Creative Common Salon: Content Distribution for Nonprofits - Jun 14, 6-9pm
Okay, so the headline of this post isn't entirely accurate. The next Creative Commons Salon isn't going to be all about content distribution for nonprofits -- that's just a five minute talk I'm going to be giving (from the perspective of TechSoup's experiences adopting a Creative Commons licensing policy.) The rest of it will be about all sorts of other cool stuff, so you should show up. Here's the deal:
Wednesday, June 14 in San Francisco: CC Salon
It's time for another CC Salon in San Francisco. Please join us on Wednesday, June 14, from 6-9pm at Shine, (1337 Mission Street between 9th and 10th Streets). Note: Since Shine is a bar, this month's Salon is only open to people who are 21 and older.
CC Salon is a casual monthly event focused on conversation, networking, and presentations from people or groups who are developing projects that relate to Creative Commons licensing, content, and tools. Please invite your friends, colleagues, and anyone you know who might be interested in drinks and discussion.
We've got a terrific line-up of speakers:
- Rick Prelinger (Prelinger Archives), who will screen the film Panorama Ephemera and discuss using the Internet Archive as its primary means of distribution.
- Victor Stone, who will talk about the development of the music remix community ccMixter.
- Marisa Olson, artist and Curator at Large for Rhizome.org, who will present some of her recent work and discuss sampling, remixing, and licensing art.
- Amit Asaravala, Manager of Editorial Content & Strategy for Techsoup.org, who will talk about content distribution in the nonprofit world.
Additionally, Quarterbar will be spinning a mix of CC-licensed music.

I know there was at least one outspoken voice at the conference who was unhappy that this very site (netsquared.org) has a (c) traditional copyright, all rights reserved at the bottom of it and a CC license only somewhere in the depths of the site. Since Amit does content for the parent/sibling org, perhaps he could address the importance of clearly displaying CC info and how it should be used in relation to traditional copyright marks.

This is really interesting, Marshall. Thanks for bringing it up. I'll look into it some more and do my best to address not just TechSoup's CC licensing policy but also other policies within the organization.
At TechSoup, we did a lot of work to ensure that we could display individual CC licensing notices on a per-article basis rather than a site-wide basis. This was necessary because TechSoup publishes content that is borrowed from, commissioned by, or written by so many different people and organizations. There wasn't just one license we could put on everything!
For those who haven't seen it yet, here's an article I wrote back when we launched TechSoup's CC licensing policy. It explains in detail how we've implemented CC licensing on the site, how we display the licensing terms, and so on.

There's also verbiage on the site right now that suggests that everything published IS creative commons licensed already. check out this link: http://netsquared.org/about/how-to-be-netsquared
I don't know how/whether this works in conjunction with the copyright notice at page bottom, but there it is, fyi.
