1.4) Followup Networking
1.4.1) RTHK contacted us on the possibly of producing CC promoting content on RTHK web site.
1.4.2) iResource applied for funding to add CC metadata capabilities to their web site and media player. The participants unanimously agreed to support this proposal.
1.4.3) Thank you emails were sent to the volunteers from the lecture and launch and they were encouraged to participate with CCHK events in the future.
1.4.4) A number of Web 2.0 tools such as FriendFeed, Flickr, Twitter and Facebooks Group were setup. Haggen would promote standard tags for CCHK events on Flickr.
1.5) Finance
CCHK received HKD$156,000 from the Open Society Institute through JMSC. About HKD$106,048.53 was spend. The estimated balance was HKD$49,951.47. About HKD$19,000 was paid to InMedia for the creation of the content of the education kit before the current CCHK account was created. This entry was taken as exactly HKD$19,000 in the summary below. Haggen would followup on this account entry.


2) Report on current situation
2.1) Haggen
2.1.1) As the Project Manager of Creative Commons employed Journalism and Media Studies Centre, he needed to spend considerable time on research and to secure fundings. For those who wanted to start new projects under CC, they needed to in bring their own resources.
2.1.2) Liberal Studies - Creative Commons had an edge in the New Senior Secondary (NSS) Curriculum as Liberal Studies teachers were expected to put together teaching materials rather than heavily based on textbook. For the current curriculum, teaching materials were provided by the Education Bureau. Haggen would investigate opportunities in this area and seek funding.
2.1.3) e-Book - This direction was proposed in the Chief Executive's Policy Address. The group discussed a number of possible obstacles in e-Book adoptions in schools and vested interests from different parties. Jeromy suggested to look into schools that currently developed their own textbooks.
2.1.4) Knowledge Team and OpenCourseWare - Knowledge Team was a group of academics in HKU devoted to helping HKU make better informed decisions and develop better strategies for using ICT to enhance teaching and learning. Pindar presented on 21 Nov and introduced CCHK to the group. Haggen would investigate the possibilities to build alliances and promote OpenCourseWare within HKU. John suggested to apply for QEF funding as the HKU the Teaching Development Grant had a strong focus on 4-year undergraduate curriculum reform.
2.1.5) Hong Kong Memory - Patrick Mok from Hong Kong Memory expressed the potential for the project to adopt CC licences on part of the collection. There is also possible to collaborate with CC on registration of digitized artefacts. Haggen would follow up.
2.1.6) OLPC - Haggen would meet with OLPC in Hong Kong on 11 Dec and seek possibilities for collaboration.
2.1.7) Haggen would produce a schedule for writing up funding proposals.
