Regarding this workshop, it sounds very interesting but for many of us who work during the day, it will be virtually impossible to get there for 5pm.

Would you please take this factor into consideration in relation to the timetabling of future workshops? (unless of course you're planning to make it student-only)

I'd be interested to know, are there many others who like me would like to attend - but can't because of the start time?

(By the way if anyone wants to read more on the Copyfighters London May meet (Drunken Brunch/Talking Shop), I've written it up at http://consumingexperience.blogspot.com/2005/05/copyfighters-london-15-may-2005.html)

Cheers, and I hope that someone will be reporting on the outcome of the workshop as I'd like to hear all about it.

Imp.

Liquid Culture 5.06

Creative Commons, Free Culture and Free Software: Workshop

organized by LiquidCulture

Wednesday 1st June 2005, 5-7pm, Venue: room MB137 (Main

Building)

Admission is free, but please register in advance at

http://liquidculture.info/5.06/register

Sharing, remixing and developing culture, ideas and

communication - the Goldsmiths experience.

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

The workshop will also host the launch of the Goldsmiths

College's Free Culture local chapter - the first chapter of

the Free Culture students movement outside the USA!

The Creative Commons project (creativecommons.org) builds

upon the "all rights reserved" of traditional copyright to

create a voluntary "some rights reserved" copyright. Artists

and authors choose to set free their creative works for

certain uses, thus contributing to the Creative Commons

environment while retaining some rights on their own work.

Instead of creating artificial barriers in the access to

culture, Creative Commons artists and authors contribute to

an inclusive, non-discriminatory and distributed creative

environment where creativity can coexist with economic

exploitation, now free from the increasingly restrictive

default copyright rules that benefit only the big

oligopolistic media corporations. With a voluntary,

libertarian and democratic contribution to the Creative

Commons artists and authors continuously reshape and develop

the global cultural environment to the benefit of the

community and not of a few media companies, thus getting

back much more than what they contribute.

 

Sharing and remixing of creative works is made easier by

Free Software tools for content creation, editing and

publishing; the freedom to run those software applications

for any purpose, to adapt them to specific needs and to

freely redistribute them for others to use or extend even

more is a central element to the cultural richness,

diversity and evolution of the Creative Commons environment.

 

The *Liquid Culture 5.06* workshop is a starting point for

the review of existing free culture and free software work

at Goldsmiths College and for further development and

coordination between efforts in the various departments,

centres and units, and it will be followed by broader

symposia in the coming months, focused on topics such as the

economic viability of free software and free culture, the

gift economy, collective intelligence and participatory

politics.
