Creative Commons Superheroes Converge at pariSoma16 Feb

Joi Ito, Larry Lessig, Eric Steuer, Catharina Maracke and the entire Creative Commons staff gathered with fans and friends February 11 for the first CC Salon ever held at pariSoma.

At pariSoma we’re all independent creative knowledge workers, so we regard CC as a band of heroes and we were thrilled to host them. CC is a nonprofit committed to making it easier for people to share their work and build upon the work of others in the digital age. They’re probably most famous for their free and easy-to-understand content licenses.

Because CC runs offices all over the world, it’s extremely rare for so many CC leaders to gather in one place to speak about what they’ve been up to internationally and in the realms of science, culture, and education. We were proud to have it take place in pariSoma. Stay tuned for more about this event, including a video.

I never drink Kool-Aid and I very rarely fawn over anything. But I’ll attest that Creative Commons is one of the most worthy nonprofits on the planet. The work they do directly and powerfully influences the ability of future generations to innovate in all realms of creative work, and right now their work is more important than ever. Please donate to the cause. And check back here in a couple of months for the next CC Salon in SF. – Sean

    I’m impressed by the quality of the entries here (and most excellent design).

    Would you consider adding a Creative Commons license to the blog posts on pariSoma?
