Creative Commons Salon SF November 19, 2008

Join the Bay Area CC community at an informal gathering focused on the theme "CC and Citizen Journalism." We'll have presentations as well as question/answer time and mingling!

Presenters:

From Wikinews: Volunteer Coordinator Cary Bass and Bay Area “Wikinewsie” volunteer Jon Davis will talk about their experience at Wikinews, a global citizen journalism effort and project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

From Spot.us: David Cohn, who has been involved with myriad citizen journalism projects, the likes of which include NewAssignment.net and his current endeavor, Spot.us - a project of the nonprofit Center for Media Change - that allows an individual or group to take control of news by sharing the cost (crowdfunding) to commission freelance journalists.

Music:

We hope you’ll join us for what is sure to be a great evening of exploring the ways in which CC helps facilitate citizen news and media outlets - vital resources for sustaining a healthy culture of sharing!

Shine is 21+
