Creative Commons and Free Culture Technologies
In my part of the Turning Communicatons Technologies Into Tools For Free Speech And Free Culture session I'll cover:
- Technologies that enable free, participatory, sustainable, democratic culture
- Threats to the full flowering of these technologies
- Free culture as free speech and vice versa
- Creative Commons legal and technical tools
- How your nonprofit can leverage CC and other technologies to spread its message and involve its constituency
For an introduction to Creative Commons please visit the Creative Commons home page and in particular watch the five minute intro Get Creative.
Ears Open. Mouth Closed
What am I bringing to the conference? Open ears. Open mind. Closed mouth. Okay. I won't keep my mouth closed for the whole time, but I intend to do a lot more active listening than monologuing. I'll do the monologue here:
What else will I bring? Some book knowledge of the Millennial generation and a little experience in marketing to them in a higher education setting.
My experience? I have a little volunteer experience. Some experience in building and maintaining online communities. Some experience enabling citizen journalism (circa 1997). Some exeperience in the .Gov world; some in the .Edu world. I have ZERO experience in real programming, but I've been living and working online since 1993.
