Peer to Peer University (p2pu.org) is a project run by friends and allies of Creative Commons South Africa.
p2pu is conducting an enquiry into which copyright licence it should use for content hosted on its web-sites (www.p2pu.org and blogs.p2pu.org). P2PU needs someone to assist in running the enquiry.

If you volunteer for the job then you will:

-> draft the invitational email with help from P2PU leaders;

-> send the invitational email out to selected experts and allies, including some very interesting and colourful characters in the open education movement;

-> correspond with respondents;

-> collect the responses;

-> collate the responses in a well formated pdf document;

-> load the responses on to the p2pu website.

Respondents will be asked to draft a single page on the question; what is the best copyright licence for p2pu to use on its websites? Respondents will be asked to focus on the single licence which they consider best and on the single argument for using that licence which they consider most pertinent and powerful.

You will be

-> energetic,

-> keen to learn,

-> interested in open licences and open education materials,

-> based at the University of Cape Town, or at least in Cape Town,

-> unpaid.

Time Scale: September to early November 2009, most of the work will be in September and October 2009.

Interested? Send email to thepeople@p2pu.org, with subject line, The Licensing Discussion.

P.S. p2pu is also looking for tech support volunteers.
