Dear Colleagues,



    Happy New Year! Some resources need a license and others don’t! We’re
celebrating the restoration of the public domain tomorrow and hope you can
tune in.  The program will also be recorded for later viewing.



All the best,
Mike

Within the copyright system, content within the public domain and content
licensed under open licenses, such as the Creative Commons licenses, form a
core of materials that are freely available to users and creators to adapt
and build upon.  This event will discuss the role of the public domain, new
materials entering the public domain this year, the impact on projects
including Wikipedia, and the interaction with Creative Commons licensed
projects.  Also, this is a great opportunity to meet others involved in the
Wiki and CC communities in DC and exchange ideas.

A meet-and-greet reception will follow the event (and include time for
planning future collaboration.)
