Proposed Tweet for the panel the legal interns are putting on which I think
would both make them happy and would of interest to followers. Katherine
and I were talking about this earlier and the thought is to send it from
@Wikimedia (retweet from @Wikipedia) as we start (and the live link is
actually live)

Social Barriers to Free Knowledge
To: wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hi everyone,
In what is now becoming a tradition
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/07/19/wikimedia-foundation-hosts-law-tech-a…>,
this summer's crop of legal interns has planned a panel discussion about
something related to the law (as well as a bunch of other things, if legal
talks aren't exactly your jam) and relevant to Wikimedia:
*Legal, Technological, and Social Barriers to Free Knowledge*
*Thursday, July 31st*
*6:00 PM PDT*
*6th floor collab Space / video stream*
*Refreshments to follow*
*RSVP
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17O18Yikz3cHLDsGKR5VQiJIEAeT7MDypbqLxWs0MgO…>*
We've assembled a group of panelists from a variety of backgrounds to talk
about challenges to disseminating free knowledge, particularly in the
Global South:
-
- BJ Ard – Fellow, Information Society Project at *Yale Law School*
- Cliff Biffle – Tech Lead on Flight Systems, *Google Project Loon*
- Michelle Chang - Manager for Technology Programs, *The Asia Foundation*
- Carolynne Schloeder – Director of Mobile Programs, *Wikimedia
Foundation*
- Maira Sutton – Global Policy Analyst, *Electronic Frontier Foundation*
WMF's own Yana Welinder will moderate.
If you know you'll attend in person, it'll help us plan properly (i.e. have
enough snacks and drinks) if you RSVP:

If you aren't in SF, have no fear—the event will be streamed live and
recorded as well. You can sign up on the RSVP form to receive a link to the
stream and the recording.
Let me know if you have any questions!
- Chuck
