Free Culture @ NYU

I’m very excited to announce the second Creative Commons Salon in New York City:

CC Salon is a free, casual monthly get-together focused on conversation, presentations, and performances from people or groups who are developing projects that relate to open content and/or software. Please invite your friends, colleagues, and anyone you know who might be interested in drinks and discussion. There are now CC Salons happening in San Francisco, Toronto, Berlin, Beijing, Warsaw, Seoul, Johannesburg, and now New York

CC Salon New York City this Friday, NOV 17th, 6:30pm at Fontana’s

This salon features Megan Miller from PopSci.com who will be discussing and presenting Popular Science’s recent foray into the digital world known as Second Life. Tim Schwartz from the Museum of the Moving Image will also be joining us and discussing the recent projects and digital exhibitions at his museum.

So drop by on Friday for some cheap drinks ($3 drafts and well drinks), and come ready to talk about the Commons in NYC. This is the last salon of the year, as our December salon is combined with a special birthday party for Creative Commons on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15th.

• Megan Miller from PopSci.com

  Megan will be discussing and presenting Popular Science’s recent foray into the digital world known as Second Life, which includes a rock concert and the creation of an all new PopSci.com Lounge. Megan is the editor of PopSci.com, the Web site for Popular Science magazine. She’s the host of a Web show called Future Girl, as well as hostess-with-the-mostest of events at PopSci’s new Second Life Lounge. You can find her in-world by looking up her Second Life avatar, Megala Marx. In the real world, you’re likely to find her cycling around New York City or indulging her handbag-purchasing addiction.

• Tim Schwartz of The Museum of the Moving ImageTim will be presenting some of the Museum of the Moving Image’s recent exhibitions and talking about his work as a digital curator.

We’re having it at on Friday, November 17th, from 6:3pm-10pm at Fontana’s, 105 Eldridge St. between Broome and Grand in the Lower East Side..

See you then!
