Hello John!


Happy July! 
 

What an incredible few weeks we've had at Creative Commons. June gave us many highlights: 

🇧🇪  CC in Brussels—we hosted a reception in Brussels to mark the 20th anniversary of the licenses and a hybrid roundtable discussion dedicated to the EU Data Act

📝  CC CEO Catherine Stihler penned a commentary on How and why the EU’s Data Act will have an impact beyond European borders.

🗽  CC in New York City—CC CEO Catherine Stihler, Chris J. Lewis (Public Knowledge), and Briana Marbury (Interledger Foundation) led a discussion on how public interest organizations are taking the lead in creating a better Internet for sharing open knowledge and culture.
⭐  CC co-founder Lawrence Lessig hosted some of the CC team and others at a special dinner for open friends as we embark on the next 20 years of CC licenses and advancing Better Sharing.

✊  CC’s Director of Open Culture and Policy, Brigitte Vézina, represented CC with a lightning talk ⚡️ on better sharing of cultural heritage at RightsCon 2022.

🎥  The CC Open Culture VOICES Vlog, a multilingual series of short interviews with dozens of open GLAM experts from around the world, released its 35th and final episode on 2 June.  

📚  We rounded off the month with CC's Director of Open Knowledge Cable Green representing Creative Commons in three sessions during the United Nations Transforming Education Pre-Summit. (See Cable’s slides
