Creative Commons Salon

Creative Commons is a an easy licensing method used by artists, musicians and writers worldwide to allow others to use their work according to a set of guidelines you select, including control over any profits. It increases the creativity and profile of those who share in the licenses.

For a full introduction to Creative Commons and examples of prominent and rising artists who are using this, join us at the first Austin Creative Commons Salon. It will be held will be held at Cafe Caffeine on February 20th starting at 7:30.

David Neff, of the American Cancer Society will also be sharing how that non-profit has gained by using the Creative Commons.

The CC Salon is a monthly event, held on the third Wednesday of each month, focused on building a community of artists and developers around Creative Commons licenses, standards, and technology. Come each month to meet others who license using Creative Commons technology or work with technology implement it.

We are also looking for artists or presenters who might want to show their work or offer some insight to the commons.
