En el sitio de Bienes Comunes publicamos que como parte de la campaña para conseguir fondos [please donate] para la Tercera Cumbre Internacional de Bienes Comunes [iCommons Summit] en Dubrovnik, Croacia, desde hace una semana en el sitio de Creative Commons se vienen publicando parte de las actividades y novedades de los capítulos locales alrededor del mundo. Hoy le toco el turno al capítulo de Creative Commons en la Argentina y al trabajo que venimos haciendo desde la ONG Bienes Comunes. Mike Linksvayer publicó un breve resumen de algunas iniciativas locales relacionadas a libros abiertos y a proyectos en los que esta involucrada la ONG Bienes Comunes. Les dejo el resumen:
“So far we’ve profiled Creative Commons international volunteers in Hungary, Taiwan, Chile, France, Catalonia, Spain, Malaysia and Peru. Today we’ll stay in South America with Creative Commons Argentina. in support of scholarships for our international project volunteers. Read letters from Lawrence Lessig explaining the campaign and an exciting new opportunity.”
“After the launch of Creative Commons Argentina the use of licenses grew up and many projects related with freedom of the cultural environment have emerged as a result. Ariel Vercelli, leader of CC Argentina and president of the NGO Bienes Comunes, describes that they are working hard in at least four areas:
(1) Creative Commons licenses in Argentina and other free licenses for all kind of intellectual works;
(2) Economías de los bienes comunes, a project to work, design and share open business models in Spanish;
(3) Aprendizajes Comunitarios, a project to work with digital commons and collaborative production of educational contents;
(4) Culturas y bienes comunes, to work together with the free culture movement from Argentina and Latin America.
From Bienes Comunes and Creative Commons local community, they are also planning other projects to work with commons in the bio/nano-technology. Together with other organizations, Bienes Comunes collaborates to protect natural environment and promote a balance of access of the common basic resourses.
For example, there are more than 40 albums with CC in Argentina; in Negocios Abiertos there is a video about that and uses of CC licenses for music in Buenos Aires. In the editorial field, during these months is starting Libros Abiertos (Open Books), a new initiative of books under free licenses for Latin America.”
