Date / Time: 10 May (Sun), 2:50pm-5:15pm
Location: Hong Kong In-Media, 9 F, Fu Tak Building, 365, Hennessy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong SAR
Attendants: Pindar Wong, Haggen So, Ben Cheng, Oiwan Lam, Mayella Cheung, Shelley Lau, Griffith Jones, Johnny Cheung, Jeromy-Yu Chan, Yuuji Izumo, Tango Chan

Minutes: taken by Oiwan and edited by Haggen

0. Accepted the agenda

1. RTHK and CC
Mayella: explained the recent RTHK CC survey.
Jan

Presented to RTHK about the possibility of an open archive released under CC.

Feb

New deputy director Gordon Leung was interested in the idea of creative archive due to an external enquiry.

Apr

Sent out the questionnaire to 100 advisers + 1000 teachers to secondary school and journalism professors + RTHK producers
3 questions: a/ whether they support the idea? b/ which media format? c/ types of program to be listed in the archive?

Now

PR department doing analysis - mostly supportive.
No concrete plan to proceed, waiting upon the analysis of the survey.
Some experiments, e.g. "Hong Kong Illustrators"-"Let’s Draw Together!" and Headliner

Jun

Hopefully would finish questionnaire analysis and internal discussion.
Would start to select material and proceed to deal with technical details e.g digitization.

Obstacles to CC adoption included no urgency to create an archive and some colleagues had reservations, e.g. decrease in the volume of licensing

Pindar: the urgency was Liberal Study(LS).

Coming September was the first step for the 334 reform - New Senior Secondary Curriculum.
LS would be the newest and most risky subject among the 4 compulsory subjects.
LS called for a change in pedagogy which based in teaching and learning resources and did not rely on standard textbooks.

Role of CCHK

CCHK could provide a number of services to the situation.
First of all, CC took the fear factor away from using a piece of licensed material.
To introduce CC teaching and learning resources from overseas especially for the modules "Globalisation" and "Modern China" to HK Teachers.
For the module "Hong Kong Today", CCHK needed help to source materials and RTHK could be an important contributor.

Opportunities for RTHK

RTHK can become more relevant to HK education.
The most obvious contribution for RTHK could be content. The module "Hong Kong Today" required updated news.
The next level of contribution was journalism. The critical thinking skills promoted in LS was similar to the skills of a journalist. RTHK programme such as TalkBack provided a multiple viewpoints on current issues could be an example for LS.

How can CCHK Help

Technical Support on licensing, search engine technology with RDFa, co-ordination with Wikimedia Hong Kong and use Wikipedia as a model to develop teaching and learning resources.
Produce a proposal for RTHK that fit the RTHK and LS situation.
The community could also co-ordinate to generate media attention.

Haggen: response to decrease in volume of licensing

CC could be employed as a marketing strategy. Offering low quality format in CC and sold high quality format, e.g. Magnatune.
CC Plus model was also a viable commercial model.

Side Issues
When Mayella mentioned that RTHK picture digitization project consigned to Ng Chun Hung of HKU, Jeromy responded that the German Federal Archives was the first in the world to donate their photo archive to Wikipedia. If RTHK followed, she would be the world second and Asia number one.

Mayella also introduced a bit of the history of the RTHK new media department

Start in 1994 in cooperation with CUHK
Became a unit in 2000
Change of leadership in 2004
Currently 14 people

3. Future BrainStorm - refer to powerpoint
http://www.slideshare.net/lbrabbit/cchk-future-brainstorming

Oiwan suggested:

Sent CC Education Kit to media, journalism, education and relevant departments in all Universities in Hong Kong.
The community could setup a legco watch while CCHK remained neutral.

Generally Agreed that CCHK should be more transparent. Community meeting should be held more regularly and Haggen should give more updates.

4. Volunteering Opportunities
The below position will be advertised on http://hk.creativecommons.org/
4.1 Event Representative(s)
4.2 Web Presence Maintenance
4.3 Contributions to Newsletter
4.4 Regular Community Meetings

Haggen's contract was going to end in 5 months, i.e. end of Sep. There was no decision on extension of the contract yet. The community needed to consider seriously about the organization structure just in case.

No one picked up any of the above positions.

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.
2.2) Rebecca
Rebecca will be on leave from February next year for the whole semester year and she would retire from the position of Public Lead from Feb 2009.

Draft Letter Version 2

Dear friend,

As you are aware, I am enthusiastic about promoting freedom of expression and public culture, as well as promoting creativity in Hong Kong. As such, I have joined hands with liked minded believers in setting up the Creative Commons Hong Kong (CCHK) to promote this concept of 'some right reserved'. I am writing to solicit your endorsement of and support to CCHK.

We all share the same respect to copyright and intellectual properties which are well protected by legislation and which must be respected by all parties in a law-abiding society. What what increasingly concern us is that the straitjacket application of the current copyright legislation is suffocating the free spirit of creativity and sharing. Not all creators would like to have the full terms of copyright protection attached to their work. As a result, they are prevented from a fully free exchange of experience and sharing of resources, this being the cornerstone of the development of culture by the public and for the public.

