I'm going to be submitting a presentation about the work I've done with two
archives and an online library as Wikipedian in Residence and the power of
utilizing open culture data. It'll be a slight overlap to presentations
I've given at other library conferences, but, it'll be a chance to show off
unique open culture opportunities...
If panels or other things come into fruition I'm happy to participate as
well if desired. And yes, I love licensing talk ;)
Thanks Phoebe for posting this.

For the formal conference sessions , we are interested in any and all
topics related to:
* Open access publishing and institutional repositories
* Sustainability, scalability, and assessment of open access
* Open educational resources and open access applications in the
classroom
* Massive open online courses (MOOCs) - copyright issues,
assessment, challenges
* Outreach, promotion, and overcoming resistance to open initiatives
We will consider proposals for individual presentations and panels
organized around a theme.
This sounds interesting - thanks for raising it, Phoebe.
My normal material - open licensing - seems like it would be a bit
offtopic, so I won't submit something by myself. But if anyone is
considering a panel where an open licensing perspective would be useful as
part of a broader/more interesting theme, please contact me - I'd be happy
to help out.

I don't think it's off-topic at all, considering that all of this
openness
has to be built on open licensing :) But, I think the audience
will likely be familiar with but not hugely knowledgeable about open
licenses & issues, so a survey or similar would probably be good.
The problem with that sort of thing is that the basic survey is often
boring - like you say, many people will be familiar with it. Specific
questions are interesting, but it is hard for me to know what exactly will
be of interest beforehand. That's part of why I suggest a panel- I'd be
happy to field questions, and those could be quite interesting, but don't
have a good/interesting/informative spiel that would stand on its own.
I know from the university perspective lots of
faculty (and librarians)
have a lot of questions about what open license mandates from the
government or in university repositories mean about the rights to their
work, concerns about commercial use, etc.
For mandates, particularly around OER, someone from CC or PLOS is likely
to be more useful than I am- it just isn't (yet :) my area of specialty.
(Which is the other reason I'm a little reluctant to jump in directly.)
