Social Media Club Wiki - PWD is media / Project: Industry Standards

Encourage Adoption of Industry Standards

Jon Gatrell is leading our efforts to leverage our collective expertise to further promote key industry standards such as Creative Commons, Open ID, Data Portability and others. He will be posting more on this project in the weeks ahead. In principle it would be great if we could do work along the lines of what Chris Messina (et al) did with Spread Firefox - find ways to explain these key standards to more everyday folks, business decision makers and others.

The first project will be in support of Creative Commons. We would like to propose a Creative Commons Awareness Day, where everyone participating writes a quick blog post about what CC means to them, how to explain it to others, what are some examples of things they have been able to do more easily because of having access to creative commons content and the challenges they have faced by people not honoring their requests for attribution etc... (there is some bad with the good, lets be honest). We would also put together a chipin widget or something to help raise some money for their efforts.
