Creative Commons Turns 5: Celebrate at Found Gallery

Found Gallery is throwing a "surprise" birthday party for Creative Commons tomorrow night as part of a worldwide celebration of CC's fifth birthday.

[O]ur friends at Found LA have decided to get together and throw us a party at their amazing gallery in Silverlake (Google Map here), with free drinks and a cake to boot. It goes from 8PM - 10PM this Saturday (12/15) and is bound to be a blast - there are some CC shenanigans in store and it will be great opportunity to meet up with those engaged in the CC-community in the LA area.

Here at LAist, we appreciate and utilize Creative Commons licenses on a daily basis. That's reason enough for you -- as a reader of this blog -- to celebrate with CC tomorrow night.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
