Europe/Meetings

All affiliates are encouraged to seek out each other for meetings and collaborations when participating in events (especially those listed last on this page which is of particular interest to Creative Commons affiliates). You can always ask on the European mailing list if someone else is going to a particular event!

During some occasions, when a more detailed discussion is useful between the affiliates, it can make sense to schedule a half day or day long meeting before or after a related event to have some time for the affiliates themselves to voice opinions and find constructive dialogue.

Meeting planning

The current tentative thinking for potential meetings:

• 1st of May - One day session on the 4.0 process. Ties in with Re:publica in Berlin. - Includes participation from CC legal. Should we plan time for SGDR discussions in this, or is SGDR important enough to warrant a second meeting?
• Sometime around 20-22nd of June, a meetup on OER? Potentially with Cable Green
• Sometime around September 2012, a larger European regional meeting - Potentially with participation by Jessica Coates

Proposed themes for regional meetings

• 4.0
• SGDR
