---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jane Park <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 7:14 PM Subject: [cc-affiliates] Communications working group To: [email protected] Hi everyone! At the summit, we discussed ways to improve communication across the affiliate network. We came up with the idea of establishing a working group where a few of us get together to improve affiliate communications via specific projects, such as: - assessing information architecture and exploring best tools to share/access resources w/each other - mailing lists in general don't seem to be working for discussion. Is there a better way? - developing more case studies<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Case_Studies> specific to a certain domain (ie. journalism and museums<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/GLAM> and gov policy<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Government_use_of_Creative_Commons> are all hot right now) - one page fact sheets (ie. like resources under "physical media" at http://creativecommons.org/about/downloads) - sharing approaches on how to begin a conversation about CC with organizations/people/institutions in different domains - running an audit of all cc affiliate materials that are out there already These were some needs identified<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Global_Summit_2011/Unconference/Communications> at the Summit to get the conversation started, but I'm sure there are others. After discussion with the Regional Managers, we agreed the working group should be open to all affiliates, and even non-affiliate members of the CC community. We will form one working group in the beginning, and then distribute ourselves according to the projects we want to work on. The goal is to identify a few concrete projects that anyone can help with, without sapping up huge reserves of energy and time. The benefits are clear, however, since the resources and tools we improve and develop will be reusable by all of us. Jess and I will co-lead these activities with interested others, so we can better share our best practices, talking points, presentations, strategies for reaching out to governments, museums, educators, musicians, etc. Though we have a lot of resources on the site and wiki<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/>, such as our Case Studies <http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Case_Studies> project, it's easy for a lot of it to get lost in the mix or forgotten about. How can we improve communications on these important topics? We can start small, with 1-2 hours/week as a time commitment, until we identify the specific projects we want to work on. If you're interested, please post to this thread! Then we can start forming the group(s). And please feel free to pull in others that are not on this list.
