So would you be interested in setting up/maintaining a Remix London? We
would give you the code, help you find server space, and lots of tips/advice
on a remix project. Also any improvements you made to the code, could feed
back into any of the other remix projects round the country.

We could have inter-city remix competitions, and make it easy to link each
site to the others, as well as many other ideas. We'll talk more about it on
1st June.

-------------------

the workshop at goldsmiths college on the first of june initiates a society "liquidculture" at goldsmiths college see http://www.liquidculture.info and as such aims to participate in the freeculture.org movement. so yes, liquidculture.info is a "chapter"...

If any Free Culture groups did start up, we could give them the code to Remix Reading, so they could start up their own local remixing projects. At the moment, we are planning Remix Brighton. When we roll that out, it will be very easy for other people to do the same in their own areas. However, remix projects need local people to maintain it/do events - Maybe we could tie in Free Culture Groups (if any form) with local remix projects in the UK?

As many on the list may know a grassroots group called Free Culture
started up in the US a year ago (http://www.freeculture.org/). They're
student run and have been very successful at organizing activism around
copyright issues and in doing interesting projects at the intersection
of culture, art and the law.

Activity has also been growing here in the UK (for example
remixreading,the recent musiccommons event, another upcoming event at
Goldsmiths, as well all the interest around the Creative Archive). This
has led several people (many of them on this list) to suggest the
setting up of a Free Culture group here in the UK (an idea, in fact
first mooted a year ago but never acted upon). This group would, I
assume, be linked back to the Free Culture group in the US (which is

now

international) but autonomous in most major respects. It would also
follow the US model of having a limited central organization with
individual 'chapters' based say at Universities, linked back that.

Is there anyone who would be interested in helping start such a group
here in the UK? What other comments are there on this idea? All

feedback

would be welcome.

Regards,

Rufus
