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)

Hi everyone,
In what is now becoming a tradition https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/07/19/wikimedia-foundation-hosts-law-tech-and-social-change-event-in-san-francisco/, 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/17O18Yikz3cHLDsGKR5VQiJIEAeT7MDypbqLxWs0MgOU/viewform?usp=send_form*
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!
