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)

Subject: [Wmfall] Panel Event, Thursday, July 31: Legal, Technological, and Social Barriers to Free Knowledge
To: wmfall@lists.wikimedia.org


Hi everyone,

In what is now becoming a tradition, 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

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
