Community

CC Finland is engaging with the national government, governmental institutions, GLAM organizations, NGOs and companies. We work closely with Open Knowledge Finland. We collaborate with CC Sweden in terms of Swedish license translations.

Priority Goals

1. License translation. Translation includes both CC0 and CC 4.0 licenses. Translations are needed in Finnish and Swedish. The Finnish government will use CC BY 4.0 as the standard open data license, when it has been translated. 2. GLAM adoption. Finnish GLAM sector to use open licenses for their metadata, connect with national and European level repositories. 3. Open data ecosystem. Participating in open data business opportunities, advocacy and consultation to further the ecosystem. 4. WpLicense, a comprehensive CC license plugin for Wordpress. 5. Advocacy work in the educational sector, including OER and OCW.

Resources Required

People

Volunteers and community participation would help in establishing our goals.

Technology

No further technology requirements at this point.

Materials

No materials are needed. Our projects will be producing materials that can be reused in other circumstances.

Sustainability and Scalability

Our funded projects will of course produce documentation and reports required by the funders. All outcomes are published under open licenses.

We communicate regularly in the European regional mailing list, the license list, the dev list, and the community list. Press releases will be given as appropriate.

Collaboration

We collaborate with CC Sweden in terms of Swedish license translations.

Regional

• Swedish translations of CCPL4.0 and CC0.

Translation

We aim to translate licenses into Finnish and Swedish. Most of our other communication will be in Finnish only.

CC0 is completed in Finnish, other translations are in progress.
