Hello, Is there anyone who is interested in speaking on a panel workshop about Free Culture and Open Education at reRoute with me on Sunday, July 21st from 11am-12:30pm? The panel will be about the Free Culture movement more generally, the types of advocacy folks/chapters in the movement, and what people can do to foster student involvement. Let me know asap if you're interested!!
Many thanks, Jen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Sandmel <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 7:11 PM Subject: Re: Free Culture presence at reRoute To: [email protected] Cc: Cheyenna Weber <[email protected]>, Rachel Plattus <[email protected]>, Emma Beals < [email protected]> Hi Jennifer, Thanks so much for reaching out. We'd actually recently been discussing the notable absence of free culture programming in our schedule, a glaring omission. What's more, you have impeccable timing. We actually just had one of our workshops fall through at the last moment which means that we have an open slot on Sunday morning July 21 from 11:00-12:30. If you're interested in filling that spot we'll need you to act fairly quickly. First, we'll need a short description of the workshop as well as brief (1 paragraph) bios for any of the presenters. Second, we'll need to know if you have any special needs for your workshop. The room your in doesn't come with a projector set up and it would cost us considerable extra to be able to use one. However, if you really needed it we could have one set up. Additionally, we're happy to supply flip chart paper or other basic supplies. Third, we'll need each of your presenters to register for the conference so that we can track headcount. You're entitled to up to three free registrations for your presenters using the promo code "justandsustainable" (that said, if your presenters or organization can afford the registration fee it would really help us cover things like food and travel scholarships for out of town youth). Finally, if you're interested in tabling during opening registration time on Friday you should get in touch with Emma Beals (cc'd) as soon as possible. We've been asking tabling organizations to make a $75 contribution to our crowd-funding campaign<http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-young-leaders-attend-a-summit-on-building-a-just-and-sustainable-economy>but if that isn't possible we may still be able to work something out. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

The free culture and free software movements focus heavily on student engagement and empowerment, and we think it would be great to have our perspectives represented at the reRoute Conference this year. I understand that this is very last minute. I was only made aware of this conference from a program manager at Creative Commons a few days ago, but I thought it could be worth it to reach out to you and see if we could host a workshop session on Free Culture, technology policy, digital rights, free and open source software, open access to educational resources, and other related topics. Such topics are critical as students and digital natives become more heavily immersed with technology. Please let me know if this is a possibility and if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you so much for your consideration. All the best, Jennifer Jennifer J.
