Creative Commons Vice President Mike Linksvayer at NELIC!
Sorry about the delay in posting, dear readers! We’ve been busily cranking away at getting some final speakers into place for our panels and spreading the word about the conference (with a quick trip out to the annual SXSW Interactive festival in between), so just now getting a chance to drop an update out to the blog.
Today, glad to be back on track filling out our already awesome list of panelists. Specifically, glad to announce that the Vice President of Creative Commons Mike Linksvayer will be joining our panel on designing legal interfaces! Creative Commons is a San Francisco-based nonprofit that supports a permissive copyright licensing framework that allows people to freely share and remix media.
The design of their licensing framework and their dead-simple copyright deed generator are premiere examples of what can be done in assembling streamlined “human-readable” interfaces for non-lawyers to easily manage the law and legal transactions. He’ll be talking about CC’s approaches to user experience on this front, and its massive impact worldwide.
We’re thrilled to have him on the panel. Schedule updated, stay tuned for more tomorrow!
