Hi everyone

This Friday 28th October is our second Creative Commons Aotearoa Meetup in Wellington, at midday, at the Southern Cross [map].

The theme is "Case Studies". Many of us have worked on really interesting projects involving Creative Commons licences. Some of us have encountered some expected and unexpected challenges along the way.

Come to this meeting to share the cool projects happening right here in Wellington, and learn from each others' mistakes and triumphs.You don't have to have your own experience of CC to come along - it's a great introduction to the tools and how they support free culture.

You can sign up and see who else is attending at the Meetup page, or email me at admin AT creativecommons.org.nz


Also, here are some great events being organised for 2011's Open Access Week (24th - 30th October):

Webcasts and streamed sessions

Open Access for Climate Scientists 2011

26 October 2011, DTU-Aqua, Copenhagen

Global Climate Change (GCC) research and related disciplines, focused on consequences and mitigation, are targeting humanity's "biggest challenge for the 21st century". The majority of that research is publicly funded, but currently it is not freely accessible to society and relevant stakeholders. Open Access provides the legal framework and e-infrastructures nested within universities to provide 100% free and immediate access to all future GCC-related, peer-reviewed research. The training is designed for all authors of peer-reviewed research, and will demonstrate the available means to achieve 100% open access, while boosting their own impact and citations. Visit Open Access for Climate Scientists.
