from the center of the city, which can be reached by taxi or public bus.

=====By taxi=====

Avoid the taxi drivers soliciting customers inside the terminal, as they severely overcharge. Instead, use one of the companies recommended by the airport authorities (Merc Taxi, MPT Radio Taxi, Ele, or Sawa Taxi). They are slightly above market average in terms of prices and stop near the exit from Terminal 1. You can also order a taxi from another ''corporation'' by phone (there is no surcharge). A typical fare to a hotel in the center of the city is around 40 zł at night, 20-30 zł in the daytime.

In any case, the most you should pay is 3.00 zł (up to 4.50 zł on Sundays; but typically no more than 2.40 zł) per km in the daytime plus an initial fee of no more than 6 zł. You are entitled to a receipt (which must specify the route used) upon request. The Polish word for receipt is ''rachunek''. There is no obligation to tip the taxi drivers, but most won't refuse if you offer. See the [[Warsaw#Taxis|Taxis]] section for a more in-depth explanation of taxi fares.

=====By bus=====

Buses #175 and #188 operate between the city and the airport from 4:40am to 11:00pm. At all other times, night bus N32 runs between the city center and the airport. Tickets for the bus cost 2.8 PLN from any kiosk; or buy one from the bus driver for an additional 0.5 PLN.

* '''Bus #175''' stops at some of the major downtown hotels, the old town, the Warszawa Centralna Train Station, and Centrum shopping center. The trip takes 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. Buses operate every 15 minutes during rush hour.

* '''Bus #188''' operates between the airport and [[Warsaw/Praga Poludnie|Praga Południe]] on the east bank, passing through to the south of the city center. This is a better choice if you just want to get to the '''metro'''.

''

===Getting from/to train station===

Summit participants arriving by train should arrive at Warszawa Centralna (Warsaw Central) train station, which is located in the very center of the city. From there, hotels can be reached either with a short ride on public transport or by taxi. Use one of the taxis with official permits to work at the train station, available at ground level, at the Southern exit from the train station.

===Getting from/to airport===

[http://www.lotnisko-chopina.pl/en/passenger Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport] is located on the outskirts of Warsaw, about 10 km from the center of the city, which can be reached by taxi or public bus.

=====By taxi=====

Avoid the taxi drivers soliciting customers inside the terminal, as they severely overcharge. Instead, use one of the companies recommended by the airport authorities (Merc Taxi, MPT Radio Taxi, Ele, or Sawa Taxi). They are slightly above market average in terms of prices and stop near the exit from Terminal 1. You can also order a taxi from another ''corporation'' by phone (there is no surcharge). A typical fare to a hotel in the center of the city is around 40 zł at night, 20-30 zł in the daytime.

In any case, the most you should pay is 3.00 zł (up to 4.50 zł on Sundays; but typically no more than 2.40 zł) per km in the daytime plus an initial fee of no more than 6 zł. You are entitled to a receipt (which must specify the route used) upon request. The Polish word for receipt is ''rachunek''. There is no obligation to tip the taxi drivers, but most won't refuse if you offer. See the [[Warsaw#Taxis|Taxis]] section for a more in-depth explanation of taxi fares.

=====By bus=====

Buses #175 and #188 operate between the city and the airport from 4:40am to 11:00pm. At all other times, night bus N32 runs between the city center and the airport. Tickets for the bus cost 2.8 PLN from any kiosk; or buy one from the bus driver for an additional 0.5 PLN.

* '''Bus #175''' stops at some of the major downtown hotels, the old town, the Warszawa Centralna Train Station, and Centrum shopping center. The trip takes 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. Buses operate every 15 minutes during rush hour.

* '''Bus #188''' operates between the airport and [[Warsaw/Praga Poludnie|Praga Południe]] on the east bank, passing through to the south of the city center. This is a better choice if you just want to get to the '''metro'''.

===Getting from/to train station===

Summit participants arriving by train should arrive at Warszawa Centralna (Warsaw Central) train station, which is located in the very center of the city. From there, hotels can be reached either with a short ride on public transport or by taxi. Use one of the taxis with official permits to work at the train station, available at ground level, at the Southern exit from the train station.

'''Registration for the Summit is open!''' You can register [https://creativecommons.net/civicrm/event/info?id=7&reset=1 here].

For three days in September 2011, the Creative Commons Global Summit will bring together the CC community in Warsaw, Poland, to engage strategically on the future of our shared commons, to renew and further build CC’s vital community, to collaborate on mutual projects and initiatives, and to celebrate our successes as we head towards the end of our first decade together.

CC HQ and meeting host, CC Poland, are still working on preparing the final agenda for the meeting, but a [[Summit_2011_overview|preliminary program]] is now available.