Creative Commons is a new copyright license which allows creators to retain some aspects of copyright while freeing their work for the benefit of all. Broadly speaking, the concept of 'some rights reserved' is an easy and convenient mechanism facilitating creators to set out conditions how their work can be used and shared by the public. All these are summarized in the FAQ at this linkhttp://cchk.wetpaint.com/page/FAQ

It will take you sometime to read it over and I urge you to spare the time. Should you find the CC principles and application to your liking, I would put in a friendly request for your endorsement and support. Hong Kong, somewhat belatedly, will soon join the 40+ jurisdictions to have its local CC license when CCHK is officially launched on 25 October 2008, details of which I shall, of course, keep you posted.

Your endorsement and support mean a lot to us, lending weight to this new concept and application. To signify your support, please visit this webpagehttp://cchk.wetpaint.com/page/endorsementand leave your endorsing message there. Your quotation will be published on our literature, together with your good name and occupation(s) but, not, of course, your email particulars.

Join us now and join us on on 25 October 2008.

Your sincerely

(Draft endorsement webpage)

To Hong Kong Creative Commons

I support and endorse CCHK and the local ported CC licenses.

Legal Update

The problem of Creative Commons in Hong Kong Contract Law - Yahong suggests that according to Hong Kong Contract Law, contract is voidable for people under the age of 18. Creative Commons may have the same problem, and she suggests that we should not organize the Launch in a school since some one may question the validy of CC for students in Hong Kong. Participants generally think this is not a big problem but we have to make it clear to the general public it is "voidable" but not "void".
Improvement and works on the Legal Document - Yahong suggests that the next steps of finalizing the legal document includes: adding definition and explanation, like Attribution, Non-Commercial and Share-alike, while definition of Share-alike is not commons amongst Creative Commons licenses in different jurisdiction, they will look at the issue with CCi; Simplify the provision of "Original Author and Work"; Add a new provision on the Role of CC, that we're not legally liable to those who use the license ; Produce the 5 other version of licenses.

Website

Logo - Participants generally agreed to stay with the same logo selected for English Version but ask Matthew to make a Chinese one based on the original version.
Beansbox's Pro Bono Work - Pindar suggests that the contract should be revised by the JMSC, where the Intellectual Property part of the contract and Market Value needs special attention. The contract will be signed by the JMSC after approval.

Launch Update

Culture Day @ Creative Schools - Oiwan report that the Creative School is organizing its Culture Day at July 10 - 15. We are invited to organize a section with them to make students understand more about Creative Commons and to encourage them to create works under Creative Commons. A list of help needed will be sent to the mailing list later.
Rent and commitment on Launch Party - Creative School had committed to provide the venue and facilities for the Launch Party at Oct 25 (Sat). Their standard rent is 8000 but if their Board of Directors agreed the amount can be lowered.

Financial Update

Fund Raising Target - Pindar had suggested a plan for fund raising and suggests that we need at least 250k to start and we should target on 500k. Details on his Presentation

100 celebrity supports CC Campaign

Rebecca suggests that Oiwan / Ben / Peter should take the lead to draft the letter and she may help on the English one. JMSC can provide secretrey support.

Day of next meeting - 16 July

License

We will revise the plan and talk about Mission Statement in next meeting

Launch event

Jack had contacted with HKU Press for a possibility of cooperation.
Pindar will draft the event framework
It was suggested that we can have the launch event at Hong Kong Creative School's campus, to show our emphasize on "Creativity" and "Education", Oiwan will explore the possibility

On Fund Raising

Key is to show a sustainable business model for CCHK long-term

On a meeting between IPD and Yahong

We might put CC related info on IPD website
IPD might do a seminar on CC Launch (Friday?)

Pindar asked: What we will do after the launch?

Pindar: Advocacy & Education

Education first, and before we have a membership system to put their view forward, we should leave advocacy alone at this stage.

Oiwan: Soft advocacy is possible such as asking AM730 to turn CC

CC-HK Fans Meeting

Date / Time: 26 Jan (Sat) 6:30pm
Location: 14/F,Fu Tak Biulding, 365 Hennessy Road, Hong Kong.
Purpose: To make a plan for launching CC Project in Hong Kong

Important Point / Quick Agreement
- If we want to have the license by late-June, final draft of license have to be done by early to mid-May
- Legal team expresses that the difficult part is the choice of terminology. The terms have to be easy to understand and also in-compliance with legal requirement.
- It is important to change the culture, and get more supportors, independent contributors.
- We need to change the date of CC-HK Launch, decoupling with CIRC (the original schedule is to have it at 15 June) (Note: It was generally agreed that we need to reconsider weather a June launch is a good idea after the meeting)
- A CC-HK Education Kit which should includes local show case of copyright problem and how CC may help was suggested.
- Generally agreed that we should use the general CC logo but a slogan specific for CC-HK is acceptable.
- A new email group for preparing the CC-HK launch will be created for those who will commit to help the launch. To avoid sending lots more email to the general CC-HK mailing list.

Todo's
- Yahong: Need to find a people to translate the license into Chinese (next week or after CNY)
- Macro: Contact collecting society for comments
- Alice: Will send out a clear version of the draft license
- Someone? : Inform the government about the draft of CC-HK
