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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsHp8hckkVc

In case you're in SF, please join us! The event will be open to the public. Find more info and RSVP at Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/free-open-shared-a-conversation-about-copyright-with-mike-masnick-tickets-28467161045 .
