With the generous support of ictQATAR, Creative Commons will co-host next week two important events in Doha, Qatar.
The first one, "Digitally Open", is a forum about creativity, openness and innovation featuring keynote speakers as CC CEO Joichi Ito, Mozilla Foundation Chairperson Mitchell Baker and the Google "open source man", Chris di Bona. The forum is the first one ever in the Arab region addressing how innovation can thrive in the digital age through sharing and openness. It will highlight "best practises" of the use of CC licenses within governments like India and the Netherlands and in fields like art and education (presented by Eric Steur, Creative director at CC) and science and technology (presented by John Wilbanks, Vice President for Science at CC).
An "hands on" workshop on open source development will be lead by Bassel Safadi and the fabricatorz team with the kind support of Mahmoud Abu Wardeh and Issa Mashaneh from the Jordan Open Source Association.
Thanks to the great support of ICT Qatar, Doha will also host the Second Creative Commons Regional Arab meeting. Official CC affiliates from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon will be joining, together with many supportive lawyers and community people from Jordan, the UAE and Qatar. Many issues will be discussed concerning the future development of CC communities in the Arab world. If you are interested to be updated concerning the follow ups of this meeting, join the discussion with the wider Pan Arab community by subscribing the CC Arab world list at http://groups.google.com/group/cc-arab-world/post

A CC Iftar is a social event which gathers people to celebrate the breaking of the Ramadan fast, socialize and talk about innovation, creativity, openness in the web. CC Iftar is brought to you in partnership with Aramex.
Instead of simply ?consuming? content and media, CC iftar aims at cross-pollinating ideas and producing new stuff by creating the opportunity to meet cool people who have worked out innovative projects in the domain of social media and open web.
CC Iftar is primarily a social gathering where people meet up to consume a nice iftar meal all together, get to know new people, enlarge their social networks and capitalize for new ideas to come in the future.
The meeting is cozy, informal and community based. It is not a conference or a speech to be delivered, it can be a ?light talk?, an interactive presentation, a film screening, a dj set.
It is a networking event where to meet new cool people working in the field of creativity and innovation.
We would like to make a shift from ?consuming? content to ?producing? content.
?Consuming? only stays for the iftar meal:)
Check out which cities in the Arab world are hosting a CC Iftar and how you could join it!
