Harvard Free Culture is helping to organize this years’ National Free Culture Conference — the meeting for North American Free Culture student groups. The whole shindig is planned for May 26, 2007 at Harvard University here in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The schedule is solidifying and I will presenting and arguing for adoption or support of the Free Cultural Works Definition within the FC student movement and probably also be talking about community building and advocacy in some free software groups I’ve worked with.
Housing is available and the event is open to the public. If you’d like to attend, speak, or help out with the conference, please email freeculture@hcs.harvard.edu or check out the Facebook event.
If you’re on the fence about attending, you can read this glowing endorsement of the conference by high protectionist James DeLong at IP Central.
See you there. I might even end up talking about something. :-)
I note that James DeLong is completely off-base, at least in my case. I didn’t grow up privileged — quite the opposite; I care about free culture in part because if I hadn’t had easy access to things to read, my life might have turned out very different.
