Fumi Yamazaki: January 2008アーカイブ
I often have occasions when I have to explain who is doing what in different organizations (CC, CC Japan, CC International, iCommons, etc) and thought it would be a lot easier if we had a chart where corporate organizations, location, missions and how they interact are clear enough for non-CC people to understand.
Would love to have feedback on this and fix accordingly :)

On 1/8, we did Joi Lab Seminar #4, this time the topic was human rights.
We had Ms. Kanae Doi from Human Rights Watch as the speaker,
Ms. Yuki Akimoto from Burma Info came to talk about the situation in Burma,
and Joi talked about Witness which he is the board member of,
and Mr. Oki Matsumoto from Monex etc to discuss.
The video is in Japanese, but we shooted Joi's message video on Burma as follows:
1月8日に人権問題についてJoi Lab Seminarを行いました。
今回はHuman Rights Watchの土井さんが少年兵について、Burma Infoの秋元さんがビルマの実態について、JoiはWitnessについて話し、マネックスの松本さんに加わって頂いてのディスカッションを行いました。
セミナーの様子のビデオを撮影しましたので、下記ご覧頂けます。
また、当日Joiのビルマについてのメッセージビデオを撮影しましたので ご覧下さい。
Burma Infoでは2月5日(火)〜15日(金)に写真展を行うそうです。
お時間のある方は是非いらしてください。

CC Netherlands is funded by the government- which is really a wow.
CC Netherlands is doing an experimental project with the collecting society "Buma/Stemra" (equivalent of JASRAC in Japan) where they allow artists to make their works available using non-commercial CC licenses...!
What is this all about?
Why could CC Netherlands make this happen?
I was so interested in this that I couldn't stop myself from interviewing Paul... :D

“The Netherlands Open in Connection”: Odd Title, But Not So Odd Goals for Adopting Open Standards and Open Source in Dutch Public Sector

Quotes from Technology Law Culture blog:
Under the pilot, Buma/Stemra will allow its member artists to make their works available using non-commercial Creative Commons licenses. (This was previously not allowed under the Buma/Stemra agreements which, as is common for collecting society agreements, required exclusivity for the collective licensing and collection of royalties and levies.) Conversely, artists who have previously relied on non-commercial CC licenses for dissemination of their work can now become a member of Buma/Stemra so that the organization may collect royalties and levies for commercial uses of their works.
“This initiative is in keeping with our efforts to provide optimal service to our rights holders. I also regard this unique and innovative collaboration between Buma/Stemra and Creative Commons as a first step towards more freedom of choice in the area of exploiting music copyright in the digital world. This initiative makes it abundantly clear to very one that we are open to innovation.”

“The Netherlands Open in Connection”: Odd Title, But Not So Odd Goals for Adopting Open Standards and Open Source in Dutch Public Sector
On 20 December 2007, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs published (pdf) an English translation of its 17 September 2007 plan entitled “The Netherlands Open in Connection” announcing the steps that the Dutch government will take in the coming years to further the adoption of open standards and open source for software in use in the Dutch public sector.Amazing!!
Why is iCommons Summit 2008 going to be held in Sapporo?
Many people asks me this question.
It is not just because Sapporo has great sushi...
it is not just because they have a great beer festival during this period...
it is not just because its weather in Sapporo during the summer is wonderful...
it is not just because Sapporo was selected 2 years in a row as
" the most attractive city in Japan"...
Well, although they are all true, but those are not the most important things.
Sapporo calls itself the "Ideas City",
and has various creative and artistic projects:
Idea Agency
Sapporo City University is doing "Idea Agency" series of seminars
which is sponsored by Digital Garage.
-Larry Lessig and Joi was the first lecturer of this series,
and you can see the video of that lecture here:
-Second lecturer of this series is by Hiroyuki Nakano,
who is a big supporter of Creative Commons and he even came to
iCommons Summit 2007 in Croatia.
-10th lecturer of this series was Heather Ford of iCommons.
As all of those lecture series' videos are online and CC licensed,
people can freely watch and learn from those videos.
Idea Agency Videos
Sapporo City University and their students has been creating this series of videos,
and licensed them under Creative Commons License BY-NC-ND.
We are hoping to have a collaboration with the students of various schools and universities
including the Sapporo City University.
Episode 4: Joichi Ito
Episode 3: Heather Ford
Episode 2: For more talks Rising Sun Rock Festival in EZO
Episode 1: Rising Sun Rock Festival in EZO
"WESS" is the company that coordinates this Rising Sun Rock Festival,
and they ogranize majority of the concerts held in Sapporo,
and they have announced to support to coordinate the iCommons Summit 2008 concert.
S-air (Sapporo Artist in Residence program) was established back in 1999,
and they have much experience in supporting artist in residence programs.
Music Studio in Sapporo Art Park area has excellent facilities
as you can see in the video here, and we will be able to do some recordiing here in this studio.
Also, I should probably note that the mayor of Sapporo City
who strongly supports and welcomes iCommons Summit to be held in Sapporo
was formerly a lawyer and his understanding towards the CC and free culture movement
is not comparable to anywhere else.
We have started Metroblogging Sapporo last year,
so that we can have lots of information for you- when you come to Sapporo next July.
So I think there is so many reasons why iSummit2008 in Sapporo is going to be exciting,
but we are still in the planning phase, and would like to have
as many as people as possible to join our conversation.
We are very much open to proposals to make this a better summit!
To the people living in Asia- especially in Japan:
iSummit in the past were held in Boston, Rio, Dubrovnik which was very far from us.
At last it is held here in Asia, and probably will be in a different continent next time
to pursue fairness and variety.
Please be sure to mark up your calendar now- 7/30-8/1 in Sapporo!

I have attended the workshop of Local Context Global Commons
as well as iCommons Summit planning workshop held in Johannesburg last week.

We are trying to make this year's iSummit planning process
as transparent as it could be, and include as much community input as there could be
to realize a Summit that the participants really expect.
We had interesting opinions... such as no more keynotes
but more sessions with great people that we have never heard of...
more fresh ideas, new experimental projects, etc.
On the other hand, we discussed that we would need a series of sessions
for the people who had not participated in the iCommons Summit in the past
-especially the locals- which would be moderated sessions such as
keynotes, Creative Commons 101-type sessions, translated in Japanese and English.
More places to hang around so that we have more intimate communication,
more documentation, more involvement of the locals was another topic.
You can see the full documentation of the workshop here,
as we are updating the meeting notes on wiki - as I blog right now:
DAY 1:
As Daniela of iCommons writes here on iCommons blog,
and worked on SWOT analysis of important topics. We focused on "ideal" on Day 1.

DAY 2:
On Day 2, we focused on reality as you can see here on the meeting notes,
working on risk analysis, task analysis, etc.
We, the Japan team gave a presentation on the actual summit venue and
some input on reality of the Japanese cultural, linguistic, legal and funding landscape.

DAY 1:
As Daniela of iCommons writes here on iCommons blog,
We kicked off the event with a sugar-induced frenzy involving building 3D models of our dream iCommons Summit venues. This allowed us to identify a framework for how we could structure the programme, based on the activities and spaces suggested by the workshop participants. We also brainstormed around our Summit audience, our goals and suggested tracks or themes for the summit.we did "candy prototyping" of the ideal summit framework as well as venue,
and worked on SWOT analysis of important topics. We focused on "ideal" on Day 1.