The Global Summit will bring together members of CC's Affiliate Network worldwide, CC board and staff, key stakeholders and many others interested in the present and future of the commons. It will include regional meetings, plenary sessions, legal-focused sessions, community-focused sessions, workshops, regional planning sessions and special discussion sessions on key issues such as ey adoption areas, data, public domain and the new version 4.0 licenses. The meeting will also include a "public day", featuring sessions of most interest to members of the public, including case study showcases, sessions on CC use in areas such as education, government and science, and a CC Salon featuring local and international CC creations.

In addition, CC’s Board of Directors will have a board meeting in Warsaw and will be available to meet with Affiliates.

If you have ideas for specific sessions or topics to be addressed in a session, please contribute them via [[Talk:Global Summit 2011|the Discussion page]].

We look forward to seeing you in Warsaw. Na zdrowie!

Global Melt/Local Global

2011-03-28T18:10:54Z

CCID-Tarkowski: added notes

Local vs. Global breakout session

Participants: Alina (Mozilla), Alek (CC), Dees (Mozilla), Ela (Transmediale), Leonhard (researcher)

Dees:
value: exposing people to modern web technologies, focused primarily on developers
physical meetups, and attending other events to evangelize
value: collaboration with universities and students
value: cross-polinate designers with programmers, across disciplines
focus on what the community wants, and not what you want - have this way a happy community

Alek
value: international community building - leads meeting together
value: cooperation with other global movements, but this was still internal movement growth

Leonhard:
there's not much reaching out to newbies
sometimes in smaller cities things work better, because there's less going on
transmediale really focuses on value for participants - organization people might have a tendency to think more about what people can do for the org (which might be wrong)
cc is a solution to the problem that people dont see as a problem, so you cant teach it to them directly - find a workaround

Ela
free culture workshops in Berlin: small format, you have to sign up, for specific events
value: focus, in a way even closing down possibilities
"broad entry into issues" can be too broad if you're looking at newbies, you need to show specific things, practical skills
in corp advertising world companies focus so much on their own internal language and have problems translating on the outside - CC and Mozilla have similar problems;
it's a wrong model if you're asking people to become converts in order to profit from the model - it would be better to have concrete things people can use, being themselves, and find cool

Dees
in london there are so many events to go to that it becomes a question whether you need to make one more event

Summing up:
values
1. value to participants is the first step in obtaining value for the organization
2. value is in new alliances, cross polinating, learning from each other
3. value is evangelizing, it's part of the mission of all organizations

tools
1. be a (neutral) platform that provides speakers from different points of view to present different viewpoints
2. you have to close some doors to open others, you need to focus and even be exclusive
3. find issues / tools / projects / people that are *related* to what you're interested in, but not directly (bridges)
+
4. people able to bridge communities - coming from "outside", but with insider knowledge of free culture
5. getting yourself out there, listening but not only talking - a certain mode of acting
6. we very much need neutrality, neutral spaces, platforms, events - for talking about issues we have a particular standpoint on
7. event calendar

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

==Goals and Outcomes==

Global Melt will be the beginning of more deliberate inter-organizational collaboration, of shared action plans, and shared resources. Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We will conclude the workshop with '''a deeper understanding of running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.'''

Participants are looking to develop tools that makes their work more efficient, more effective, and more impacting. Rather than building resources in isolation or continually investing in event strategies from scratch, we can gain more by pooling resources and ideas.

'''Possible shared resources include:'''
* '''Local planner handbook''' - How can we communicate best practices to better inform and inspire local organizers?
* '''Event calendars''' - How can we coordinate calendars of events from our organizations and community members?
* '''Event and agenda formats''' - How can we learn about other event formats and adapt them to our purposes?
* '''Facilitation practices''' - How can we grow the network of experienced, collaborative facilitators?
* '''Documentation and communication platforms''' - What tools and methods are effective for documenting and promoting events?
* '''Contact database''' - How can we map and connect community members and contributors across projects?
* '''Evaluation of venues, vendors, and public partners''' - How can we collect organizational and logistical experiences from hosting events?
* '''Event funding sources or templates''' - How can we generate resources to help local organizers bootstrap their events?

In the flavor of the [[Salon|Creative Commons Salon]], the CC Party is a great way to expand Creative Commons ideas to a audience with the ideas of throwing a good party. This idea comes from both planning the upcoming 4th [[Birthday Party]] for Creative Commons and a nice post by CC Poland's Alek Tarkowski on the [http://icommons.org/2006/10/25/cc-parties-rock-wroclaw-poland/ iCommons.org site for doing international CC Party events].

:The CC Party is a brilliant way of reaching out to young people, who otherwise wouldn’t learn about CC. While they aren’t as educational or informative as CC Salons, they are a great mix of promotion of commons-related ideas with some fun and entertainment.

This is a new idea, so please help plan out the general structure of the next CC Party at the [[Birthday Party]] page. This will be developed along the lines of CC Salon to have an easy-to-make-your-own-recipe to throw your own CC Party.
