CC Salon is happening tomorrow - Wednesday, August 9th - from 6-9pm at Shine in San Francisco. CC Salon is a free, casual monthly get-together focused on conversation, networking, and presentations from people or groups who are developing projects that relate to open content and tools. CC Salon SF is now being presented in conjunction with CopyNight SF.

This month's line-up of speakers includes Hemai Parthasarathy and Barbara Cohen of the Public Library of Science, Owen Byrne of Digg, and John Buckman of Magnatune. Shannon Coulter will be DJing a set of CC music from Magnatune's catalogue.

I trust the Blackboard elearning patent has hit the CC Salon SF radar. Much edublog activity noted by Stephen Downes here: http://www.downes.ca/blackboard_patent.htm (and in my own small way, here: http://my-world.typepad.com/rworld/2006/08/bad_day_at_blac.html). We (I think I can speak for more than just myself) are very concerned about the impact of Bb's action on innovation and academic freedom. Tim Stahmer makes the point that "these events creat[e] the potential for a relatively small number of companies, with government blessing, to control the web."
