Quick Personal Background

Overview
- CC is great (on the web)
- Criticism
- How to build CC licensing across the board with all types of users
- Not many offline users (musicians, artists, writers, etc)
- Adaptation
- Some type of social event for sharing and discussing similar to how CC developed on the web, but in a physical setting
History of Salons
- 17th Century France is an apt model for this type of gathering which is half social and half intellectual.
Other Examples

- Remix Reading (Reading, UK)
- Open Source Community style but offline
Why?
To build Relationships.
- To connect together various people, their projects, and communities in order to discuss the issues surrounding Creative Commons.
Why in China?

- Time to connect together the various communities, resources, and infrastructures to power the free culture movement in China
- Great way to build connections between individuals and provide a relaxed atmosphere to discuss issues and show in-progress work and ideas.
Goal(s)
