Emory Free Culture

We met at 7PM in Cox Hall Classroom A.

Software Freedom Day is September 16th, but we will hold our event on the 15th to reach more students. We need people to commit to doing a range of things

Before:
Design flyers and distribute them to academic buildings and residence halls
Burn copies of Ubuntu CDs (which also includes Windows software)
Print handouts (the files to print will be posted on LearnLink)
Provide laptops for software demonstration
Make press calls (faxed releases will go out the 11th)

Day of:
Setup the table in the Coke Commons
Man the display in shifts from 10AM to 2PM

October 3rd is the Defective by Design campaign’s Day Against DRM, which we definitely want to participate in. We’ll watch here for ideas and also come up with our own. This might be a good use of the “decoder rings” we received from EFF.

We are interested in showing a series of films such as Alternative Freedom, Steal this Film, and Revolution OS. We’ll look into locations and prices for doing this on campus.

We decided that using editable documents on Learnlink was no longer meeting our collaboration needs and are evaluating wiki hosts.

We have an idea for a collaborative art project and will be fleshing that out and contacting arts groups.

We still need to collect dues, hold elections, and settle on a regular meeting place and time.
