At the 2007 APC Council Meeting Frédéric Dubois (APC Communications Team) and I shot a random selection of Council Members (those who we could find in between meetings) to provide us with a 30 second snapshop of what APC meant to them.

Here’s a rough cut that’s yet to be further trimmed, titled, etc.

The Building an Australian Commons conference will be held on Tuesday 24th June 2008 from 8.30am – 5pm at the State Library of Queensland, South Brisbane, and is hosted by Creative Commons Australia with the support of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation and the State Library of Queensland. I will be performing at the ccSalon with the Terminal Quartet and present on a roundtable discussion exploring the possibilities for music under Creative Commons in Australia.

Thanks to the efforts of APC colleagues, Karen Banks and Natasha Primo, I’ll be participating in this years iCommons Summit in Sappora, Japan. This year I’ll be involved in a couple of video projects and ongoing input into the development of Creative Commons rights management resources for screen practitioners.

We are a versatile crew here at apc.au. No sooner had we wrapped the second VIDEO SLAM, bundled off the remaining artwork for my next album, refined schedules for the community video project in Sarawak and prepared materials for the next performance of the Terminal Quartet at the Australian Commons Conference in Brisbane, that we’re preparing a wiki training course!

It will be the second I’ve run and this one I’m very excited about. We’re hosting a wiki for the Cultural Development Network’s Arts and Disabilities Research Project. This is a government funded project which, aside from the research itself, will provide a bench case for use of wiki’s within government funded research and government in general.

The training will be based on existing tutorials (no need to invent that perfect wheel) and will be conducted over two hours at Horse Bazaar.
