Fred sez,



Students for Free Culture has organized a grassroots conference for, and about free culture, technology, copyright, remixing, and free software. Because most students have a fall break, we've booked it for Columbus Day weekend (October 11th and 12th) at Berkeley, University of California. We're launching the conference's site today and opening registration.

We'll have keynotes by Lawrence Lessig, Pam Samuelson, and John Lilly of Mozilla.

Day 1 will be public panels and presentations in conjunction with the keynotes, and Day 2 will be workshops, team building, and learning about effective activism.

We're doing a pay-what-you-feel system reminiscent of the one made famous by Radiohead and Girl Talk, but with one extra twist: ours also shows publicly what the average amount paid is, and right now it is around $27.

Finally, we have raised money in order to fly students in active chapters out to Berkeley for the conference, so if you're interested in attending and have registered your chapter with Students for Free Culture, please book your flights now and visit our Travel page for more information.

Take a look at the schedule, or register now.

Thanks and see you in a month!
