TIm Hwang, Greg Grossmeire, Frank Tobia, Steren Giannini and I(Brian Rowe) are all blogging the Creative Commons Tech Summit. The blog address is http://techblog.creativecommons.org/
Here is the first post:
CC’s CEO Joi Ito kicked off the festivities with an admittedly-stretched but wholly acceptable metahpor: comparing the internet’s early battle to promote TCP/IP adoption with our present battles to promote CC’s adoption. Joi sees CC as a means of creating a path from a completely closed to a completely open world.
There are two pieces of the framework: the legal and technical piece, and the political piece. This distinction is paramount. Says Joi, “We can’t exclude people on the technology level. … We want Republicans using it.. we want everyone using it.”
