Hi everybody thanks for your feedback George it would be great to have the Jordan launch live blogged on Meedan. Pls let's follow up this maybe with Toleen? As for the outreach and media plan for the event, I will keep you posted..I'm still trying to finish the organisation plan itself..lots of things to do!
As for the Salon: pls Eman and everybody else who would like to join, joining the Salon is free and open but I guess we have only limited space for artists There is not so much time and we can't simply showcase great artists' works..we will hightlight works of Arab artists that used CC or having a relation with open culture..that's the principle of the CC Salon So pls understand that we can't simply showcase Arab artists! Pls have a look to the next Salons happening in SF Bay area http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/18388 For those artists, media people, bloggers, musicians, writers, etc interested to join the Salon, pls drop me an email. We are in the process with RFC of defining all the details. There is limited time - one month only- so the sooner the better thanks a lot.If you have further questions, pls do not hesitate to ask salam dona On 7 Ott, 20:30, George Weyman <[email protected]> wrote: > Sounds great Donatella.
