Mako has just blogged this about the conference (which i've been helping to organize!): On the weekend of April 20-21, Students for Free Culture is going to be holding its annual conference, FCX2013, at New York Law School in New York City. As a long-time SFC supporter and member, I am enormously proud to be giving the opening keynote address. Although the program for Sunday is still shaping up, the published Saturday schedule looks great. If previous years are any indication, the conference can serve as an incredible introduction to free culture, free software, wikis, remixing, copyright, patent and trademark reform, and participatory culture. For folks that are already deeply involved, FCX is among the best places I know to connect with other passionate, creative, people working on free culture issues. I’ve been closely following and involved with SFC for years and I am particularly excited about the group that is driving the organization forward this year. If you will be in or near New York that weekend — or if you can make the trip — you should definitely try to attend. FCX2013 is pay what you can with a $15 suggested donation. You can register online now. Travel assistance — especially for members of active SFC chapters — may still be available. I hope to see you there! via: http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/students-for-free-culture-conference-fcx2013 It's coming up pretty soon, but I wanted to ping everyone about it again to see if anyone is able to go. Also, if you have a blog, or some social media profile (reddit, twitter, statusnet, tumblr) would you be willing to help spread the word about the conference?
