Philippine Commons

CC is turning 5 and to celebrate we’re throwing a party. We, in Creative Commons Philippines, are also taking the opportunity to soft launch the finished Creative Commons Philippine jurisdictional licenses, and the Philippine Commons, on the same event. The latter is a prelude to the formal launching of the licenses and the Philippine Commons in January 2008.

The event will be held at the Arellano University School of Law, Taft Avenue corner Menlo Street, Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines at about 2:00 p.m. on 15 December 2007.
