== Ideas ==

What ideas would be good to try out at the CC Salon? This is a good place to brainstorm and place up thoughts about small segments at the CC Salon such as mix-offs, live code workshops, demonstration of new projects, etc.

=== Podcast ===

What about a podcast of the event? Could someone record the first event live so that we can podcast the content of the event?

=== Streaming ===

Should the event be streamed for those who can't attend? Also, to go along with, a chat channel would work out nicely as well.

=== Chat ===

The #cc chat channel on irc.freenode.net should be used for online communication during the event. Also, it is a useful space for communication before and after the event.

=== Performances ===

Would anyone want to perform live at the event? DJs and musicians, that means you! Also, anyone doing live dance, acting, etc, that means you as well!

=== Open Salon Time ===

Similar to Dorkbot and others, it would be good to have 10-15 minutes at the end dedicated to an open mic session where people can come up to the mic and talk about their ideas/involvements.

=== Film Screening ===

Maybe rather than just have presenters, there could be some informal screening of CC licensed films along with the film makers.

=== Live Visuals ===

During the event someone or something should produce the visuals during the event through a secondary projector. More likely than not, there will be a projector in use by the presenters, so any visuals will have to be before and after the presentations.

=== Kiosk ===

Kiosk for adding names/emails to the wiki page and discussion lists. Also, another idea would be a kiosk for having paypal donate to artists, cc, and other nonprofits.

=== Burn Station ===

It could be easily done with some PCs with a database of CC licensed works. And visitors can get a "souvenir" of the Salon.

=== Brainstorm Session ===

A basic session to brainstorm about projects that support Creative Commons licenses and standards.

=== Speaker Challenges ===

Speakers who have well known topics could be challenged to speak about new and different topics, or have to rapidly develop some topic on the spot.

== Background ==

The Creative Commons Salon is modelled after such successful endeavours as [http://www.remixreading.org/ Remix Reading] and [http://www.dorkbot.org Dorkbot] which have helped to bring artists and developers together in the post-digital era, face-to-face.

While online meeting and creation are "par for the course" these days, nothing replaces face-to-face interaction and the rate of exchange that takes places from a good monthly event.

Also, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_%28gathering%29 Salon model], which harkens back to 17th Century France is an apt model for this type of gathering which is half social and half intellectual.
