rejon.org is Jon Phillips.

I’m going to be at SXSW this year from March 10 - 18 and participating in tons of events. If you are going to be there and want to discuss various Open Source involvements and/or Creative Commons, contact me.

Here is an announcement/challenge for a big party with open bar that CC and Good magazine are puting on on Monday, March 12.

And, here are the more colorful renditions of the two big parties I will be dancing/drinking/talking at:

if you’re going to be in austin for sxsw, make sure to join me at one (or both) of the parties creative commons is a part of.

the first one is on monday, march 12th during sxsw interactive and is being hosted in collaboration with good magazine and moli. it’s a benefit event for cc and takes place at uncle flirty’s (6th st. at trinity). $20 gets you a yearlong subscription to good (with all of the money going to creative commons) and entry into the party, where you’ll find an open bar (sweet!), music provided by the misshapes, and dj filip turbotito (of guns n bombs and ima robot), and interactive visuals from vj phi phenomenon. it’s gonna be crazy fun (and for a good cause) so subscribe and then rsvp by sending an email with your full name to rsvp@goodmagazine.com.

the second party is on saturday, march 17th during sxsw music and is being hosted with the superawesome people of tigerbeat6 and xlr8r magazine. it takes place at the beauty bar (7th st. at red river) and is tigerbeat6’s sxsw label showcase. look for performances from kid606, drop the lime, clipd beaks, star eyes, white williams, and oonceoonce. you can track this event on upcoming.org.

Here is a community event I’m participating in that is totally free:

If you live in Austin, and/or will be at SXSW on March 14 (4:30-6:30 PM at Austin History Center), I’m giving a FREE introduction to Creative Commons in affiliation with EFF-Austin. Here is the quick blurb I wrote up about the presentation:

In this presentation, Jon Phillips, Community Developer for Creative Commons, discusses how Creative Commons enables legal sharing, reuse, and remix. Contemporary relevant topics will be discussed in relationship to artists, musicians and attorneys. Come with your questions as this session will be highly interactive and focused on synthesis.

Also featuring: Entertainment Lawyer Deena Kalai and Attorney Ed Cavazos, Fish & Richardson, P.C.
