Building an Australasian Commons

Several of my colleagues at QUT have been working to put together this upcoming conference, Building an Australasian Commons:

CCau is pleased to announce that details for its 2008 national conference, Building an Australasian Commons, have now been finalised.

Building an Australasian Commons will be held on 24 June 2008 at the State Library of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.

The event provides an opportunity for those interested in the free internet to come together to exchange ideas, information and inspiration. It brings together experts from Australasia to discuss the latest developments and implementations of Creative Commons in the region. It aims to be an open forum where anyone can voice their thoughts on issues relating to furthering the commons worldwide.

The conference's full program can be ... downloaded here.

Attendance is free and open to all comers. However, places are limited, so if you're interested in attending please register ASAP. Registration closes 10 June. You can download the registration form here.

The conference will be followed on the day by the second CCau ccSalon, a showcase of Creative Commons music, art, film and text from Australia and the region.

Building an Australasian Commons is affiliated with Creating Value: Between Commerce and Commons, which is being run by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation at the Brisbane Convention Centre from 25-27 June 2008. This conference showcases the latest research into enterprise and innovation along the dynamic boundary between market and non-market, cultural and economic, commercial and community. It features a range of prominent international keynotes, including Henry Jenkins, Mark Deuze and Baroness Professor Susan Greenfield. All Building an Australasian Commons participants are encouraged to attend both conferences.
