The theme for the SF salon will be “CC and Citizen Journalism,” and we are very excited about the presenters we’ve got lined up:

From Wikinews: Volunteer Coordinator Cary Bass and Bay Area “Wikinewsie” volunteer Jon Davis will talk about their experience at Wikinews, a global citizen journalism effort and project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

From Spot.us: David Cohn, who has been involved with myriad citizen journalism projects, the likes of which include NewAssignment.net and his current endeavor, Spot.us - a project of the nonprofit Center for Media Change - that allows an individual or group to take control of news by sharing the cost (crowdfunding) to commission freelance journalists.

DJ qubitsu will provide the music!

We hope you’ll join us for what is sure to be a great evening of exploring the ways in which CC helps facilitate citizen news and media outlets - vital resources for sustaining a healthy culture of sharing!
