The 4th edition of BarCamp Bangalore took place at the prestigious Indian Institute of Management at Bangalore on July 28th & 29th, 2007.
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants.
Over 500 folks gathered at the two day unconference to share and learn from each other. To me, the event carries the spirit that embodies Creative Commons. So, its natural that one of the subjects of discussion was on Creative Commons.
The reality is that not many in India are aware of Creative Commons. Some of the folks have heard the term but don't know what it stands for or the advantages. If there's anything that needs to be done, it is to spread the awareness. BarCamps are good places to do just that. The event attracts many passionate folks, bloggers and members of the press and they play an important role in spreading information about Creative Commons.
TempoStand, a platform to promote independent musicians, announced their plans at the event. Gaurav Dhobal, one of the founders talked about their project and how they use Creative Commons in their work.
TempoStand is a platform to promote independent musicians in India. They started their journey from Ahmedabad from 15th April, 2007. Musicians and singers are invited to record the music for free (no hidden costs) and use a creative commons license for the music. TempoStand’s objective is to promote independent musicians and take their music across the world.
