The aim of this page is to provide a structure for the Free Culture 2010 unconference discussion around the future and focus of Students For Free Culture efforts.

Open University Campaign, 2008-2010
The Open University Campaign (derived from the Wheeler Declaration) was formulated with enthusiasm and expected to become a major project of Free Culture efforts. Over a year and a half later progress has been made, but some general goals and deliverables are missing and substantial work remains.

 * What have been the roadblocks to more progress?
