Creative Commons’ monthly Salon is an open content Mecca

Familiar with Creative Commons? As a Web publisher, you should be. Creative Commons is an organization that provides flexible copyright licenses for creative works.  In other words, publishers, CC shows you where to find content for which you can obtain licenses, provided you adhere to their guidelines and terms and conditions.  

If you are lucky enough to be in San Francisco tonight—maybe getting in a little Barbary Coast time away from the flurry of SES—you can attend Creative Commons’ monthly Salon: it’s free.  Eric Steuer of Creative Commons sends us this note:

This month’s event takes place tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. at Shine.

 

Our line-up of speakers includes Hemai Parthasarathy and Barbara Cohen of the Public Library of Science, Owen Byrne of Digg, and John Buckman of Magnatune. Shannon Coulter will be DJing a set of CC music from Magnatune’s catalogue.
