rejon.org is Jon Phillips.

I’m heading to Taipei, Taiwan on Monday for the CC Taiwan sponsored conference “Open & Free: New Enterprise in the Information Age — An International Workshop“. It should be fun to head east. I will also spend some time working with the CC Taiwan team on their own ccHost-based projects. I’m presenting in the collaboration section of the conference about The Open Content Library: Building Large Scale “Open” Communities around Multiple Media. I’m not speaking so much about the larger project Open Content Library, as much as about the concept of open content libraries like the Open Clip Art Library, ccMixter.org, and even good ole wikipedia.

Then, I’m back to China to Hong Kong and Guangzhou for a week off to chill. That actually means eat really good and work on Inkscape release, Open Clip Art Library and other projects. I will also go to my favorite gym and get shouted at in Mandarin in hip-hop, bellydancing, and aerobic dance classes as much as possible. Ah, I will dream about being bi-coastal in the future, as well as wanting to do an American-style road trip in China from Guangzhou to Beijing and (fly) back.

I’ll be in Taiwan from Jan 9-13 and then in Hong Kong and Guangzhou (Canton) from 13-20 and then back to San Francisco. Let’s connect if you are in those areas and want to do some things As always, the road goes the other way if you are in my neck of the woods (like lil wayne).
