CC Birthday Party : Let's Synchronize Globally : DEC 15, 2006 PARTY Call for Participation

Body

Hello all,

Creative Commons in San Francisco is going to throw a local party on the 4th birthday of the organization. Even though CC's actual b-day is DEC 16, the event will be FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15 from 9 PM - 2 AM in order to have a big b-day countdown at midnight.

We are rallying the CC affiliates to also have their own CC birthday celebrations on DEC 15. Some of you might want to have a big party like we are going to have and others might want to setup a meeting at a restaurant or bar.

For this first-time celebration we have decided to see how much interest we can generate together, rally for as many synchronized parties around the world as possible, and leave as much of a "digital trail" as possible of our activities on the web for others to find.

If your project is going to participate, please put your information up on this wiki page:
