Just like to add that there's a bit of conflict of interest here :-) Jessica will be speaking at this conference on the topic of *'Making the most of what we’ve got – why we need an Australian Creative Archive’* http://www.cyberlawcentre.org/unlocking-ip/2009/papers.htm#4AJC also speaking will be Laura Simes (from the Australian Digital Alliance) on the topic of *‘The flexible dealing provision for Australia's cultural and educational institutions: What's it all about? How are institutions using it?’* http://www.cyberlawcentre.org/unlocking-ip/2009/papers.htm#4ALS
and also speaking will be Brianna and myself on the topic of *Wikimedia in copyright / Copyright in Wikimedia’ *http://www.cyberlawcentre.org/unlocking-ip/2009/papers.htm#4ALS (like I said, CoI...) :-) -Liam [[witty lama]] On 3/31/09, Jessica Coates <[email protected]> wrote: > > Very relevant conference below - focusing entirely on the public domain. > > Jessica Coates > Project Manager > Creative Commons Clinic > Queensland University of Technology > > ph: 07 3138 8301 > fax: 07 3138 9395 > email: [email protected] > > > > > > *Unlocking IP 2009 Conference –* > > *National and global dimensions of the copyright public domain* > > *16-17 April 2009 - UNSW Sydney* > > UNSW's Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre invites you to register now for an > international conference from the 'Unlocking IP' ARC research project, which > investigates how Australia's digital commons, both the public domain and > public rights created by open content and open software licensing, can be > expanded and protected.
