FCNews calls itself "a project of Students for Free Culture" so it's often confusing why we have two blogs.  One is for news, and the other for…more news?  Before I talk about the differences, let me give a brief history of FCNews. FCNews sprung out of [Free Culture at Virginia Tech][3], the SFC chapter at Virginia Tech (I'm the chapter head there).  It initially existed as the FC< at >VT meeting wiki.  My members would post links to news, and because they were not required to write their own analysis, or go th FreeCulture.org - Students for Free Culture 2008-11-28T22:15:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2729 Hi there, what is the reason for having a `national blog' and freeculturenews.com? Don't they have the same goals? Can they be merged to one blog? thanks for your thoughts, flurios flurios 2008-11-28T00:00:51 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2727 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss< at >freeculture.org http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss Rich Jones 2008-11-27T18:34:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2723 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss< at >freeculture.org http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss Kevin Donovan 2008-11-22T17:04:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2722 (apologies for cross-posting) http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/663 Call for Papers - Openness and the Future of Higher Education This Call for Papers is for a theme issue of the International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning <www.irrodl.org> entitled: Openness and the Future of Higher Education. The projected publication date is October 2009. The Guest Editors are Dr. David Wiley and John Hilton. The aim of this Special Issue is to further our understanding of the manner in which the open source, open access, and open education movements are now and will impact higher education organizations, learners, and other stakeholders in the future. Our intent is to stimulate critical debate, encourage collection and analyses of relevant data, and add to the theoretical foundations used in policy and planning discussions related to openness within institutions of higher education. Special consideration will be given to articles that present analyses and interpretations of empirical data, but r Gavin Baker 2008-11-21T18:51:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2721 Thought people might be interested to hear about Open Everything Berlin, which will take place on Saturday 6th December 2008.

The government's estimation of how much it will cost exceeds $10 million, but more worrying is the trend towards networks filtered with systems that do not work and support legacy businesses at the expense of users. The massive lobbying efforts which made this law happen relies on the [inaccurate piracy statistics][1] that the big content industry often propagates. However, as Richard Esguerra of EFF explains, [filtering is next to useless][2] due to encryption and the willingness of students to swap media through non-network means (external hard drives and iPods). What filtering will do is hamper education and innovation - media studies programs will be unable to make use of fair use when sending files, for example. Obviously, this is an abhorrent trend that Students for Free Culture opposes.

The personal computer and the world wide web as well as sports like snowboarding and kitesurfing were pioneered not by entrepreneurs - they came later - but by hackers, enthusiasts, and other amateurs playing with technology in their spare time. In this talk, Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, will look at what the hackers are telling us now, in areas including Web 2.0, collective intelligence and the future of the internet, mobile computing, sensors, Matt Lee 2008-11-18T07:31:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2709 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss< at >freeculture.org http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss Kevin Donovan 2008-11-17T04:58:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2705 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss< at >freeculture.org http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss Gabriel de Urioste 2008-11-14T22:31:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2699 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss< at >freeculture.org http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss Randall John 2008-11-13T21:07:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2697 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss< at >freeculture.org http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss Adi Kamdar 2008-11-13T19:04:45 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.freeculture.discuss/2676 Writes Kevin Donovan on our blog: This past spring, Georgia State University [was sued for copyright infringement][1] by three massive academic publishing houses, Sage Press, Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press. The case, which has received woefully little attention from the free culture arena, has a number of [worrying implications][2] for both universities, specifically, and fair use, in general. This Friday, I had the opportunity to attend a panel discussion at the Georgetown University Library regarding the case where [Kenny Crews][3], [Roger Skalbeck][4] and [Anthony Moretti][5] discussed the case and it's implications for higher education; here are some observations and commentary: **The Case at Hand** The [lawsuit][6] centers around Georgia State's use of electronic reserves to make available digital copies of course readings. The case specifically approaches book chapters, though e-reserves are used at numerous universities for assigned readings of various types.
