SANGONeT, in collaboration with the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), is hosting a Thetha on 24 May 2005 to discuss whether Southern African organisations should use Creative Commons to licence the information that they produce. The Thetha will occur in the same week as the launch of Creative Commons South Africa and an international conference hosted by the LINK Centre entitled “Commons-sense: Towards an African Digital Information Commons”.
SANGONeT's Thetha Forums aim to provide civil society organisations (CSOs) with an opportunity to discuss information communication technology (ICT) issues of common concern and to learn from one another's experiences. The forums focus specifically on the ICT challenges facing the CSO sector, highlighting and promoting practical benefits, opportunities and lessons learned to date.
The Creative Commons Thetha will cover the following themes:
- What is Creative Commons?
- Who is using Creative Commons to licence publicly-funded content?
- How do you use Creative Commons to licence your content?
- What next? A Southern African collaboration?
