This page is set to explore the idea of participation on a large scale and applied volunteerism with Creative Commons to help evangelize, discuss, and present Creative Commons to your locale.

How To Participate: Everybody

License Your Work

Creative Commons licenses would do little without enthusiastic use by creators across disciplines. If you’ve created any sort of copyrightable material, such as video, text, images, websites or blogs, license them! See http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/ for information about choosing a license.

Events

CC Salons

The CC Salon is a monthly event focused on building a community of artists and developers around Creative Commons licenses, standards, and technology. The first event is set for San Francisco with intention for the idea to replicate in other locations internationally.

The format for each event is to encourage loose networking amongst participants with 2-3 brief presentations from individuals and groups developing interesting projects that relate to the Creative Commons.

Check if there is a Salon in your city. If not, let us know and we can help you start one!

Conferences

Creative Commons is a small nonprofit. CC presents at several conferences a year, but the formal staff is small. We often need other CC community members to help us at conferences by helping present the projects, fliers, and other issues. Also, this is a great way to get into your favorite conference for free!

Check out our schedule and contact us if you want to get involved handing out swag and manning the booth.

Local Outreach

You can get CC involved in your community in a variety of different ways. The LiveContent project presents a bevy of opportunities in integrating CC in your area - from libraries to local schools. Informal person-to-person discussions are a great way to spread the word about CC.

Social Networks
