== 1. Vision ==
+
==Our purposes 2015-2016==
  
Copyright in Belarus has a stricted nature. It is without any alternates in our country. Creative Commons Lisences can provide tools for overcoming the restrictions. We  spread the word about this.
+
===Seed words about Creative Commons and help communities===
  
 +
#To prepare useful manuals in online for bloggers, authors, journalists how to implement Creative Commons licence on their works (2015).
 +
#To create leaflets about the most popular Creative Commons Licenses for spreading these on related lectures and workshop (2015).
 +
#To write articles about CC usage in the world and particular spheres (science, education, government, art) - (2015-2016).
  
== 2. Community ==
+
===Rise popularity of Creative Commons Licenses as a Free Culture Tool===
  
It is a bootstrap project. Some painters, singers, and writers use the Creative Commons as an aesthetic and value gesture.
+
#To implement competition among musicians who creates theirs tracks with free licenses (beginning of 2016).
 +
#To make video(s) with celebrities and vip persons about free culture principles (2016).
 +
#Rebranding our central CC-project in a crowdsourcing [http://www.talaka.by/projects/521 platform].
  
 +
===In law branch===
  
== 3. Priority goal ==
+
#To develop draft about local copyright law changes (2-3 pages) and move it in public discussion (2016).
 +
#To start online discussion and invite authorities, creators and netizens to discuss about the draft (2016).
 +
#To translate six variants CC license legal code and Public Domain text.
  
#To do more clear CC for belarusians. Translation Deeds for Creative Commons 4.0.
+
==What we expect==
#To spread words. Enlightenment activity (lectures, discussions, training, knowledge exchange)
 
#To drill local copyright. Law research in the Public Licences field for Belarusian Laws.
 
  
== 4. Expected outputs ==
+
*Our supporter circles become more huge and different (institutions and individuals, especially creators and netizens)
 +
*Awareness about CC-affiliate will increase and media will want to communicate with us more often. Our expertise in copyright issues will gain.
  
#To translate all Deeds 4.0 and several texts with legal code e.g. CC BY-SA 4.0 and CC BY 4.0 into belarusian
+
== 2016 purposes ==
#To collect one the Wikipedia page about 50 works under CC lisences in 2014 and about 100 works per 2015 year
+
Last year we reduce pace on legal and international aspect of our activity and work with free licensing with grassroot projects.
#To publish reports about the Law research in media and implement discussion about Creative Commons in Belarus (spring, 2015)
+
Such as a creating content (books) or providing assistance for creating content under CC BY-SA and intensify exchange with communities who (can) produce free content. It is less demanding for us and more tangible (in result dimension) volunteer activity.
  
 +
===About our this year activities===
 +
1. continuing of approach to help to develop or create grass root content projects.
 +
2. prepare for customers (authors, musician etc) of the license simple and helpful manuals.
 +
3. to organise some volunteer exchange, for increasinge absorptive capacity of our activity.
 +
4. to develop public for community in social networks (FB and subscription)
  
== 5. Resource Requirement ==
+
===Concerns===
 +
Honestly, we monitor all discussions and call to action such as SOC, OER licence branch, PD day and others, but we have no source to react efficiently. We mean huge gap between high-developed affiliates such as Poland, Germany, US and like us where just 2-3 volunteers. And that is very hard to react immediately linked to deadlines on your agenda. I think overcoming of the devision should be a topic for discussion in European CC community meeting (if think not only European) in the year (2016).
  
Now there are more actual roles below:
+
==What we seek==
  
*Translators and lawyers (deeds transalte into belarusian and some legal texts for research)
+
# Translator (for proof reading legal code)
*Painters and designer for memes and posters.
+
# More writer and bloggers who will share CC ideas.
*Movie maker for promo film (1-1.5 minutes) on belarusian
+
#Graphic designer and web-developer for leaflets and manuals producing.
*Media activists for viral campaign (social media manager)
+
#Organizers for public events such as presentation, photo or music competitions.
 +
#Some funds for the printing, lawyer and foster above-mentioned activities.
  
Now we deploy the CC affiliate project on some crowdsourcing platform.
+
==Challenge==
  
== 6. Sustainability and scalability ==
+
*Untranslated legal texts of the license.
 +
*Lack of simple interface between creators and the tool.
 +
*Little volunteer pool in local CC team.
 +
*Gap between us and high-developed affiliates (different agenda)
  
It is an experimental project where we will create as many as possble simple texts, images, videos for more attractable understanding for belarusian audience, first of all, authors.
+
==Collaboration==
  
== 7. Collaboration ==
+
We would like to make new friends from neighbor affiliates or individuals. Next years we will increase volunteer exchange and invite people to our projects.
  
We are interested to do at least two ways of cooperation with neighbors affiliate and other creative commons activists around the world
+
 
It is the Eastern-Europe Creative Commons Summit, for example, next year 2015, spring
+

Online video of our audio bridges where we can communicate and exchange experience with activists of the globe.

2016 purposes

Last year we reduce pace on legal and international aspect of our activity and work with free licensing with grassroot projects. Such as a creating content (books) or providing assistance for creating content under CC BY-SA and intensify exchange with communities who (can) produce free content. It is less demanding for us and more tangible (in result dimension) volunteer activity.

About our this year activities

1. continuing of approach to help to develop or create grass root content projects. 2. prepare for customers (authors, musician etc) of the license simple and helpful manuals. 3. to organise some volunteer exchange, for increasinge absorptive capacity of our activity. 4. to develop public for community in social networks (FB and subscription)

Concerns

Honestly, we monitor all discussions and call to action such as SOC, OER licence branch, PD day and others, but we have no source to react efficiently. We mean huge gap between high-developed affiliates such as Poland, Germany, US and like us where just 2-3 volunteers. And that is very hard to react immediately linked to deadlines on your agenda. I think overcoming of the devision should be a topic for discussion in European CC community meeting (if think not only European) in the year (2016).

  2. More writer and bloggers who will share CC ideas.
  3. Graphic designer and web-developer for leaflets and manuals producing.
  4. Organizers for public events such as presentation, photo or music competitions.
  5. Some funds for the printing, lawyer and foster above-mentioned activities.

Challenge

  • Untranslated legal texts of the license.
  • Lack of simple interface between creators and the tool.
  • Little volunteer pool in local CC team.
  • Gap between us and high-developed affiliates (different agenda)

Collaboration

We would like to make new friends from neighbor affiliates or individuals. Next years we will increase volunteer exchange and invite people to our projects.
