January 2013

It's been a busy month for Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand! At the end of December, our crowdfunding campaign got over the line, giving us the chance to make new Creative Commons resources. A big thanks to all the Creative Commons supporters who chipped in. Our interns Holly and Harriet are now in the office, researching, writing and designing a new poster, remix guide and a schools brochure. We'll be showing these off in the next few weeks.

As always, if you'd like to ask any questions about Creative Commons, or if you want a Creative Commons presentation for your organisation, workplace or region, get in touch: admin@creativecommons.org.nz. Matt will get back to you to arrange the details.

PS Feel free to like our brand new Facebook page, and spread the word about this email list to friends and colleagues!

Creative Commons Aotearoa NZ is also sponsoring the NZ AU Open Research conference, in Auckland from February 6-7. It only costs $20, and you'll get to discuss and plan for the future of open research in Aotearoa NZ.
