Archive:Free Culture Network

Things that should be done to help start FreeCulture.net:


 * Create mailing lists
 * There should be a general, non-geographically-based, 'talk about everything related to free culture' list. One could argue that FC(.o)-discuss already is this. For consistency's sake, though, it'd be nice if it were a FC-Net list instead... We should discuss this.
 * Lists for every locality that wants one (e.g. FC Boston)
 * Someone else should be updating/adding lists eventually, but we can create the first batch.


 * Install Wordpress
 * Having a blog is good--people can decide what they want to do with it


 * Install MediaWiki
 * Same as the blog...good for people to organize with


 * What is the free culture movement (generally)?
 * We should have a clear statement of what free culture is in general. (This is also partly something that we should have for FC.o.) I see an explanation as having three parts:
 * Our general principles
 * What issues are in our umbrella (free software, open access, copyright reform, P2P, etc etc)
 * This probably wouldn't be exhaustive
 * There are plans to create an 'issues' page for freeculture.org, so we could contribute to/copy that.
 * Our history
 * FSF, Lessig's book, Audionautes, etc etc
