As part of the board of Students for Free Culture, I am helping to plan the 2010 conference which will be taking place on February 13th and 14th at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. The official announcement is located here.

The event, Free Culture X, will bring together student activists and free culture luminaries to discuss, network and plan the next steps in the free culture movement. The specific focus will be SFC’s current campaign to open education, as outlined in the Wheeler Declaration which noted that an open university is one in which:

  1. The research produced is open access,
  2. The course materials are open educational resources,
  3. Free and open source software is embraced,
  4. Patents are readily licensed for free software, essential medicines and the public good, and
  5. The network reflects the open nature of the Internet.

The 2008 Free Culture Conference at Berkeley was a great success and we are gaining momentum on the Open University Report Cards; I hope you can join us for the encore, Free Culture X.
