It started as a response to an open invitation in one of the last paragraphs of e-mailed newsletter from cc-info AT lists DOT ibiblio DOT org — managed by Ms. Melissa Reeder, Development Manager, Creative Commons headquarters (CC HQ) in San Francisco, California, USA — which stated “This newsletter is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ — please share and remix!” (emphasis mine)

The primary motivation of CC Philippines, in the creation of the unofficial newsletter PDFs, then was that, as part of CC advocacy, the CC Newsletter might be extended to cater to those (who have Internet access) who may want to distribute the material (when printed) to those who might not have Internet access.

Coming out with a cover, incorporating the articles provided as hyperlinks in the emailed newsletter, and assembling these in a single publication — the unofficial PDF version of the CC Newsletter, for issue #5, was released by CC Philippines in February 2008. CC Philippines notified Ms. Michelle Thorne of Creative Commons International (which is based in Berlin, Germany; and to which CC Philippines reports to as per license porting), as to the existence of the said PDF version. The intent was more of a concept proposal, albeit unsolicited, through an unofficial prototype.

Not wasting the momentum available in creating the Issue #5 unofficial PDF at that time, the unofficial PDF versions for Issues #1 to 4 were created, just to complete the series, within the next couple of weeks. The completed PDFs were merely attached to the original Issue #5 post as they were subsidiary creations. Ms. Thorne reported the availability of the retroactively created PDFs on March 2008.

The development of CC Newsletter #6, starting late March 2008, brought about the active collaboration of CC Philippines in the creation of official PDF newsletters, with the intercession of Ms. Thorne. Ms. Reeder of CC HQ spearheaded the project, and since Issue #6 featured Creative Commons International (CCi), Ms. Thorne of CCi provided inputs, especially on the articles related to CCi. CC Philippines provided the cover and the initial layout, while Mr. Alex Roberts of CC HQ modified the draft publication and finalized the PDF. Issue #6 was released on April 2008.

Issue #7 (June 2008) featured Science Commons, with additional inputs provided by Kaitlin Thaney and Ani Sittig. Issue #8 (August 2008) featured Culture Commons. Both issues followed the development similar to Issue #6.

Ms. Allison Domicone, Development Assistant at CC HQ, was introduced as the primary coordinator of the CC Newsletter by late August 2008. Issue #9 (October 2008) featured the 2008 Creative Commons fundraising campaign “Build the Commons.” Mr. Roberts provided both the final cover and final layout of the said issue.

Recently, a new format was initiated by CC HQ, with CC Philippines collaborating in the draft layout, debuting with Issue #10 (December 2008), featuring ccLearn.

With the release of the tenth issue, CC Philippines has been in pace with six bi-monthly releases of the CC Newsletter, five officially, concluding the first annual cycle of its participation in such endeavor. It continues to look forward in contributing to the next ones.
