Hi all
Some of you may have already learned about this:
Tomorrow evening we're hosting Mike Masnick from Techdirt
<https://www.techdirt.com/> at our office for a talk. Mike will speak about
the many ways that copyright has gone wrong and the need for reform. He has
written about technology and the law on his blog for almost 20 years and is
a great advocate for free knowledge and open culture!
This is the first event of a loose series of talks we have tentatively
named:
FREE OPEN SHARED <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Open_Shared_events>
Conversations about policy,
collaboration, and knowledge at the Wikimedia Foundation.
Doors open at 6pm and the talk itself will start shortly after 6.15pm PDT.
It will be live-streamed (and recorded) here:

In case you're in SF, please join us! The event will be open to the public.
