New Annual Report and Strategy Document

Creative Commons has grown tremendously since we started. As we approached the milestone of our10th birthday在新的首席执行官上任后,我们开始对我们的进展和优先事项进行密集审查。有时你需要用大的里程碑来停下来看看你在哪里,偶尔你会发现为了满足眼前的需求而做出的决定并不总是能够满足长期的目标。世界变化很快,为了保持效率,CC需要做的不仅仅是跟上潮流。

During our review, we spent a lot of time asking questions and listening to our Affiliate Network members around the world. We hired some consultants to help run a process and to talk to people outside of the organization about how they viewed the role of Creative Commons. As navel-gazing goes, we gave it a solid effort. We also realized how important it is to declare our mission, vision, and priorities for action. The resulting publication,The Future of Creative Commons(2.7 MB PDF), lays out priorities for each area in which we work. These overall priorities are already guiding staff in how they use their time and set targets for each program area. They also give us a good base to measure how well we are doing.

As a companion piece, we offer this annual report,Dispatches from the Commons. In it, we call out some of the big accomplishments of the past year and highlight organizations and people who are doing powerful and innovative things with our licenses.

评估我们在世界上的地位和预测我们未来的雄心的整个过程反复提醒我们,我们是多么依赖支持者、盟友和朋友。卡塔尔vs葡萄牙分析知识共享是一个小型的工作人员,通过我们的附属机构和一个由开放倡导者、志愿者和创造者组成的全球社区连接到整个世界。只有在一起,我们才是知识共享。卡塔尔vs葡萄牙分析你是一个强大的改变引擎,似乎运行在无限供应的可再生能源!

We hope that this strategy document and annual report help you understand where CC is headed and where you can play a role. Thanks for your sharing. Thanks for your support. Thanks for coming along on this amazing ride.

  1. Congratulations with the 10th birthday and all that you have achieved! The idea of an open culture does sound good in our ears, and there is no doubt that the Internet is the perfect place to start. A digital copy does not cost anything to make, which means that more people than ever are able to enjoy the work and art of other people. Isn’t democracy about being able to live, learn and love even if your financial income is low? Humans have always shared with each other. Sharing – and having the freedom to give – is so valuable in any culture that want to bloom and grow. We still have a long way to go, and we should not be afraid of trying, failing, correcting and developing these ideas further. I am concerned about protecting art and the rights of the artist, too. As I spend a lot of time and money composing and recording my own music, I hope there will be even more security in the future than it was in the past. I love the Creative Commons’ philosophy that because I am the creator of my own work, I am the one who should decide if I want to share my work for free, for a fee – or like we see some web sites are already are practicing: let the listener pay what he or she wants to pay (www.bandcamp.com). Creative Commons = Democracy!

  2. 所取得的成就令人惊叹。1996年,我们在相对无知的情况下,为澳大利亚信息系统会议(Australasian Conference on Information Systems)的论文起草了一个相当于抄送BY的段落(看,解释起来多么容易!)今天,有一个经过深思熟虑的方案,可以满足几乎每一个突发事件(好吧,我想不出任何!),使这个任务例行公事,并清楚地理解各方。在知识共享的旗帜下,这是一个了不起的进步。卡塔尔vs葡萄牙分析

  4. Dear Sir,
    Greetings. As I have been associating myself with the Net forum on OER ever since 2002 when the IIEP, Paris organized such a Forum on OER. Hence, I am every sure, the Creative Commons current publication would be immensely helpful to all who have been enthusiastically responding to invitations coming from elsewhere.

  5. I know and understand that my country Indonesia is used to be labelled as one of “piracy” country. But, thanks to this Creative Commons make us see an opportunity to elaborate and exchange a lot of things, licensed around the globe.

    I would like this opportunity to share, that we plan to use the license, CC among to all of our product such as a student text book and else…
