National FreeCulture.org Conference.
Wednesday, 05.16.2007 – Category: News
The Free Culture.org National Conference to be held on Saturday, May 26, in Austin Hall at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.
Registration is still open and free of charge. Please email us or reply to the Facebook Event to register. Housing is also still available, but please email ASAP to secure it.
The schedule is below. We will provide lunch and a snack, but dinners will be split by attendees. We still may have some additional speakers, but the format is fairly solidified.
The “Chapter/Project/Group Reports” will be informal, 5 minute “lightning-style” talks. We ask that each chapter in attendance make one of these talks. The Project/Group portion is for anyone that is working on an FC-related project or with an FC-related group and would like to give a 5 minute intro. Please think about these, as we’ll have a sign up sheet for them at the beginning of the event. Also please think about which workshops you’d like to attend, as we’ll split up into those groups at the event as well.
Here’s the full schedule:
