Return to Summary page

This template is to be used by members of the CC Affiliate Network to create an Affiliate Team Roadmap for their jurisdiction. By "Affiliate Team" we mean all institutions and individuals with whom CC has executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) within each jurisdiction.

The purpose of the roadmap is to identify activities and goals for the upcoming months and year. All roadmaps will be posted on the jurisdiction wiki page (wiki.creativecommons.org/Jurisdiction#Roadmap). We ask that only one Affiliate Team Roadmap be created for each jurisdiction. Please collaborate and coordinate with other Affiliates in your jurisdiction. Sample of a completed Roadmap.

--Please do not edit any text below this line.--

  • Self-Identified Region(s), i.e. Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, North America, Arab world: Southern Africa
    • Why do you identify yourself as being part of the listed region(s)? That's where we are!

Vision

  • Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?

Emerging creatives need free and shareable resources to build on. Exposure of Southern African creativity to other markets through open licensing. South African political leaders are suspicious of internet freedom, so this needs to be protected, and the cause for internet freedoms needs to be embedded.

  • What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?

Broad awareness and use of CC among individuals, businesses, private and public institutions.
Public dialogue around internet freedoms, including CC.
Partnership with related organisations and non-profits
Use of CC in OER in universities and schools.
Self-sustaining, active community of volunteers and supporters.

  • How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?

Localized licenses in an important emerging economy
Add an African perspective to CC related discussions.
To help kick-start CC projects in other African countries.
Introducing more African works into the CC pool.


Community

  • Describe the communities that are currently active in the project.

Universities, software programmers, media geeks, musicians, authors, publishers, marketers

    • How will you continue to engage with these communities?

We will increase our engagement through:
Conference talks, website, Twitter, Legal advice, email.

  • Describe the communities (existing or new) that you plan to focus on during the timeframe covered by this roadmap?

Universities + OER community, Artists

    • How do you plan to engage with these communities?

Twitter, CC SA website, Other Websites and social networks, Conference talks, Workshops.

Priority Goals

  • What are the three most important focus areas on which the Affiliate Team will work during this time period? Please consider community building and adoption goals among your priorities.

1. Focus-area: License 3.0

    • Why is it important?

License contains important improvements on v.2.5

    • Which communities will benefit?

All users of CC 2. Focus-area: Turn website into useful resource for all CC South Africa community members and other people who are interested in our work.
This includes things like: a collection of case-studies or organisations using CC in South Africa (wiki); Monthly news (at the minimum); Acknowledge all CC SA volunteers and organizational supporters; Put more information about Creative Commons Licensing (including videos) - linking; Links and feeds to and from our other social media profiles

    • Why is it important?

This is most people's first stop in getting more information about Creative Commons South Africa. It's the virtual home of the community.

    • Which communities will benefit ?

All CC South Africa stakeholders. 3. Focus-area: Open Education Resources

    • Why is it important?

Many university players have not yet understood that CC is an important part in making OER work. It's a hot topic, which is an opportunity to align ourselves with a relevant and important cause.

    • Which communities will benefit?

Universities and Schools.

4. Getting organizational support, where other companies will offer to provide resources for us, such as printing & Public Relations services.

  • A list of companies who are prepared to volunteer their services in kind so we know who to call on if necessary.
