Shiny happy Creative Commons people

Creative Commons SA were pleased to host their partners from Creative Commons UK and Brazil over a week-long visit, during which time there was a lot of laughter, debate, arguing and creating.

Christian Ahlert, project lead for Creative Commons UK, Hannah Upritchard, administrator on a number of the UK projects, and Carolina Rossini from Brazil, were invited to South Africa by Heather Ford, SA’s project lead and Kerryn McKay for a working meeting around the OpenBusiness collaborative project which is currently unfolding in all 3 jurisdictions.

During the week, the team had the opportunity to spend a day lecturing to the LINK Centre’s masters class for Management in ICT Policy and Regulation. The team also presented an overview of the OpenBusiness project and findings-to-date at a public seminar held at the Wits Graduate School of Public & Development Management (P&DM).

The discussion sessions that the team had around the OpenBusiness project were highly beneficial in terms of agreeing structures, processes and outputs.

In between intense meetings and brainstorming sessions, the team also had a chance to get out and about, and spent one evening at the African-inspired restaurant, Moyo in Melrose Arch, trendy eating spot in Johannesburg, South Africa.
