Thank you for visiting the 2nd CC global conference, "Open for Innovation".
The conference, following CC Korea's "the 1st CC global conference" held 2 years ago, introduced CC open movements as 4 factors including government, education, business, and art sessions.
The purpose of the last conference was for dealing with the current situation on each part at that time, but this conference was focused on sharing the experience achieved from developed cases and increasing our insight for the further development.
The conference began with an opening movie (Link) produced by a CC Korea volunteer, Artjin, and there were welcoming remarks of Jungwuk Seo (Director of CC Korea) and congratulatory remarks of Byongkyu Kang (Minister of Public Administration and Security of Korea).
Joichi Ito, Creative Commons CEO, had an opening keynote [PT material] explaining the history of the Internet on political and cultural issues and dealing with Creative Commons' movements to support diversity based on network neutrality.
Giorgos Cheliotis from CC Singapore presented the current status on CC license usage in the world. According to the presentation, the content using CC license in the world is expected over 185 million. Korea is a country using CCL frequently, but most of the contents apply to limited BY-NC-ND license.
Jay Yoon, a project lead of CC Korea, explained the value of CC Korea based on the shared open concept among contents, volunteer, and community. He gave us a message "with YOU" to develop the open concept.
Daum communications [PT material] and Naver [PT material] , well-known Web portals in Korea, introduced their difficulties in searching CC contents and their trials for using more CC contents on the Web.
Each session is a professional knowledge-based field. However, the lasting interaction between CC activists including session planers, a moderator, and presenters made the conference solid.
The final keynote [PT material] presented by Dr. Lessig suggested our introspection for innovation based on Apple cases. Apple has drawn ourstanding innovation under the control, but cultural innovation requires open, even if technological innovation has been well achieved by limited open.
CC Korea believes our efforts heading for opening will let public have innovative mind in sharing contents. In coming years, we will have meaningful events for thinking about open. Please pay attention to our activities continuously.
