Re: [Social-media] [Wmfall] Panel Event, Thursday, July 31: Legal, Technological, and Social Barriers to Free Knowledge

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) Join @Wikimedia <https://twitter.com/Wikimedia>: Breaking down barriers to free knowledge w/ @maira <https://twitter.com/maira>, @carolynne <https://twitter.com/carolynne>, @bj_ard <https://twitter.com/bj_ard> and Cliff Biffle.
