Under the "projects" tab, I checked out a few sites. CCMixter blows my mind - how do these musicians make money this way? Or are they living at home with their parents? I really enjoyed the Science Commons. It's wonderful to have the sharing of projects and ideas. (Now if only our different government agencies could learn how to collaborate and work effectively together.)
I really appreciate the possibility of increasing culture. I hope that our present time will be a transformative time, reestablishing dialogue and discourse, rather than recrimination and litigation. It is possible that the economic upheaval can lead to a consideration of values we have lived from the 80's til now. I see this site as a possible step in the direction of greater 'common' and less ''me, me.'
I explored the Wiki tab on Creative Commons.org which led me to investigating their congregations known as "CC Salons." Salons are springing up in cities around the world. They are informal gatherings of artists, musicians, photographers, actually anyone-- aimed to bring diverse people together to share their work and allow for some Q & A on the concept of free culture. I clicked into a few more links to read that a city in India that sent out a CC Salon invitation to bring people together for a discussion on the Creative Commons, for a music performance, for networking with each other, for playing table tennis and XBox, and for snacks.
I looked for a CC Salon in the Minneapolis-St. Paul vicinity, but found none. While reading about the Berlin Salon, I saw a link to an event called "Open Everything" in Madison, Wisconsin just this past Dec. 2008. It sounded similar to a Salon in that it was an opportunity to join into the "global conversation" to open access of creative works.
