After the Holiday season I'd like to start having Austin Salons for Creative Commons
see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Salon for what I'm talking about
"CC Salon is a free, casual monthly get-together focused on conversation, presentations, and performances from people or groups who are developing projects that relate to open content and/or software. Please invite your friends, colleagues, and anyone you know who might be interested in drinks and discussion."

There is now a general discussion group for Austinites wanting to support the Creative Commons
http://groups.google.com/group/ccaustin

If anyone is interested in helping organize the Salons let me know.  I may take on planning small every other month ones - we can make it more frequent and larger if other organizers join on (or hosting venues volunteer up front).  Let me know directly if you are interested in organizing efforts.

Forward this and spread the word!  I hope to have the first one in February.  That should give us plenty of time to get off to a good start.
