Cloudberry on Creative Commons

On the 5th of November 2010 a group of 25 artists and Creative Commons activists gathered in Gothenburg, Sweden, to talk about Creative Commons and the challenges facing creators today. The result of this is Cloudberry on Creative Commons. By coming together in a joint workshop, we sought to understand better the motivation for people to engage with Creative Commons, the stumbling blocks along the way, and the perception of Creative Commons from the eyes of the artist. Writers, musicians, photographers and filmmakers were all part of the workshop.

Network meeting in Iceland

"We'll work towards a Nordic Creative Commons Salon, touring the Nordic countries and spreading awareness of Creative Commons". That was one of the outputs of a meeting of Creative Commons and Cloudberry representatives that took place in Reykjavik, Iceland, last week.

The meeting, which welcomed two new members to the network: Thomas Gramstad (NO) and Herkko Hietanen (FI), was sponsored by the Nordic Culture Point and Nordic Culture Fund, to provide an opportunity to network between the various countries and regions involved in the Cloudberry project.

Current activities

The Cloudberry forum

Discussions are starting to take off in our Cloudberry forum, which is great! For instance, Kim points out that our content categories kind of excludes his work of comics. This is exactly the kind of feedback we want to get from our visitors and members. Jonas is already looking into expanding the content categories or finding some other solution for us to include comics.
