Sunday night I went up to 111 Minna Gallery for Creative Commons's one year anniversary bash. It's inspiring to see how people are using the cc licenses, but for me also fun to meet, in the flesh, people like Diane Cabell from the Berkman Center, Mary Hodder from Boalt and the Samuelson Clinic, and Benjamen Walker, as well as auld acquaintances.
