Creative Commons turns five -- global birthday parties planned in many cities

The Creative Commons licenses turn five years old in December and they're having parties all over the world to celebrate! The main one, in San Francisco, is on Dec 15 from 10PM to 2AM, at the Terra Gallery at 511 Harrison Street.

My first novel was the first book released under a CC license, which means that my novel-writing career is turning five in January. Time sure flies! Link

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

We’ll be starting the celebrations in style in Brisbane, Australia (naturally with a good ‘down under’ bbq). Now to select the ccMixter soundtrack :) Look out for cc-licensed photos on Flickr!
