Supporting the Commons: Jesse Dylan and Richard Bookman<\/a>:
\n[Via Science Commons<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Today, we are proud to announce the release of Science Commons’ first informational video<\/a>. The video was directed by renowned director Jesse Dylan<\/a>, the director of the Emmy- award winning “Yes We Can”<\/a> Barack Obama campaign video with musical artist will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas. The video can also be seen on the front of sciencecommons.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I believe Science Commons represents the true aspiration of the web, and I wanted to tell their story,” Dylan said. “They’ve changed the way we think about exploration and discovery; the important and innovative ideas need to be shared. I believe it’s vital to revolutionizing science in the future. I hope this is just the beginning of our collaboration.”<\/p>\n

This video is launched in conjunction with a letter of support from Richard Bookman<\/a>, the Vice Provost for Research and Executive Dean for Research and Research Training at the University of Miami. Bookman joins a group of esteemed Commons supporters featured in this year’s “Commoner Letter” series, including this year: Eben Moglen of the Software Freedom Law Center and Columbia University, Renata Avila – CC Guatemala Project Lead, and singer\/songwriter Jonathan Coulton. More information and an archive of past letters can be found at http:\/\/support.creativecommons.org\/letters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his letter<\/a>, Bookman writes:<\/p>\n

“We need to find ways to make sharing research results and tools easy, trackable, and useable by scientists on a day-to-day basis. Science Commons is working on these problems in a way that few other projects contemplate: they don’t write papers, they release “running code” like contracts for sharing biological materials and open contracts for biological tools like stem cells and genetically modified mice. […]<\/p>\n

I support SC\/CC because I think it’s the right approach at the right time. It’s vital that we as a community support the organization – the interstitial nature of what gets done at CC makes it harder than many might think to raise money, which can leave the most important work dying for lack of funds.<\/p>\n

I hope everyone in the community can dig deep and support CC during this campaign. When you support CC, whether because of the cultural work, or the education work, or the science work, you’re supporting an organization that is much more than contracts and websites and videos. You’re supporting an umbrella organization working around the world that lives and breathes the \u201csome rights reserved\u201d philosophy.”<\/p>\n

Our thanks to Jesse Dylan, Professor Bookman, and the broader CC community for their ongoing support. For more information about the campaign, or to show your support, visit http:\/\/support.creativecommons.org<\/a>. Every little bit counts. Help support the Commons.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Science Commons has a very strong role to play in getting scientists to actively develop the web in ways that can benefit everyone, including themselves. In particular, <\/em>Health Commons<\/a><\/em> is a project that may provide a place for biologists to ‘remix’ their data in profound ways. If we can only get them to think about the Commons in the pursuit of their work.
