  2. Who, Why, and When? • Hosted at the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica (IIS/AS) at Taipei. • Started as part of law and policy work in project OSSF (OSSF Supports Software Freedom). • First contact (2003 Summer), MoU (Nov., 2003), Launch (Sep., 2004), and now in “Phase 2” (since March, 2005).

  3. Licenses ported: CC Licenses v. 2.0 now available in the traditional Chinese language and for the Taiwan jurisdiction. Educational materials: 40-page introductory brochure and “welcome to my song” CD album produced with the Launch of CC Taiwan. (T-shirts, buttons, desktop wallpapers, etc.) Out-reach: face-to-face seminars several times per month since the launch. Web site: www.creativecommons.org.tw What has been done?

  4. “… And he'll be rapping: Sing the melody and feel free, An acknowledging credit and I'd be so happy. Sing the melody and feel free, If you gig'ed it and made money, grant me a due share of it. Sing the melody and feel free, If you don't gig for the money, you just sing and feel free. Brothers, what's the worry about the word proprietary? Sisters, the more open you be, the more you feel rich. …”

  5. Jesus Rocks!! by Mr. Yue-Hsin Chu et. al.,CC-licensed and commercially available since Oct. 2004.

  6. The Commons Deed found inside the CD package.

  7. What is being done? • More out-reach: educators, independent content creators and aggregators, and public media. • More discussion with government agencies: Awareness (for them) and funding (for us). • An ad hoc committee of 10 experts from outside of IIS/AS is being formed to guide and advise the CC Taiwan team. • CC technologies: ccWeb Kit & ccPublisher (localization), yahoo.com.tw/cc, etc.

  8. What are we pondering over? • opencontent.org.tw • work closer with local creator/user communities • work on CC technologies • double as a fund-raising cause • act as a “public notary” of cc-licensed works • Science Commons • share scientific datasets • work with Taiwan’s National Digital Archive Program

  9. What are the challenges? (at least I think) • Human resource and funding. • Priority and participation. • CC Taiwan as an independent entity? • CC Taiwan will eventually outgrow IIS/AS. • Issues of funding and credential. • Focused or broader in her aim and scope? • Relationship with CCi.
