Bristol Campaigning Guide now licensed under Creative Commons

8th September 2006

Version 2 of the Bristol Campaigning Guide has now been produced.

It has guidance and examples of how any community group can start and run a campaign.

After some gentle lobbying inspired by a lunch I had with Duane at Fairsay they agreed to release this version of the guide under a creative commons licence, so other people can use the content to suit their own needs.

This is very progressive of them. Not many public sector organisations think to use CC, but there is a compelling idea here that public information, paid for by public money, needs to be “open” in a way that normal copyright doesn’t allow.

Hopefully it will encourage others to do the same.

At the moment, I only have hard copies of the new guide, but I will post up links to the electronic guide as soon as it is available.

UPDATE: The new guide is available for download on this site.
