BBC Creative Archive event in London next Thu (28th)

(just in case anyone didn't spot this on BoingBoing) 

- the BBC seem to have quite a lot to do with the UK versions of the
Creative Commons licenses, this may go help to explain why...

Since Greg Dyke first announced the BBC's intention, in 2001, to give
access to some of the BBC's huge archive there has been fevered speculation
about the implementation and boundaries of this exciting, world-leading idea. 

Using a computer, the British public will be able to download programming
and programming excerpts at no cost. The hope is that this material will
then be used to fuel their own creative endeavours, which will in turn be
shared - creating new content from old. 

It is a bold project, with many obstacles to conquer. 

Cut through the hype - come and hear the facts from Paula LeDieu, joint
director of the BBC Creative Archive project. 

Paula's presentation will be followed by Q&A. 

Speaker: Paula LeDieu, joint-director, BBC Creative Archive
Host: Simon Perry, publisher, Digital Lifestyles
